It provides guidance for developing, implementing, and maintaining TDM plans and programs to support Coast Guard assets. It communicates TDM practices persons responsible for acquiring or developing Coast Guard technical data must evaluate for applicability when acquiring, controlling, distributing, maintaining, and disposing of Coast Guard technical data.
