C11.3.4. has been updated to align language related to storage charges with a mandatory case note, "Excess Defense Articles (EDA) - Storage Charges for Grant EDA". Revise with highlighted text to read:
C11.3.4. EDA Pricing. EDA items are priced in accordance with DoD Financial Management Regulations (FMR) 7000.14-R, Volume 15, Chapter 7. Section 706 of Public Law 106-280 (the Security Assistance Act of 2000) states that it is the sense of Congress that the President should make expanded use of the authority to sell EDA by using the flexibility to ascertain the market value of the EDA. USD(C) is responsible for approving pricing exceptions. Storage charges are not automatically applied to EDA transfers; however, reasonable charges will be assessed against items stored beyond 60 days past LOA acceptance. These charges must be stated in an LOA note. See Appendix 6 for the exact note wording.
