FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

Infrastructure appropriation. In order to protect future recoupment
rights, precautionary prefinancing statement will be issued for projects
that may become eligible for NATO funding at a later time. DoD
policy requires that prefinancing be held to an absolute minimum and
that it be submitted for thorough screening by NATO authorities,
negotiated with the host country, and approved through the U.S. chain
of command. The Chief of Naval Operations serves as the focal point
for establishing and interpreting Department of the Navy policy with
respect to prefinancing of infrastructure projects, coordinating any
changes in such policies with the Comptroller. In view of the fact that
recoupments, even if achieved, are not credited to Navy
appropriations, it is unlikely that prefinancing with Navy funds will be
approved at the headquarters level.
b. Operation and Maintenance. The Chief of Naval Operations has
assigned responsibilities for participation of the U.S. Navy in the NATO
infrastructure program to the Commander, Atlantic Fleet
(COMLANTFLT) and the Commander, U.S. Naval Forces, Europe
(COMUSNAVEUR). COMUSNAVEUR is responsible for base services
such as cargo port handling and local delivery cartage for mobile units
associated with NATO infrastructure cost sharing in the continental
European area. COMLANTFLT has similar responsibility for all other
NATO areas. For their respective areas of concern, they budget, fund, and
administer within their operating budgets, all U.S. Navy operation and
maintenance costs of the NATO infrastructure. The amount for which the
U.S. Navy is responsible in connection with each common infrastructure
facility of which it is a user depends upon agreements reached by the
United States and the host nation for each facility.
4. SOURCE DOCUMENTS. Additional information related to the subject
covered by this paragraph, particularly with respect to the financing of
construction of NATO infrastructure projects, is contained in par. 074727 and
the current issuance of OPNAVINST 4000.35.
