Section C—Technical Provisions. 

Currently Section C–2a–PRE MOVE 

SURVEY, of the NTS Tender of Service 

reads as follows: 

(1) I agree to perform a pre-move 

survey on non-temporary storage lots 

estimated at 3,000 pounds or more, at 

origin points within a 50-mile radius of 

the warehouse facility designated for 

storage. I understand this requirement 

will apply to only those lots on which 

I am provided a minimum of 5 working 

days advance notice of the pickup date 

requirement. 

(2) I agree that if a telephone number 

is provided five (5) days in advance of 

pickup, I will make a telephone contact 

pre-move survey for non-temporary 

storage lots of lesser weights than 

indicated above, or for lots with origin 

points exceeding 50 miles of the 

warehouse facility designated for 

storage. 

The following paragraph (3) will be 

added to C–2a of the NTS Tender of 

Service—PRE MOVE SURVEY. 

(3) Whenever a pre-move survey is 

conducted and firearm(s) are to be 

stored, the TSP will inform the service 

member that the use of trigger locks will 

assist as a safety and security measure. 

The use of locks is not mandatory. 

Under paragraph C–3m FIREARMS in 

the NTS TOS, sub paragraphs (1) and (2) 

will be added to paragraph C–3m. Sub 

paragraphs (1) and (2) are listed 

respectively. 

(1) As a means of verifying that the 

firearm(s) were placed into storage in 

accordance with the TOS and DTR Part 

IV, a company official shall verify that 

the firearm(s) were received at a 

warehouse and placed into storage. The 

official shall submit written certification 

to the local ITO listing the firearm(s) by 

make, model, serial number, and caliber 

or gauge within 72 hours of shipment 

arriving at the warehouse indicating 

that the firearm(s) were received at the 

warehouse and placed into storage. A 

copy of this certification shall be placed 

in member’s folder. 

(2) Upon noticing a missing 

firearm(s), the NTS–TSP shall 

immediately notify the Regional Storage 

Management Office (RSMO) of the 

occurrence in accordance with C–7(d). 

NTS–TSPs may be placed in an 

ineligible status by the Regional 

Program Management Office for each 

incident. If there are repeated 

occurrences of this nature, this may be 

cause for permanent disqualification 

from the NTS program. 

Costs: Upon implementation of this 

change no additional cost will affect the 

NTS Transportation Service Provider 

(TSP).
