Proper identification and control of FSCAP is critical to ensure that both the Coast Guard and the public at large are protected from the use of unapproved parts. Every aspect from ordering to disposition of parts will be scrutinized by ARSC supply personnel. The goal of the program is to realize the inherent reliability capabilities of the equipment being maintained. 1-9 ..e. The FSCAP program is managed by G-SEA in coordination with G-SL.
