The P1 deliverables must be reviewed by the Contractor’s Quality Assurance personnel as identified in Section 14 prior to submission to the COR. MSC review is not to be used as the Contractor’s Quality Assurance (QA) review. If P1 deliverables are submitted with reservations, omissions or are unacceptable per the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) the P1 deliverables will be rejected and returned to the contractor as unacceptable and updated P1 deliverables must be resubmitted to MSC. This process must continue until MSC accepts the P1 deliverables. Each new revision of P1 deliverables must be marked with a subsequent letter starting with P1A, P1B, P1C, etc. until P1 deliverables are accepted by MSC. An updated POAM must be submitted within 2 business days of receiving the rejection from COR.

9.2 The Contractor must adjudicate and/or incorporate all comments from the P1 deliverables review to create the P2 (A011) deliverables. The P2 deliverables must be complete, technically correct, and properly formatted with no reservations, errors or omissions. The P2 deliverables must be reviewed by the Contractor’s Quality Assurance personnel as identified in (2025 LT compatible) prior to submission to the COR. MSC review is not to be used as the Contractor’s Quality Assurance (QA) review. The P2 deliverables must be submitted with a listing of all P1 comments (or later revision, if required) and their resolution status. The listing should also include explanation for any comments not thoroughly incorporated, and responses to any design questions. The Contractor’s Quality Assurance personnel must ensure all P1 (or later revision, if required) comments have satisfactorily been addressed prior to submission to the COR. If P2 deliverables are submitted with reservations, omissions or are unacceptable per the PRS the deliverable will be rejected and returned to the contractor as unacceptable and updated Preliminary Copy (P2) must be submitted to MSC. This process must continue until MSC accepts the P2 deliverables. Each new revision of P2 must be marked with a subsequent letter starting with P2A, P2B, P2C, etc. until P2 deliverables are accepted by MSC. An updated POAM must be submitted within 2 business days of receiving the rejection from COR. MSC reserves the right to make new comments during P2 review.

9.3 After P2 deliverables have been accepted by the COR, all preliminary revision marks and revision notes must be removed from the drawings and they must be labeled as “Rev –” (A014) or the most up to date revision. The “Rev –” deliverables must be reviewed by the Contractor’s Quality Assurance personnel prior to submission to the COR. If Rev- is submitted with reservations, omissions or is unacceptable per the PRS, the deliverable will be rejected and returned to the contractor as unacceptable and an updated Rev - must be submitted to MSC. This process must continue until MSC accepts the Rev - deliverable. Each new revision of Rev - must be marked with the submittal date on both the file name and in the revision notes section for document control. For any deliverables that do not require regulatory approval, this deliverable will become the Final Copy after MSC’s comments are incorporated and Rev – is accepted.

9.4 After the “Rev –” deliverables are approved by MSC, the Contractor must submit the approved “Rev –” final deliverables to ABS for review via ABS website (www.eagle.org) and to the USCG at msc@uscg.mil. When submitting to ABS (see GFI 8.10), and USCG the Contractor must include the COR in the Notification List with both Submission and Approval rights. When completing form 8.12, Contractor should provide it to their COR in accordance with Reference 8.9 for ABS Services to be processed. The Contractor is responsible for addressing any technical comments from ABS and USCG (CDRL A015) including all required calculations to obtain ABS/USCG approvals. Prior to uploading any technical comment responses to ABS and the USCG, the Contractor must first submit the responses to the COR. Upon approval from the COR, technical comment responses must be officially uploaded to the ABS website and submitted to the USCG. MSC must be copied on all information submitted to ABS/USCG and all ABS/USCG responses. The Contractor is responsible for following up with ABS/USCG to ensure Final Deliverables are received on time from ABS/USCG to meet MSC Final Delivery dates. The Contractor must be responsible for delivering all ABS/USCG stamped plans and corresponding approval letters from ABS/USCG to the COR. Documents must be submitted directly to the COR from the Contractor; the COR downloading plans and letters from the ABS website does not meet this requirement. All items must be returned stamped ABS “APPROVED” or “REVIEWED” and with a letter of approval from USCG or ABS Stamped “APPROVED BY ABS ON BEHALF OF USCG” (CDRL A016) in accordance with the NVIC 10-92 review procedures as outlined in References 10.3.5 respectively.
