DISTRIBUTION OF THE TDR FOR CLAIM ACTION
1.
Distribution Guidelines. This enclosure and Table 1 furnish instructions and requirements for
distribution of the original TDR package for claim action when the carrier is responsible for in-
transit loss or damage.
2.
Distribution When U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center (FINCEN) is the OFA. When the
TO/TM finds the carrier responsible for loss or damage and Coast Guard funds are cited for
transportation on the B/L, the TO/TM sends the original TDR, documented as required by
Chapter 4, to CO (OGC), U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center, 1430A Kristina Way, Chesapeake,
VA 23326. FINCEN may also be the OFA if Coast Guard funds are not charged for
transportation on the B/L. Before submission to the OFA, cite the appropriation or fund to be
credited for repair costs.
3.
Distribution When FINCEN is not the OFA. Generally, the OFA is the same office as the
disbursing office shown in the "Charges To Be Billed To" block of the B/L. Transportation
funds of the service that funded the shipment are shown in the "Appropriation Chargeable"
block of the government B/L. The TO/TM documents the TDR in accordance with Enclosure
4 and sends the original TDR to the appropriate OFA.

General Services Administration (GSA) Shipments. When the GBL cites GSA (47)
funds, send the original TDR package to the GSA National Customer Service Center
