Weinberger The Secretary of Defense Attention: Director, GAO Affairs 117256 Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: LNavy's Budget Requests for Revised Shipboard Allow- ances Are Overstate (PLRD-82-31) - We have completed our survey of the economy and effective- mess of the Navy's planned revision of its shipboard stockage criteria. The basis for the change was a study by the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) completed in July 1980. We were advised of the planned revision in a March 1981 letter in which the Navy commented on our report concerning supply support for comba Esur- face ships. I/ The Navy estimated that the revised criteria would result in additional items being stocked that would require increased budget requests of over $200 million. According to the Navy, it planned to implement the new criteria in fiscal year 1983. Although the study was completed in July 1980, it had not been released as of November 20, 1981. Navy personnel advised us that, until the study results are released, the Navy has not officially revised its stockage criteria. While the Navy has not officially adopted the new stockage criteria, it has submitted funding requests to implement this change. Our survey work indi- cated that the Navy's request for Operation and Maintenance Navy (O&MN) funding to implement the revised criteria is significantly overstated because the Navy did not consider inventories of items already on the ships. 1/Supply Support Costs of Combat Ships Can Be Reduced By Mil- lions and Readiness Enhanced (LCD-8l-9, Jan. 15, 1981).
