GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  THIS MESSAGE PROVIDES INFORMATION TO 
CLARIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AFLOAT SAFETY SURVEYS COMMENCING 
IN FY12.
2.  BEFORE 30 SEP 11, SHIPS AND SUBMARINES CONDUCTED SAFETY 
SURVEYS BASED ON THE 36-MONTH REQUIREMENT IN REF A AND WITHIN
365 DAYS PRIOR TO AN INSURV IN REF B.  BASED ON THE AGREEMENT 
BETWEEN COMUSFLTFORCOM, THE AFLOAT TYPE COMMANDERS, AND 
COMNAVSAFECEN, ON 1 OCT 11 THE AFLOAT SAFETY SURVEY 
REQUIREMENT CHANGED TO A 24-MONTH CYCLE AND ELIMINATED THE 
PRE-INSURV REQUIREMENT IN REF B.
3.  THIS ACTION PERMITS THE SURVEY TEAMS TO SEE COMMANDS AT AN 
INTERVAL THAT SUPPORTS THE EVALUATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS; 
AIDS OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE SAFETY READINESS; AND SUPPORTS THE 
COLLECTION OF CONSISTENT SURVEY DATA FOR TRACKING, TRENDING, 
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, CORRECTIVE ACTIONS, AND FOLLOW-UP 
RESULTS.  IT ALIGNS DIVING AND SUBMARINE SURVEY REQUIREMENTS 
(ELIMINATING ANOTHER INTERRUPTION FOR SUBMARINE CREWS) AND 
ELIMINATES SHORT-NOTICE, SINGLE-UNIT SURVEY TRIPS ASSOCIATED 
WITH CHANGING INSURV AND OPERATIONAL SCHEDULING AND THE 
ASSOCIATED FUNDING.  THE REVISED REQUIREMENT FURTHER IMPROVES 
OUR FUNDING ALLOCATION BY MAXIMIZING OUR AVAILABILITY FOR ALL 
UNITS WITHIN THE 24-MONTH-SURVEY WINDOW THAT WILL BE IN PORT 
DURING THE SURVEY TEAM'S VISIT SO THEY CAN COMPLETE THEIR 
SAFETY SURVEY.
4.  THE NAVAL SAFETY CENTER WILL SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS TO 
UPDATE REF A AND REF B TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE DURING THE NEXT 
REVISION CYCLE.// BT
