Why it matters

Excess Defense Articles can be described by acquisition value or marginal taxpayer cost, and the distinction affects whether any figure belongs in a transfer total.

Current web-edition status

The publication leaves EDA as a marginal or pending item instead of forcing a misleading value into the annual military lane.

Status: Open

Raised in: Section 5

Record required to resolve it

A primary cost treatment record showing the marginal taxpayer cost basis for EDA transfers.
