It depends on the aircraft. If you have suitable navigation equipment (GPS/FMS) with the required accuracy and a current database in the FMS with the particular SID, then you do not need to monitor the navaids. On the other hand, if you actually need the navaid source to fly the SID, then you need to tune, identify, and monitor. I can't quote you chapter and verse right now, but it is a requirement.
