    In accordance with DoD Instruction 5410.17 (reference (cd)) each student attending a formal course in the United States under the Security Assistance and other related programs is given the opportunity to participate in the DoD Field Studies Program. The Field Studies Program objective is to provide a "real life" view of U.S. society, institutions, and goals, outside the classroom. The Field Studies Program should include discussion with the students about our Government structure, judicial system, the political party system, the role of a free press and other communications media, cultural issues associated with minorities, the purpose and scope of labor unions, our economic system, educational institutions, and the way in which all of these elements reflect the U.S. commitment to the basic principles of internationally recognized human rights. Implementing Agencies are responsible for Field Studies Program implementation. Cost factors for implementing the Field Studies Program are included in course tuition costs.

20. Update paragraph C10.11.1. to read as follows:

    C10.11.1. Field Studies Program. The Field Studies Program applies to students and military-sponsored visitors in the United States under the Security Assistance training program.

21. Update paragraph C10.11.2. to read as follows:

    C10.11.2. Scope of Funded Field Studies Program Activities. Implementing Agencies are responsible for reviewing all proposed Field Studies Program to ensure they are valid and meet the objectives of the Field Studies Program. Any questionable activities should be referred to DSCA (Programs and Strategy Directorates) for approval prior to implementation. Field Studies Program activities include transportation, meals, lodging, admissions, programs, and related incidental expenses. The student is required to pay for personal shopping and services such as laundry and telephone and other costs not directly associated with the programmed tour. Field Studies Program funds may be used to finance the cost of distinctive medallions, plaques, ornaments, or mementos, which serve to commemorate the student's experience in participating in a particular Field Studies Program activity.

22. Update paragraph C10.11.2.1. to read as follows:

    C10.11.2.1. Use of Local Civic Groups. Field Studies Program activities should involve local civic groups, organizations, agencies, facilities, and historical sites. The majority of Field Studies Program activities should take place in the civilian community so that students gain an understanding of the United States outside of their classroom experience.

23. Update paragraph C10.11.2.2. to read as follows:

    C10.11.2.2. Visits to Washington, DC. Under the Field Studies Program, officer students, DSCA-approved senior enlisted students, and DSCA-approved students enrolled in other specific courses are encouraged to visit Washington, DC. A maximum of four days plus travel time is authorized for this event. Washington, D.C. trips are limited to one per student.

25. Update paragraph C10.11.4. to read as follows:

    C10.11.4. Dependent Participation. Dependents who accompany students in the United States are allowed to participate in Field Studies Program activities, but at no additional cost to the program.

Extraordinary expenses are used to finance costs of commandant's welcome, receptions, banquets for civilian and military sponsors, class or seminar dine-ins, faculty-student luncheons, graduations, and similar activities which bridge cultural differences and enhance the relationship between school officials, local community supporting participants, and the international students. These are budget project N60 expenses incident to representational activities for students under the IMET program and are limited by FAA, section 636(g) (reference (b)) and related appropriation acts. N60 funds may be used only for IMET-funded students. However, joint activities with FMS or non-IMET funded students are often cost effective. In those cases, IMET N60 (including IMET Field Studies Program) costs are pro-rated on the basis of the respective numbers of IMET and FMS or non-IMET funded students. N60 funds may also be used in connection with Field Studies Program orientation tours.

27. Update paragraph C11.5.2.2. to remove the reference to the "EDA Grant Eligible (FY05)" column to read as follows:

    C11.5.2.2. Eligibility for EDA Grants. To receive grant EDA, a country must be justified to Congress. Grant EDA eligibility is justified to Congress via the annual Congressional Budget Justification (CBJ) for Foreign Operations or by a separate DSCA letter to Congress for the fiscal year in which the transfer is proposed. The DSCA letter is used only in exceptional circumstances with DoS concurrence. Eligibility does not guarantee that all EDA offers are made on a grant basis - each EDA transfer is considered on a case-by-case basis.

28. Update AECA, Section 4 reference in Table C11.T7. with language from Public Law 107-228.

29. Update C11.10.5.5.2 to reflect the waiver authority delegation from Secretary of Defense to Director, DSCA as follows:

    C11.10.5.5.2. The President may waive reimbursement of depreciation for any defense article(s) that has passed three-quarters of its normal service life if he or she determines that to do so is important to the national security interests of the United States. This waiver authority has been delegated to the Director, DSCA in accordance with the provisions of DoD Directive 5105.65 (reference (a)). When requesting this waiver, the Implementing Agency must include the following information: a certification letter that the items are beyond three-quarters (75 percent) of their service life, a spreadsheet showing how replacement costs were calculated, a spreadsheet showing what the depreciation charges would normally be; if applicable, a spreadsheet showing how partial depreciation charges were calculated, and a copy of any prior or related waivers previously granted.

Humanitarian construction projects are generally limited to $500,000. Proposed projects costing more than $500,000 require special justification and review by DSCA and DoD Policy.
