[Response] Joseph, The short answer is no, don't know any more about the staus of the name change, but we have asked one of our DSMC professors to follow up with OSD. The long answer (which you may already know most of) is: Although not a logistics plan, the Life Cycle Signature Support Plan (LCSSP) is required by DoDD 5250.01 http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/525001p.pdf - "Para 4.2. Life-cycle signature support plans shall be established for validated and approved signature dependent programs and shall be developed during the concept refinement and technology development phases. They shall be fully defined prior to pre-Milestone B, as defined in DoD Directive 5000.01 (Reference (i)) and DoD Instruction 5000.02 (Reference (j)), and verified throughout the acquisition process." Nicholas Torelli (DDR&E) did brief at the April 2011 Acquisition Community Symposium that the LCSSP was in the process of being renamed as a "Life-Cycle Mission Data Plan" to be more comprehensive under the auspices of the "Reducing Non-Productive Processes & Bureaucracy" Better Buying Power initiative. We still have not seen anything indicating that policy has been issued; DoDD 5250.01 still specifies the LCSSP though.
