Narrative:
On jun/sat/01, aircraft X arrived at ZZZ with a PIREP -- no computer on onboard as stated. I deferred the item 'with a lot of assistance from tech' as 'information noted computer is not available at ZZZ, deferred item, technician notified.' for follow-up, entered in sheet, 'circuit breakers pulled and collared.' as crew chief, I assigned 2 mechanics to return the logbook back to the aircraft and pull and collar the circuit breakers. This event occurred just before aircraft departure. With a lot of activity happening in the crew chief office, the 2 mechanics returned and notified me that they could not find the circuit breakers in question. They recalled me stating I would notify maintenance service. I believe this statement to be true. Due to all the activity happening and distrs, I forgot to follow up on the pulling and collaring of the circuit breakers. They also stated I missed entering the PIREP on the sheet. Due to the confusion, I may have missed entering the item on the sheet. The first time I was informed of this incident was on jun/mon/01 at XA30 by certified mail from the FAA.

THIS EVENT OCCURRED JUST BEFORE ACFT DEP. WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITY HAPPENING IN THE CREW CHIEF OFFICE, THE 2 MECHS RETURNED AND NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS IN QUESTION. THEY RECALLED ME STATING I WOULD NOTIFY MAINT SVC. I BELIEVE THIS STATEMENT TO BE TRUE. DUE TO ALL THE ACTIVITY HAPPENING AND DISTRS, I FORGOT TO FOLLOW UP ON THE PULLING AND COLLARING OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THEY ALSO STATED I MISSED ENTERING THE PIREP ON THE SHEET. DUE TO THE CONFUSION, I MAY HAVE MISSED ENTERING THE ITEM ON THE SHEET. THE FIRST TIME I WAS INFORMED OF THIS INCIDENT WAS ON JUN/MON/01 AT XA30 BY CERTIFIED MAIL FROM THE FAA.
