Section II. ONE-TIME REPAIR EXPENDITURE LIMITS

TB 43-0002-23

Section I. GENERAL

1. Purpose. This bulletin implements the policies established by AR 750-1. It provides one-time repair expenditure limits,

guidance for technical inspection, and disposition instructions.

2. Scope. This bulletin applies to U.S. Army organizations, installations, activities and the Reserve components worldwide

that use the equipment listed in the appendixes of this bulletin. This bulletin is not applicable to Army depots with an

assigned overhaul mission.

Section II. ONE-TIME REPAIR EXPENDITURE LIMITS

3. Procedures.

a. One-time repair expenditure limits are applicable each time an item becomes unserviceable. The one-time repair

expenditure limit is expressed as a percentage of the total repair cost estimate to the total cost of the end item. End

item standard price is listed in Management Data List (ML) of DA Supply Catalogs or SB 700-20.

b. The procedure for determining the repair expenditure limit for an item is as follows:

(1) Identify the item by NSN, make, model, serial number and year of manufacture. This data may be

obtained from either the equipment data plate or the equipment log book.

(2) Obtain the standard price of the item from the Army Master Data File (AMDF).

(3) Locate item in the appendix that contains the FSC class to which item is assigned.

(4) Determine the percentage factor, columns 7 through 11, that is applicable for the year that repair or

overhaul is required.

(5) Multiply the end item standard price by the percentage factor (from step (4) above) to determine the one

time allowable expenditure costs.

4. Expenditure Limits.

a. One-time repair expenditure limits are shown in appendixes as indicated below:

(l) FSC 4510 Appendix A (Portable Shower Heads)

(2) FSC 4520 Appendix B (Space Heatiing Equipment and Domestic Water Heaters)

(3) FSC 4540 Appendix C (Immersion Heaters)

b. Required repairs will not be broken into separate job estimates for the purpose of circumventing prescribed repair

expenditure limits.

c. However, if end items are equipped with Military Standard Engines and/or Military Standard Generators, the following

Procedure will be applicable:

(1) Deduct the current price of the Military Standard Engine and /or Military Standard Generator from the standard

price of the complete end item. The result will be considered the standard price of the end item.

(2) Separate one-time repair limitations for the Military Standard Engine and/or Military Standard Generator will be

determined by the applicable TB for one-time repair expenditure limits. This will be the exception to breaking required

repairs into separate job estimates.

d. The expenditure limit is not to exceed 65% of the standard price for bulk components, assemblies and repairable

parts applicable to the end items that have remaining repair eligibility cited in this bulletin. These bulk components,

assemblies and repairable parts are those items to be repaired and returned to the inventory in support of the direct

exchange program and the Maintenance Support Positive (MS+) program.

Section III. TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS

5. Procedure. Equipment requiring repair or overhaul will be inspected in accordance with instructions contained in Chapter

1, Section I, of AR-750-1, DA PAM 738-750 and the applicable equipment technical manuals.

6. Forms. The following list of forms will be used when applicable:

DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) will be used to record results of technical

inspections. Refer to DA PAM 738-750 for instructions for preparation and use of the form.

DA Form 3590 (Request for Disposition or Waiver) will be prepared for items that are evacuated for depot

maintenance or reported to the NICP as unserviceable excess. Refer to TB43-0140 for instructions for preparation

and use of the form.

Section IV. COMPUTATION OF REPAIR COST ESTIMATES

7. Cost Factors. Computation of repair cost estimates will be made in accordance with instructions contained in Section I,

Chapter 4 of AR 750-1.

8. Procedures. Technical inspection findings will be converted to repair cost estimates by use of instructions contained in

Section II of this bulletin and Section I, Chapter 4 of AR 750-1. Exclusions to the estimates of cost to repair are listed in

paragraph 4-19b, AR 750-1.
