Changing or adding part numbers to any Coast Guard Illustrated Parts Catalog, or Illustrated Parts Breakdown may be incorporated directly from what form?

• A. Supply Item Change Records ( SICRs )
• B. Change Request Forms
• C. Catalog Amendment Sheets
• D. Parts Update Logs

Answer: (A)

Changes to the Illustrated Parts Catalog or Illustrated Parts Breakdown are controlled through the Supply Item Change Record. When a part number needs to be added or changed, a SICR is created with the item identifier, the new or revised part number, a description, the reason for the change, and the effective date. This form serves as the official record authorizing the update to the IPC/IPB, ensuring traceability and consistency across the catalog. Once approved, the change data from the SICR is used to update the catalog.

Other forms exist in related processes, but they do not directly drive the catalog update. Change Request Forms initiate proposals for modifications and may lead to SICRs, but they aren’t the authoritative update document themselves. Catalog Amendment Sheets document proposed revisions but aren’t the primary mechanism for incorporating changes. Parts Update Logs record what was updated, not the method used to implement the change.
