<body>
<p>This rule identifies the proper address and notification method for an entity making a request for indemnification or defense, or providing notice to DoD, of a third-party claim under section 330 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1993, as amended, or under section 1502(e) of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2001. It&nbsp;also identifies the documentation required to demonstrate proof of any claim, loss, or damage for indemnification or defense or for providing notice to DoD of a third-party claim. This allows for timely review and greater efficiency in screening requests for indemnification or defense by providing clarity to requesters.</p>
