not by major Items envisaged In a five-year plan. In this connection alI measures which are to be carried out during a 290 given year are selected from the problems and Included In pilans of different order. This Is done by the USSR State Committee on science and technology with the p~rtlclpatlon of ministries and departments. The same procedure Is applied In case of standardization, unification and metrological activities. Annual targets tor these areas are approved by the USSR Standardization Committee. Planning forms for S&T dayalopmAnt AI I plan subsections and their supplements are elaborated and submitted tor consld~ratlon and approYal. The aprpoval Is done according to previously established forms. This Is an Important methodological requirement tor correct planning. Wi~­ out It, It would be Impossible to ensure the uniformity of draft targets which are elaborated by various bodies. Due attention Is given to the elaboration of forms. The forms should be established In a clear-cut manner and understandable for a~l who fill them ln. They should exclude any posslbll tty of misinterpretation of Instructions In fll I log them. In spite of a great variety of forms for planning S&T development, alI of them have obi lgatory attributes such as the following: a) form title which Identifies In a clear-cut manner the obJect of planning (e.g. "Mastering of new types of produce"• "Complex standardization of maJor types of produce", •Introduction of scientific organization of work"); b) time horizon of plan -annual (e.g. 1984), five-year (e.g. 1986-1990>: c) executor of plan (name of ministry, department and so On)J d) plan Index (e.g. title of new product or new technology being Introduced or mastered, title of a measure for scientific organization of work>;. e) measuring unit of a given Index (expressed 'lther In value or In kind-pieces, articles, tons or kilometers of produce, etc.>:
