SCOPE OF SYSTEM The Directives Issuance System contains the standard   procedures   and   formats   used   to promulgate policy, procedural, and informational releases  in  the  Department  of  the  Navy.  A directive: Prescribes  or  establishes  policy,  organiza- tion,   conduct,   methods,   or   procedures. Requires  action  or  sets  forth  information essential to the effective administration or opera- tion  of  activities  concerned. Contains   authority   or   information   that must  be  promulgated  formally. The  types  of  directives  used  in  the  Navy  Direc- tives  Issuance  System  are  INSTRUCTIONS, NOTICES,   and   CHANGE   TRANSMITTALS. An  INSTRUCTION  is  a  directive  containing authority   or   information   having   continuing reference  value,  or  requiring  continuing  action. It remains in effect until superseded or otherwise canceled  by  the  originator  or  higher  authority. NOTE:  The  equivalent  to  an  INSTRUCTION  in the  Marine  Corps  is  an  ORDER. A NOTICE is a directive of a one-time or brief nature  which  has  a  self-canceling  provision.  It  has the same force and effect as an INSTRUCTION. It  will  usually  remain  in  effect  for  less  than  6 months, but is not permitted to remain in effect for longer than 1 year. Any requirement for con- tinuing  action  contained  in  a  NOTICE,  such  as the  submission  of  a  report,  use  of  a  form,  or following  a  specified  procedure,  is  considered  to be canceled when the NOTICE is canceled, unless the   requirement   is   incorporated   into   another suitable  document.  NOTE:  The  equivalent  to  a NOTICE  in  the  Marine  Corps  is  a  BULLETIN. A  CHANGE  TRANSMITTAL  is  the  medium used  to  transmit  changes  to  an  INSTRUCTION or, under extenuating circumstances, a NOTICE. Each   CHANGE   TRANSMITTAL   describes   the nature of the changes it transmits and gives direc- tions  for  making  them. ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE DIRECTIVES  ISSUANCE  SYSTEM The  Directives  Issuance  System  is  managed from an overall standpoint by the Chief of Naval 4-37 Operations  (CNO).  It  is  the  specific  respon- sibility  of  the  CNO  to: Provide  for  needed  improvements  and changes in the system. Provide guidance and technical assistance to  Department  of  the  Navy  components  in developing,  installing,  operating,  and  improving the system. Coordinate   with   headquarters   organiza- tions,  recommendations  for  changes  in  policies, standards,  and  procedures. Issuing Authority The  issuing  authority  (the  official  by  whose authority  and  under  whose  title  a  directive  is issued)  ensures  compliance  with  the  Directives Issuance  System.  This  individual  also  promulgates internal  procedures  necessary  for  administering the system. It is the specific responsibility of the issuing  authority  to: Ensure that directives are issued to docu- ment programs, functions, organizations, policies, and  procedures. Ensure   that   all   directives   conform   to Department of the Navy policies and regulations, and  to  statutory  requirements. Conduct   annual   and   other   reviews   to ensure that the system’s requirements are being met. Provide  training  for  personnel  who  draft, review,  prepare,  and  maintain  directives. Issue  a  conversion  table  showing  the  old and  new  identifications  of  directives  when  the official  name  of  an  activity  is  changed,  or  when activities  are  consolidated  or  divided. Ensure  that  directives  are  automatically furnished  to  a  newly  established  activity  or  an activity  moved  from  one  command  to  another. Directives Control Point Each command has a directives control point which evaluates the system’s operations within the
