Dear Sir:

     We have completed a survey of the cost  accounting and production
reporting system at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (hereinafter  re-
ferred to as the Shipyard).  The primary objectives of this  survey
were to determine whether Department of Defense Instruction  (DODI)
7220.29 conforms in all material respects with  applicable accouning
principles and standards of Title 2 of the General Accounting Office
Policy and Procedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies,  and
to obtain knowledge of the practical difficulties that may  be involved
in fully implementing DODI 7220.29.

     During our survey, completed  at the shipyard in April 1970,
we interviewed and had discussions with officials  in the Comptroller,
Data Processing, Industrial Management, Planning, Production,  and
Supply Departments of the Shipyard.   We reviewed pertinent accouning
records and reports prepared on  depot maintenance costs and production
quantities; also pertinent Navy  and Shipyard regulations, directives,
and instructions.  During the course of  our survey we worked closely
with Shipyard personnel  and, as the survey progressed, discussed the
results with them.

     Although DODI 7220.29 was  issued on 10/28/68, the Shipyard did
not receive a copy of this  instruction until 2/24/70.  Accordingly,
DODI 7220.29 has not yet  been implemented. However,  the Shipyard is
currently evaluating changes  that will be needed in the present
Shipyard accounting  and reporting system to conform to DODI 7220.29.

     Based on our  survey, we have concluded that the Shipyard's current
cost accounting  and reporting system contains or is capable of producing
a substantial  amount of data required in the report prescribed by
DODI 7220.29.  However,  additional information needs to be developed
to meet the  requirements of DODI 7220.29.  These matters are commented
on below.

     1.  Military  direct labor cost and related hours are required
to be  reported.  Currently the Shipyard does not have such cost and
related hours  in its                  a  processing systems.  Our
