Stark Engineering Flashcards
Stark
What is a sector EO authorized to do to ensure timely completion of all scheduled or unscheduled maintenance activities for any sector asset?
Who else can?
Classify an asset as NMCM
The OIC
Stark
When is an engineering waiver needed?
Who has final authority to grant an engineering waiver?
To get permission to operate an asset with a disabling discrepancy or to operate equipment overdue on scheduled maintenance
The operational commander grants the waiver after product line approves the request
Stark
When granted, how is an engineering waiver documented
In EAL: sign off the restrictive or disabling discrepancy stating; “Waived for operational use IAW PL approval (DTG) and OPCON approval (DTG)”
Create new discrepancy stating original discrepancy and restrictions/limitations
Status asset PMC and record applicable waiver comments
Stark
What is the difference between an engineering waiver and a safe to sail waiver?
An engineering waiver is routed to Product Line for approval to operate equipment outside normal parameters or overdue on scheduled maintenance
A STS waiver is requested by the unit OIC to OPCON to get underway or stay underway with anything less than the published STS critical equipment list

Stark
What does a priority two parts request, form CG-4491 require?
A disabling maintenance record entered in ALMIS/EAL
Stark
What are pink sheets used for in Almis
To document mission related discrepancies
Stark
Is a pink sheet required even if the rare no discrepancies
Yes. NTE - Nothing To Report
Stark
What are white sheets used for in Almis
To document discrepancies that are not mission related
Stark
Can a white sheet be used to document mission-related discrepancies
Yes. When waiting for mission close out would cause an unreasonable delay
Stark
How long can a discrepancy be open in Almis until it’s status has to be deferred? Are there exceptions?
24 hours
Yes, disabling discrepancies remain open
Stark
If not a disabling discrepancy, what are open discrepancies deferred to?
PP: Parts Pending
CF: Carried Forward
CFD: Carried Forward Depot
Stark
What is required for maintenance records deferred as parts pending?
A document or purchase request number
Stark
What are all the asset status types?
FMC: Fully Mission Capable PMC: Partially Mission Capable NMCM: Not Mission Capable Maintenance NMCS: Supply NMCD: Depot NMCL: Lay-up
Stark
If an asset is listed as NMCM, NMCS,or PMC what must be included in the asset status remarks
At least one maintenance discrepancy that describes what work, parts, etc are required to return the asset to FMC
Stark
What three conditions must exist to list an asset status as NMCS
NMC because parts are needed
No progress can be made until parts are received
No other required maintenance needs to be done to restore asset status
Stark
What should the asset status be for patrol boats in a scheduled Charlie period
The asset status should accurately reflect the cutters current capabilities
Stark
What should a patrol boats asset status be if scheduled maintenance affects the cutters Safe To Sail
NMCM with a maintenance record indicating that scheduled maintenance is being done
Stark
What is required to make a change to any boat materials, systems, equipment, or arrangements?
An approved prototype authorization, engineering change, time compliance technical order
OIC is held accountable for any unauthorized changes and shall be returned to original configuration at units expense
Stark
What is an authorized chemical list
An ACL is a list of the allowable chemicals and hazmat authorized for use of each asset
Stark
When are hazmat inventories and the ACL audited
During logistics compliance inspections
Stark
What are logistic compliance inspections
Evaluates a civil engineering organizations ability to perform key logistic processes in a safe, standardized, and technically compliant manner
Stark
What areas are inspected for a logistics compliance inspection
Maintenance processes and procedures
Maintenance documentation, configuration, technical data, and supply support
Stark
Who is required to make the initial certification while conducting hot work on an asset
A marine chemist for civilian or military personnel or a gas free engineer for work by military personnel only
Stark
What are red zones and green zones in relation to conducting hot workin a CG small boat
Red zones required a marine chemist or GFE
Green zones require a qualified competent person designated in writing by the OIC
Stark
What is the definition of a confined space?
A space of any size or configuration that has limited opening for entry and exit, unfavorable natural ventilation, or is not designed for continuous worker occupancy
Stark
What are five examples of a confined space
Boilers, pressure vessels, engine crank cases, compressor rooms, cargo holds, storage tanks, double bottoms, voids, chain lockers, crawl spaces
Stark
Who finds the repairs in the event of fire, flooding, collision, allusion, grounding, or traffic accidents? What funds? How documented?
SBPL
AFC 45
Documented with a mishap report and an entry in EAL that includes the e-mishap number or indicate that a mishap investigation is still underway
Stark
What is bi-level maintenance and where does the funding for each come from
Organizational: AFC 30 and 34, shore unit capable and authorized to perform, routine maintenance and minor repairs less than $5k
Depot: AFC 43, major maintenance beyond unit capability, contracting services, construction, environmental restoration, and real property asset modifications
Stark
How do you report a shore facility equipment malfunction or building/structure deficiency?
CASREP via Shore Side Maintenance Request
Stark
How is funding for CASREPS disbursed and prioritized?
Planned Obligation Prioritization (pop) boards
Stark
Who authorizes any modifications to a shore facility? Examples of modifications
Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center and CG-43
Change in building square footage, removal of load bearing walls, modification to mechanical systems or life safety codes
Stark
What is a facility assessment? Completed by who and how often?
Assessed completion of shore organizational level maintenance and safety assessments. Creates and verifies backlog PRs.
Trained Civil, once every three years
Stark
There are 14 hazard related programs required at sectors and their sub-units. “List seven”
Respiratory protection Heat stress Hearing conservation Confined space entry Working at heights/fall protection Asbestos Blood-borne pathogen Lockout/tagout Hazard communication Motor vehicle PPE Fire protection Laser hazard Lead hazard
Stark
Is the USCG subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulations?
Yes. The OIC is responsible to ensure compliance of all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations
Stark
Who can inspect CG property for hazardous waste programs and when?
The EPA, state and local jurisdictions all have authority to conduct inspections and enforce their hazardous waste management and disposal laws
Stark
Who must be notified of your unit receives a notice of violation or a notice of non-compliance for environmental compliance?
Unit servicing CEU
SILC - Environmental mgmt division
CG-47, office of environmental mgmt
