Summary:

The Air Force's fiscal year 1993 budget request for spare parts for the C-17 military transport plane--totaling more than $179 million--is unneeded because (1) program cuts and schedule delays have significantly changed initial spare parts requirements, (2) the Douglas Aircraft Company already has enough spare parts on hand to fill orders for at least two years, and (3) other available funding for C-17 spare parts should cover any very long lead time spares needed before fiscal year 1994 funding is available. Further, the Air Force is canceling purchase orders for C-17 initial spare parts because of the change in program quantities and delayed production deliveries. It is also canceling funds for those purchases. These funds were part of the fiscal year 1990 aircraft procurement appropriation and may no longer be needed.
