Be sure to describe the deficiency in detail. Use photographs and sketches. (Include a ruler in the photograph.) If the deficiency has been corrected before   submittal, mark the SF 368, CORRECTIVE   ACTION   COMPLETED.   If the  deficiency  has  not  been  corrected,  mark  the SF  368  FOR  ACTION. SAFETY DEFICIENCIES All civil engineer support equipment (CESE), regardless  of  warranty  coverage,  developing design deficiencies affecting safe operation are to be  immediately  removed  from  service  and reported by message to CBC PORT HUENEME (CODE  153),  and  followed  up  with  a  SF  368. These units are not to be repaired or returned to service until directed by CBC PORT HUENEME (CODE  153). IN  CONTINENTAL  UNITED  STATES Activities  within  the  continental  United  States are  to  use  an  available  franchised  dealer  for repairs.   If  these  sources  prove  unsatisfactory, contact  the  cognizant  engineering  field  division (EFD)  (TEMC)  to  obtain  resolution. OUTSIDE  CONTINENTAL  UNITED STATES Activities outside the continental United States are  to  request  the  replacement  parts  directly  from the  prime  contractor.    An   SF   368   is   to   be submitted.  The  activity  is  not  to  forward  the defective  part. Further  information  may  be  found  in  the NAVFAC  P-300,  chapter  23. TECHNICAL  ASSISTANCE TEMC  representatives  visit  periodically  to analyze and assist the activity. These visits are specifically   designed   to   review   technical   and management  procedures  to  increase  the  efficiency and   effectiveness   of   the   activity.   The   TEMC representative  validates  the  equipment  allowance and  reviews  operations  and  maintenance  pro- cedures.  A  report  of  the  visit  and  its  findings, including items of major interest, is made to the commanding  officer  before  the  departure  of  the TEMC  representative. Transportation assistance visits are made at 18-month intervals for activities with 50 or more pieces  of  CESE.  Visits  are  scheduled  each  3  years for activities with less than 50 pieces of CESE. Additional   visits   are   optional   and   should   be requested if desired. CESE DISPOSAL As CESE becomes uneconomical to repair, or simply overage, it has to be disposed of properly. Whatever   the   instance,   a   Report   of   Excess Personnel  Property,  SF  120  (fig.  1-8),  is  to  be submitted  to  the  cognizant  TEMC. SERVICEABLE  EQUIPMENT When CESE is in excess but still serviceable, the TEMC will check and ascertain that no other Navy  requirements  exist  for  this  CESE.  If  no other requirements exist, the cogizant TEMC or Port Hueneme (Code 15) will instruct your activity to   place   the   CESE   in   the   nearest   Defense Recycling   Management   Office   (DRMO). UNSERVICEABLE  EQUIPMENT For  all  unserviceable  CESE,  contact  the cognizant  TEMC  for  disposal  instructions  and approval.   After   TEMC   approval,   turn   in   the CESE and its history jacket to the nearest DRMO, using a DD Form 1348-1 as a transfer document. Ambulances   and   dental   vehicles   have   special disposal  instructions  listed  in  Management  of Transportation   Equipment,   NAVFAC   P-300. INVENTORY  RECORDS  ADJUSTMENT Once   disposal   action   is   completed,   it   is important to adjust the records to reflect changes in   your   activity’s   CESE   inventory   allowance. Therefore, it is essential that your TEMC and Port Hueneme (Code 15) receive copies of the Report of Excess Personal Property, SF 120; the transfer document   Single   Line   Item   Release/Receipt Document,  DD-1348-1,  from  the  disposal  office; and  the  Property  Record  Card,  DD-1342.
