Sec. 756.8  Denial.

    Claims resulting from nonappropriated-fund activities may be denied 
only by the appropriate naval adjudicating authority. Such a denial is

United States for claims filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Denial 
of a claim shall be in writing and in accordance with subparts A or B of

or TPA until the activity or its insurer has clearly stated in writing 
that it does not intend to pay the
