Which directive type is automatically cancelled after 12 months if an earlier cancellation date is not specified?

• A. Instructions
• B. Manuals
• C. Notices
• D. SOP

Answer: (C)

Notices are designed to be time-sensitive guidance. If a notice doesn’t specify an earlier cancellation date, it is automatically cancelled after 12 months. This keeps temporary information from lingering and ensures procedures stay current. Other directive types—Instructions, Manuals, and SOPs—do not automatically expire; they stay in effect until someone formally cancels, revises, or supersedes them.
