CUSTODY - Cognizance and limited responsibilities for aircraft equipage, equipment, material, and SE. Categories of custody are CONTROLLING CUSTODY, PHYSICAL CUSTODY, and REPORTING CUSTODY.

CUSTODY CODES - Custody codes are single position alpha characters which provide supplemental accountability detail about an SE transaction and the effect of the transaction on supply and financial records. These codes identify a specific category of SE items placed in the primary custody of an IMA. These items are issued to other activities on a subcustody basis. Custody codes are assigned using the following general guidelines:

Code D - This code is assigned to items listed only in a detachment list code, requiring management, and having a custody code of P or E. Code D will take precedence in IMRL printing, and the D coded item will be allowanced in the same manner as the P coded item listed. For example, Code D would apply to items required on air capable ships by deployable detachments.

Code E - This code is assigned to items used infrequently (less than once per month), and indicates the item is available from the supporting I-level as required. Supporting I-levels are authorized a predetermined quantity of E coded items. The items are made available to activities by the I-level and after use are returned to the supporting I-level.

Code M - This code is assigned to noncalibratable items requiring management not otherwise custody coded. The items will be allowanced in the same manner as L coded items. Applicable items will be identified by SECAs and assigned Code M by NAVAIRWARCENACDIV Lakehurst, NJ personnel. For example, a noncalibratable item such as a carrying case for a calibratable item when listed in the source data as a separate end item.

Code N - This code is automatically assigned to items not requiring calibration or management and consequently not otherwise coded. If the supported maintenance level is an I-level, then Custody Code N is automatically assigned.

A-18

Code P - This code is assigned to items weighing over 200 pounds (over 300 pounds for wheeled equipment) or exceeding any one of the following dimensions in a stowed configuration: 6' x 3' x 2', fragile or subject to misalignment or loss of calibration through transportation, or not coded for infrequent use. When authorized for supporting I-levels, the I-level’s contingency support package quantity shall be the total quantity required for subcustody issue to each O-level activity supported. The items are issued on a subcustody basis for full time utilization, and shall be returned to the I-level prior to deployment. When deployed, user activities shall be issued these items on a subcustody basis from the new supporting I-level.

Code L - This code is assigned to all items requiring calibration and management, designated for use at the O-level of maintenance, when not already coded D, E, or P. The quantity authorized will be the total quantity required for subcustody by each activity supported. The items are retained by O-level activities when deployed.

CUSTOMER ACTIVITY - MEASURE participants who coordinate the servicing and calibration of PME/TAMS within a specific area, for example, AIMDs, MALS, and ships.

CUSTOMER SERVICE - D-level services, including emergency check, test, minor repair, manufacture of parts, heat treat, plating, and machine shop service, to relieve NMCS, PMCS, and work stoppage conditions.
