The USPS Postal Bulletin is published bi-weekly

newspaper format (see figure l-3). It contains official
information (temporary instructions, special

forms, stolen money order list, and so on) as well as
other information of general interest to postal
personnel. All military post offices receive the Postal
Bulletins. Each copy should be filed and kept available
for ready reference for at least 1 year.
STANDARD NAVY DISTRIBUTION LIST
The Standard Navy Distribution List (SNDL) is
published by the office of the Chief of Naval
Operations (OPNAV) to provide for the proper
addressing and distribution of mail to Chief of Naval
Operations (CNO) and Secretary of the Navy
(SECNAV), formally established activities as well as
other miscellaneous DOD and DON activities, and to
provide a central distribution system for directives and
correspondence.
The SNDL is published
electronically in two parts:
Part 1—part 1 is entitled, “Standard Navy
Distribution List, Operating Forces of the Navy,
Unified and Specified Commands, U.S. Elements of
International Commands,” OPNAVNOTE 5400.
The following information may be found in part 1:
A list of ships by name alphabetically
A list of commands by SNDL list numbers
Annex A, which contains a list of Military Sealift
Command ships and their FPO addresses
Plain Language Address (PLA)
Unit Identification Codes (UIC)
Part 2—part 2 of the SNDL the, “Catalog of Naval
Shore Activities,” OPNAVNOTE 5400, contains
distribution lists for the Navy Department and all CNO
and SECNAV formally established shore activities.
Each symbol represents a type of naval activity. The
originator, by listing the appropriate SNDL numbers or
letter-number combinations, notifies the distributing
office what activities should receive the material. The
listings are included at the end of the publication,
directive, or letter.
Revisions and Changes—The SNDL is reissued
quarterly on CD-ROM via the OPNAV/SECNAV
directive process or is available on the OPNAV/
SECNAV directives website or commands can receive
a monthly update by providing a 3 1/2 floppy disc to
CNO-OP09B22.
Serial changes are provided to
commands that want to maintain an updated SNDL and
who process large volumes of mail that require
up-to-date information. This publication is maintained
by the administrative department.
NAVY NOTICES AND INSTRUCTIONS
A directive is a written order printed and
distributed.
Certain Navy publications are issued
through the Navy Directives Issuance System, which
provides a uniform method of issuing directives by all
activities in the Navy. The types of directives used in
this system are instructions and notices. Instructions
and notices are defined briefly here to assist you in
identifying other publications issued as instructions.
An instruction is a type of directive that is
permanent in nature or it remains in effect until
replaced or canceled by the originator or higher
authority.
A notice is a directive of a one-time nature or one
that contains information or action for a brief time
