SUBJECT :

Assignment of Code "G9" for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund (PCCF), DSCA Policy 10-66 [SAMM E-Change 173]

This memorandum assigns the use of code "G9" to track FY2011 PCCF provided under the Continuing Appropriations Act (CAA) 2011, P.L. 111-242. Effective immediately, SAMM Table C4.T2., Country and International Organization Codes and FMS Eligibility, is updated to add code "G9" to track FY2011 PCCF provided under this authority. These funds will remain available for obligation until December 3, 2010. As a matter of policy, all Pseudo Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) documents using the "G9" code should be fully reconciled and closed on or before July 31, 2016.

Once the CAA expires and the FY2011 National Defense Appropriations Act is issued, this memorandum, to include the instructions for preparing "G9" cases and LOA notes, will be revised to cite the appropriate public law. All cases in any phase of the LOA process, development, writing, or review, will need to be restated and all implemented cases will need to be modified prior to case closure to replace references to CAA P.L. 111-242 with the FY2011 DoD appropriations public law.

Attached are specific instructions and notes for preparing PCCF LOAs under this authority. The following information applies and will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change 173:
