financial liability for negligent lost/stolen/destroyed small arms.

each specifically designed to render a weapon inaccessible and unusable to unauthorized persons.
Lockable barriers meeting this description may be either manual or electronic.
b. DLA OIG investigations may be initiated when small arms are improperly disposed of or
becomes lost, stolen or otherwise destroyed while maintained in the program inventory. Law
Enforcement Agencies may be required to reimburse DLA the fair market value of the small arm when

Property Loss (FLIPL) investigation. Reimbursement will be within sixty (60) days of the completion of
the FLIPL investigation.
(1) Title will nevertransfer to the recipient regardless of the status of the small arm.
(2) Payments due to DLA Disposition Services, based upon the findings of the FLIPL investigation,
may be paid by one of the following three methods:
