1.2.3.10.7. Contractor inspection records (e.g., API 570, Piping Inspection Code: Inspecting,
Repair, Alteration, and Rerating of In-Service Piping Systems, API Std 653, Tank Inspection,
Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction, and leak detection reports).
1.2.3.10.8. MAJCOM infrastructure assessment reports.
1.2.3.10.9. Inspection schedules and cathodic protection records.
1.2.4. DESC Responsibilities.
1.2.4.1. DESC manages and funds projects that:
1.2.4.1.1. Directly support the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) bulk petroleum management
mission. Only fixed permanent facilities are eligible. (Contingency facilities do not typically
meet these criteria.)
1.2.4.1.2. Either store or distribute DESC product.
1.2.4.1.3. Ensure environmental compliance.
1.2.4.1.5. Are of economic benefit to DESC.
1.2.4.1.6. Are directed by DESC, or are necessary to meet minimum inventory level
requirements.
1.2.4.2. MILCON Program.
DLA and DESC manage the fuels MILCON program (see
Attachment 5).
1.2.4.3. DESC manages and funds the MRE program. This program is similar to the O&M
program familiar to base-level personnel.
1.2.5. Valve References. Throughout this manual there will be references to automatic valves using
Cla-Val model numbers because the majority of Air Force fueling systems are controlled using
Cla-Val components. It has also become common practice to refer to valves and pilot valves by the
Cla-Val designations, even those provided by other manufacturers. This is not an endorsement of one
company over another; rather, it is an expedient to make this manual understandable to the most
people. At installations with valves made by other companies, follow the manufacturers' procedures.
