"Revise APB" is for the original ongoing program. See APB format in Consolidated Acquisition Reporting System (CARS) section of the Defense Acquisition Guide. 2/ If a new, or change to an existing, CDD/CPD or TEMP is required, see formats for CDD/CPD and TEMP in reference (f) and Defense Acquisition Guide, respectively. 3/ "Prepare ACAT designation request" is for the "modification only", unless the original program is still ongoing (i.e., in production), in which case the ACAT designation request shall encompass both the original program and the modification(s). See the ACAT designation request and ACAT designation change request content memorandum in the DON Acquisition and Capabilities Guide. 4/ $ threshold for "Abbreviated Acquisition Programs" is less than: for weapon system programs, $10M total development expenditure, $25M total production or services expenditure in any fiscal year, and $50M total production or services expenditure for all fiscal years; for IT programs, $15M program costs in any single year and $30M total program costs. 5/ If answer to column 5 is YES*, an approved CDD/CPD or CDD/CPD revision is required. 6/ For IT programs, endorsement is provided by the IT functional area manager, approval is provided by the resource sponsor. 7/ For modifications that require additional funding, see ASN(RD&A) memorandum, “Shipbuilding Cost Growth - Configuration Control,” 4 Sep 01 Y NON- ACQUISITION PROGRAM 4/ URGENT OR WAR 1/ RAPID DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY 2/ Y MDA DECISION TO HANDLE AS STAND ALONE PROGRAM 6/ YN Modification Process Table (SECNAVINST 5000.2C, Enclosure (2), para 2.5.5, Table E2T2) PEO C4I and Space ACQUISITION CATEGORY DESIGNATION FLOWCHART REFERENCES: A.
