INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING FUNDS AVAILABILITY
1. Add sections C10.6.15. - C10.6.15.1.1. Renumber following sections as needed.
C10.6.15. International Military Education and Training Funds Availability
C10.6.15.1. Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act. The Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act (SFOAA) includes a recurring provision stating that funds appropriated for the purposes of chapter 5 of part II of the FAA which includes the authority for IMET under section 541 of the Act, "shall remain available for an additional four years from the date on which the availability of such funds would otherwise have expired, if such funds are initially obligated before the expiration of their respective periods of availability contained in this Act." IMET funds are apportioned directly to the DoD for implementation, consistent with past practice. Therefore, so long as DoD obligates the funds during their initial period of availability, the funds remain legally available for an additional four years. Although this additional period of availability is legally available, it is the responsibility of State to re-program funds as consistent with this legal authority.
C10.6.15.1.1. Although this provision has consistently been included in previous annual appropriations acts, future State appropriations acts may not include such an authority. Therefore, DSCA (Office of Business Operations, Comptroller Directorate, Security Assistance Division (OBO/CMP/SA)) will provide confirmation on an annual basis that such a provision is included in recently enacted SFOAAs.
