32 C.F.R. § 756.8 Denial.
Title 32 - National Defense
Claims resulting from nonappropriated-fund activities may be denied only by the appropriate naval adjudicating authority. Such a denial is necessary to begin the 6-month limitation on filing suit against the United States for claims filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Denial of a claim shall be in writing and in accordance with subparts A or B of part 750 of this chapter, as appropriate. The appropriate naval adjudicating authority should not deny claims which have initially been processed and negotiated by a nonappropriated-fund activity, its insurer or TPA until the activity or its insurer has clearly stated in writing that it does not intend to pay the claim and has elected to defend in court.
