"Risk Assessed Payment Schedules (RAPS) are authorized under Section 22 of the Arms Export Control Act. The RAPS on this Letter of Offer and Acceptance was calculated and approved by DSCA's Country Financial Management (CFM) division. The initial deposit, or due with amendment acceptance amount, is front loaded to include the highest projected termination liability amount, and the payment schedule requires payments one year in advance of expected financial requirements, in order to mitigate risk to the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government reserves the right to bill for additional amounts if, during the execution phase, actual costs materialize at a rate that cannot be supported by the LOA's stated payment schedule. CFM must be notified and provide written approval prior to any payment schedule adjustments via a LOA modification or amendment. Any questions or concerns regarding RAPS should be addressed to CFM."
