Sec. 842.94  Assertable claims.

    A claim may be asserted in writing for loss of or damage to 
government property, against a tort-feasor when:
    (a) Damage results from negligence and the claim is for:
    (1) More than $100.
    (2) Less than $100 but collection costs are small.
    (b) The claim is based on a contract and the contracting officer 
does not intend to assert a claim under the contract. The contracting 
officer's intention not to assert a claim should be recorded in a 
memorandum for the record and placed in the claim file.
    (c) The claim is for property damage arising from the same incident 
as a hospital recovery claim. (The two claims should be consolidated and 
processed under subpart N).
    (d) The Tort-feasor or his insurer presents a claim against the 
government arising from the same incident. (Both claims should be 
processed together.)
    (e) The claim is assertable as a counterclaim under an international 
agreement. (The claim should be processed under subpart H).
    (f) The claim is based on product liability. HQ USAF/JACC approval 
must be obtained before asserting the claim.
