2. Procedures.

Each depot that stores FSC 6135 Dry Batteries in 35 degree storage will alert

required, the Item Manager will issue a Materiel Release Order for the appropriate

sample amount to be shipped to: USACECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-PA-EQ-B, BLDG 292,

Ft. Monmouth, NJ 07703. Disposition will be issued by CECOM based on the results
