DSCA Memorandum, February 15, 2007, Subject: Guidance for Development of FY07 Section 1206 Memoranda of Requirements (MORs) and Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs)

The referenced memorandum contains procedural guidance for documents pertaining to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 section 1206 program. This memorandum augments the referenced guidance regarding preparation of FY 2007 section 1206 Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) under the authority of PL 109-364. Effective immediately, SAMM Table C4.T2., Country and International Organization Codes and FMS Eligibility, is updated to add code "B5" to track funds provided under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (PL 109-364), section 1206. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency must authorize use of this code for pseudo LOA documents. The following information applies:

Organization	FMS Code	Combatant Command \1	Regional Grouping \2	FMS/AECA Eligible \3	Term of Sale - Dependable Undertaking Authorized	Accel. Case Closure Eligible
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (PL 109-364), Section 1206	B5	NR	NR	No	No	N/A

This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change 73.

Procedures for pseudo LOAs authorized and funded pursuant to section 1206 of PL 109-364 are similar to those followed for the section 1206 program in FY 2006 under PL 109-163; however, certain references to the Arms Export Control Act have been revised. Attached are specific LOA notes and instructions for these pseudo LOAs. These case preparation instructions are for section 1206 programs funded with appropriations available to the Department of Defense for obligation in FY 2007.

If you have any questions concerning the attached guidance for preparing section 1206 pseudo LOAs, please contact Ms. Kathy Robinson, STR/POL, kathy.robinson@dsca.mil, (703) 601-4368.
