RIDER
REQUISITION SYSTEM
Issued
12/10/90; Effective 11/26/90
SECTION
1. PURPOSE.
This
Order provides policy and procedures for ordering
publications under the United States Government Printing
Office (GPO) Rider Requisition System.
SECTION
2. SCOPE.
The
provisions of this Order apply to all organizational
units of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) that place orders with the GPO for publications
at the time of their initial printing.
SECTION
3. POLICY.
.01 The Rider Requisition System was established by
the GPO to inform agencies of the Government of certain
upcoming publications that may be of interest to their
organizations and how they may be ordered at a reduced
rate. The rider requisition procedures outlined in
this Order are prescribed by NOAA and comply with GPO
and Department of Commerce (DOC) procedures.
.02
The Office of Primary Interest is considered to be
the program office most familiar with the subject
matter to be ordered and most knowledgeable as to the
overall requirements within the Office of Administration
(OA) or an Administrative Support Center (ASC) for
a particular publication.
SECTION
4. AUTHORITY.
With
the issuance of this Order, the Publications Officer
within the Printing and Visual Arts Branch,
OA, and the servicing ASCs are authorized to establish
the Office of Primary Interest inside their respective
service areas for ordering publications under the Rider
Requisition System.
SECTION
5. RESPONSIBILITIES/PROCEDURES.
.01 Upon notification of the availability of a publication,
the Office of Primary Interest must canvass all affected
NOAA components within their respective ASC or OA service
area and submit a completed DOC Form CD-10, Publications
Services, along with a distribution list to their servicing
Publications Officer within the established deadline.
.02 The request will be processed by the Publications
Officer and forwarded to the DOC for consolidation
with requirements from other DOC bureaus prior to placing
the order with the GPO.
.03 If the Office of Primary Interest fails to meet
the specified date for an order, it will not be possible
for NOAA to take advantage of the reduced price of
a rider requisition. In such a case, the ASC Publications
Officer will return the Form CD-10 and distribution
list to the Office of Primary Interest.
The
Office of Primary Interest shall then be responsible
for obtaining the publications directly from the GPO
Superintendent of Documents at the prevailing rate.
SECTION
5. EFFECT ON OTHER ISSUANCES.
This Order supersedes NOAA Directives Manual 48-55
dated March 5, 1982.
