The document discusses Technical Information Letters (TILs) which are used by GE Energy to communicate technical issues and recommendations to customers in a timely manner. It describes the TIL initiation and approval process, distribution methods, new standardized TIL format, and compliance categories.

TILs are used by GE Energy to communicate technical issues and recommendations to customers in a timely manner to improve equipment reliability, efficiency and safety. They provide guidelines on maintenance best practices and actions that may need to be taken to correct conditions.

The four compliance categories for TILs are: Optional (O), Maintenance (M), Compliance Required (C), and Alert/Safety (A). They indicate the importance and required timeline for completing the recommended actions in the TIL.
