REFERENCE :

DSCA Memorandum dated February 23, 2011, Subject: Funds Expiration and Availability, Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Continuing Appropriations Authority for Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF), Coalition Readiness Support Program (CRSP), and Section 1206 Global Train and Equip Program, DSCA Policy 11-12

Program Code "H4" is assigned to track FY12 Section 1206 Programs authorized under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163), as amended. All H4 Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) documents should be expended, as well as fully reconciled and closed, on or before July 31, 2017.

Table C4.T2, Country and International Organization Codes and FMS Eligibility, in the automated version of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) found on the DSCA Web Page, is updated as follows:

Organization	FMS Code	Combatant Command \1	Regional Grouping \2	FMS/AECA Eligible \3	Accel. Case Closure Eligible
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163), as amended, Section 1206 for FY12	H4	NR	NR	AECA Only	No

Appropriations to fund FY12 Section 1206 programs will expire for new obligations in accordance with the terms of the appropriation law and in no case later than September 30, 2012. Continuing Resolution (CR) authorities, such as the Continuing Appropriations Act (CAA) for FY12 (CAA P.L. 112-36), may expire for new obligation before September 30, 2012. The currently available appropriation authority must be cited in the H4 LOA Fund Source, Availability, and Amount note. If this authority is superseded with subsequent legislation, the Fund Source, Availability, and Amount note on any LOA that has not been Offered will cite the new public law. All cases implemented using FY12 funds will need to cite the final appropriation authority public law prior to Closure.

Instructions and notes for preparation of H4 LOAs are attached to this memorandum. Program information using CAA P.L. 112-36 is provided as follows:

Pgm	Code	Program Authority	Purpose	Fund Source	Appn Authority	Expiration	Cancel FY

Even though funds from a CR authority may expire before the end of FY12, Implementing Agencies will specify the full period of performance for severable services on H4 LOA documents, consistent with period of performance guidance provided in paragraph four of Referenced DSCA Policy Memo.

If you have any questions concerning this guidance, please contact Ms. Marie Kokotajlo, DSCA-STR/POL, marie.kokotajlo@dsca.mil, (703) 604-1107.
