2408-5, and 5587.
•
Updates most examples of completed forms.
•
Adds guidance to administratively deadlined
equipment when past-due services exceed the
10-percent variance.
•
Synchronizes the 10-percent variance for
automated and manual procedures.
•
Revises low-usage criteria.
•
Moves AOAP sampling intervals and
instructions to TB 43-0211.
•
Updates procedures for reporting QDRs.
