Narrative:
There are notices taped to the walls of the ZZZ terminal maintenance office instructing mechanics to stamp the tally sheets for accomplishments and/or deferrals. This seems to suggest after stamping the tally sheets the mechanics hand off the bill of work for release. Gpm xx-yy states 'the individual responsible to release the aircraft is also responsible for verification of the completion of all related accountabilities.' this is true for system and non-system airplanes. The gpm continues; '...review must be accomplished by an ara qualified individual and all included accountabilities stamped...' I interpret the passage meaning that an ara is required to stamp the tally sheets. If I'm correct the instructions hung at the ZZZ shop are incorrect...a mechanic can't simply stamp accomplishments in the tally sheets unless they have aras.
