Specific DF AS and DSCA organizational roles and responsibilities for the calculation, administration, and management of TL reserves follow:

DSCA -Deputy Director for Financial Policy & Support (DSCA/FPS).

1. DSCA/FPS is responsible for calculating, staffing and coordinating TL reserve amounts; advising DFAS/ADY of TL amounts to be reserved and any adjustments thereto; as well as, reporting and policy support for TL requirements. DSCA/FPS serves as the single, central point of contact for the calculation, administrative control, tracking, and reporting of TL reserves.
2. DSCA/FPS computes TL reserve requirements for all FMS customer programs on a quarterly basis in accordance with DoD FMR, Volume 15, 7000.14-R. Reserve requirements for TL are computed using the two methodologies identified in Reference (c) above. Upon calculation of the quarterly TL reserve amounts, DSCA/FPS forwards the computed amounts to DSCA/CFM for review and formal written approval by the DSCA/DBO.
3. Once the TL reserve amounts are approved, DSCA/FPS sends an e-mail notification to DF AS/ ADY advising of the TL financial requirement amounts to be reserved in each FMS customer's TL account with an information copy to DSCA/CFM. An electronic copy of the DSCA/DBO approval memorandum is enclosed with the quarterly TL e-mail notification. The DSCA/FPS notification also advises DF AS/ ADY to notify DSCA/FPS and DSCA/CFM if sufficient customer funds are not available to reserve the amount of TL identified. DSCA/CFM recommends appropriate follow-on actions to the DSCA/DBO. Once approved, DSCA/FPS advises DF AS/ ADY accordingly with an information copy to DSCA/CFM.
4. All requests to transfer TL reserves between an FMS customer's FRB TL account and the customer's FMS Trust Fund TL account 1003 are staffed through DSCA/CFM with notification to DSCA/FPS. Similarly, all requests to transfer an FMS customer's reserved TL to the customer's FMS Trust Fund Cash Available account 1001 are staffed through DSCA/CFM with notification to DSCA/FPS. DSCA/CFM reviews and provides recommendations to the DSCA/DBO. Once approved, DSCA/FPS is notified and advises DF AS/ ADY in writing to transfer the TL funds accordingly with an information copy to DSCA/CFM.
5. As stated above, DSCA/FPS calculates and updates TL reserve requirements on a quarterly basis. These TL reserve requirements are reflected on the monthly Health of Customer Program Report (HCPR). DSCA/FPS continues to provide the HCPR report to DSCA/CFM on a monthly basis. Modifications to the TL reserve requirements are not made during the quarter unless specifically approved on an exception basis by the DSCA/DBO via a written approval memorandum. Once approved, DSCA/FPS notifies DF AS/ ADY in writing of the adjustments to be made to the TL reserve amounts with an information copy to DSCA/CFM. An electronic copy of the TL approval memorandum signed by the DSCA/DBO is included with all TL adjustment notifications to DF AS/ ADY.

DSCA -Deputy Director for Country Financial Management (DSCA/CFM).

1. DSCA/CFM is responsible for the overall financial management of TL reserve requirements. DSCA/CFM receives and reviews DSCA/FPS quarterly TL reserve computations. The lower of the two DSCA/FPS TL computed amounts are used except when a legitimate basis may exist for deviating from the computed TL amounts. Amounts reserved for TL are approved by the DSCA/DBO via written memorandum. Upon written approval, DSCA/CFM forwards an electronic copy of the signed approval memorandum to DSCA/FPS.
2. DSCA/CFM staffs all requests to transfer TL reserves between an FMS customer's FRB TL account and the customer's FMS Trust Fund TL account 1003. Likewise, all requests to transfer an FMS customer's reserved TL to the customer's FMS Trust Fund Cash Available account 1001 are staffed through DSCA/CFM. Once approved, DSCA/CFM provides written notification to DSCA/FPS of the approved requests to transfer TL amounts.

DFAS -Denver Director for Security Assistance Accounting (DFAS/ADY).

1. DFAS/ADY is responsible for maintaining official TL accounting records. DFAS/ ADY receives the TL reserve amounts from DSCA/FPS, with the DSCA approval memorandum and records the amounts in the TL accounts, in accordance with DSCA/FPS direction. DF AS/ ADY notifies DSCA/FPS and DSCA/CFM in writing once the TL records have been updated as requested. However, if sufficient customer funds are not available to reserve the TL amounts as requested by DSCA/FPS, DFAS/ADY immediately notifies DSCA/FPS and DSCA/CFM and awaits further guidance from DSCA/FPS.
2. Likewise, DFAS/ADY receives from DSCA/FPS TL amounts to be transferred either between an FMS customer's FRB and Trust Fund TL accounts or to a customer's FMS Trust Fund Cash Available account 1001. Upon receipt, DFAS/ADY records the amounts in the FMS customer's accounts in accordance with DSCA/FPS direction. DFAS/ADY advises DSCA/FPS and DSCA/CFM in writing when the transfers have been completed.
3. DFAS/ADY ensures TL reserved balances are maintained in accordance with DSCA/FPS direction and are not available for expenditure authorization (EA) nor disbursement.
