I don't know that Paul's suggested reading is what you are really looking for.

I assume your document is set up so that both the recommendation number and text are in different paragraphs but use the same style and this is what is causing the double entries in the TOC.

It is possible to remove the page numbers (and tab leaders) for a TOC level but you will need to use different styles for the two source styles.

I think you will need to post a sample doc showing how you want the content and TOC to appear - you haven't made that clear enough at the moment.
