  1. The Lead Nation in FMS Case [XX-X-XXX] has requested and received approval from the U.S. Department of State (State) at PM_RSAT-TPT@state.gov for a blanket Third Party Transfer (TPT) among the designated Participating Nations. The Lead Nation is permitted to participate in this blanket TPT only if the Lead Nation is also procuring articles for its own national use on FMS Case [XX-X-XXX]. If the Lead Nation is not procuring on this case for its own national use, the Participating Nations will be the sole participants eligible to take part.

As stated above, the Lead Nation may only be included in this specific blanket TPT if it is actively procuring on this FMS case for its own national use.
