electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage during a nuclear attack.
4. The statement END OF FIGURE appears just below the last item description in column (6) for a given figure in
both the repair parts list and special tools list work packages.
QTY (Column (7)). The QTY (quantity per figure) column indicates the quantity of the item used in the breakout
shown on the illustration/figure, which is prepared for a functional group, subfunctional group, or an assembly. A

EXPLANATION OF CROSS-REFERENCE INDEXES WORK PACKAGES FORMAT AND COLUMNS
0001
1. National Stock Number (NSN) Index Work Package. NSNs in this index are listed in National Item
Identification Number (NIIN) sequence.
a. STOCK NUMBER Column. This column lists the NSN in NIIN sequence. The NIIN consists of the last
nine digits of the NSN. When using this column to locate an item, ignore the first four digits of the NSN.
However, the complete NSN should be used when ordering items by stock number. For example, if the
NSN is 5385-01-574-1476, the NIIN is 01-574-1476.
b. FIG. Column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located. The figures
are in numerical order in the repair parts list and special tools list work packages.
c.
ITEM Column. The item number identifies the item associated with the figure listed in the adjacent FIG.
column. This item is also identified by the NSN listed on the same line.
2. Part Number (P/N) Index Work Package. Part numbers in this index are listed in ascending alphanumeric
sequence (vertical arrangement of letter and number combinations which places the first letter or digit of each
group in order A through Z, followed by the numbers 0 through 9 and each following letter or digit in like order).
a. PART NUMBER Column. Indicates the P/N assigned to the item.
b. FIG. Column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located in the repair
parts list and special tools list work packages.
c.
ITEM Column. The item number is the number assigned to the item as it appears in the figure referenced
in the adjacent FIG. column.
SPECIAL INFORMATION

1. Fabrication Instructions. Bulk materials required to manufacture items are listed in the bulk material
functional group of this RPSTL. Part numbers for bulk material are also referenced in the Description column of
the line item entry for the item to be manufactured/fabricated.
2. Index Numbers. Items which have the word BULK in the figure column will have an index number shown in
the item number column. This index number is a cross-reference between the NSN/Part Number (P/N) Index
work packages and the bulk material list in the repair parts list work package.
