A claim may be asserted in writing for loss of or damage to government property, against a tort-feasor when:

(2)Less than \$100 but collection is practicable and economical.
(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.
(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 G of this part).
(f)The claim is based on product liability. AFLOA/JACC approval must be obtained before asserting the claim. \[55 FR 2809, Jan. 29, 1990. Redesignated and amended at 81 FR 83696, Nov. 22, 2016\]
