FACILITIES INSTRUCTIONS, STANDARDS AND
TECHNIQUES (FIST) MANUALS
Reclamation maintains a series of manuals entitled Facilities Instructions, Standards, & Techniques (FIST) which pertain to the operation and maintenance of hydroelectric equipment. Reclamation no longer sells publications, however, most of Reclamation's significant scientific, technical, and engineering works are available from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). Information regarding availability and pricing may be obtained by contacting NTIS at the following address:
