the command requesting setoff action and request a GAO review.

if it is determined the setoff action was appropriate, will do an 
administrative report and notify the carrier when this has been 
accomplished.
    (3) The administrative report and complete claims file will be 
forwarded to the NLSC activity serving the geographic location for 
review prior to forwarding to GAO.
    (4) The complete claims package, including all correspondence with 
the carrier, will then be forwarded to GAO.
    (c) The administrative report and enclosures must support the setoff 
action.

manual published by the Claims Group General Government Division, U.S. 
General Accounting Office entitled Procedures of the U.S. General 
Accounting Office for Household Goods Loss and Damage Claims. Other
