This regulation states that only those documents listed in table 2-1 (Composition of the OMPF) and table 2-2 (Obsolete or No Longer Used Documents) are authorized for filing in the OMPF. Depending on the purpose, documents will be filed in the OMPF in one of three sections: performance, service, or restricted.
