A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Government of the United States and the Government of Romania Regarding Reciprocal Government Quality Assurance Services was signed December 1, 2015, entered into force on December 1, 2015.

In addition, request Implementing Agencies take appropriate action to ensure all new FMS cases implemented on or after December 1, 2015 are priced to reflect the waiver of the QA surcharge.
