SUBJECT :

Enhanced End-Use Monitoring Procedures for Enhanced Case-Unique Articles, Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Policy 19-14 [SAMM E-Change 414]

This memorandum updates Enhanced End-Use Monitoring (EEUM) procedures described in Chapter 8 of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM). Currently, there is no way to identify or track EEUM defense articles considered "Case-Unique." Enhanced Case-Unique articles are items not generally treated as EEUM but are designated as EEUM for specific Foreign Military Sales (FMS) exports.

To minimize the risk of unauthorized transfer and increase accountability for identifying exports of items that have been designated to require EEUM, DSCA is implementing a new mechanism for identifying and tracking Enhanced Case-Unique defense articles using the Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS). Effective January 31, 2020, Military Articles and Service Lists (MASLs) including a Routine end use monitoring designation may be updated to reflect Enhanced monitoring designation for specific FMS exports, when appropriate. Implementing Agencies (IA) should use these "Case-Unique" version of the MASL when developing Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs), for which case-unique enhanced monitoring will apply.

To ensure the IA has selected the MASL with the correct EUM designation, the DSAMS validation report will alert users when defense articles are identified on the LOA document that may have a case-unique designation. IAs should then validate they are using the correct MASL for that item, in accordance with End-Use Monitoring Responsibilities assigned in Chapter 8, Table C8.T2.

All LOAs, including basic cases, modifications, and amendments that are in development status on or after the policy effective date will follow the new policy. LOAs that are in development status prior to this date will process in DSAMS under the original policy unless returned to development status after the policy effective date.

The attached SAMM update, E-Change 414, and Enhanced Case Unique Articles Process Flow Chart formalizes this change. If you have any questions concerning this policy contact, Ms. Del Woods, DSCA EUM Program Manager, at 703-697-9382, or email: dauphine.e.woods@mail.mil

Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM), DSCA 19-14, E-Change 414

  1. Revise paragraph C8.4.1 as follows:

    C8.4.1. Definition. Enhanced End-Use Monitoring (EEUM), based on the principle of trust with verification, is required for defense articles or munitions controlled items designated for EEUM by the MILDEP's export policy, the inter-agency release process, or by the Department of Defense (DoD) policy as a result of consultation with Congress and/or the Department of State (DOS). EEUM requires physical security assessments of the storage facilities and serial number inventories of designated defense articles to verify compliance with the transfer conditions of the LOAs and other transfer agreements. All EEUM-designated defense articles are required to be sold on defined order lines using an EEUM-coded Military Articles and Services Listing (MASL) and are accompanied by specialized physical security and accountability notes. The defense articles listed in Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) Table C8.T4 below have been designated for EEUM for all FMS-eligible countries. Other defense articles may require EEUM and /or additional U.S. control measures (e.g. U.S. custody and/or electronic monitoring) on a case-by-case basis as determined in the transfer approval process.

  2. Replace paragraph C8.4.2.1. with the following:

    C8.4.2.1. Determining the MASL EUM code. DSCA Directorate for Security Assistance, Assistance and Monitoring Programs (DSA/AMP)), will coordinate with DSCA (Directorate of Business Operations (DBO)) and the respective Military Department (MILDEP) to determine the item's MASL End Use Monitoring (EUM) code. The MASL EUM code of an item designated as Enhanced for all FMS exports will be coded as "E". The MASL EUM code of an item designated for Routine EUM will be coded as "R". If it is determined in the transfer approval process that an item normally handled as Routine is required to be treated as Enhanced for a specific sale, the Implementing Agency will request a Case-Unique MASL coded "E" for use of the sale.

  3. Revise paragraph C8.4.2.2. as follows:

    C8.4.2.2. Developing LOA physical security and accountability EEUM Note. For the defense articles listed in the SAMM Table C8.T4 as EEUM, DSCA (DSA /AMP), in coordination with the MILDEPs / Implementing Agencies (IAs) (Headquarters and Program Offices), the Defense Technology Security Administration (International Security Programs), DSCA (Strategy, Plans, and Programs Directorate (SPP)), DSCA (DSA Weapons (WPNs)), and DSCA Office of the General Counsel (OGC)) will lead all staffing efforts to ensure that the MILDEPs/IAs develop the physical security and accountability (EEUM) notes. MILDEPs/IAs are responsible for providing DSCA SME support in drafting security, accountability, and USG control measures included on the LOA to ensure that the parameters levied in the EEUM-designation are met for all EEUM defense articles. EEUM Notes that are coordinated and approved by DSCA AMP for an Enhanced Case-Unique article will be used each time the same Enhanced Case-Unique article is included on a different LOA.

  4. Replace paragraph C8.4.2.3. with the following:

    C8.4.2.3. Publishing physical security and accountability EEUM notes for inclusion on the LOA. DSCA Standard EEUM and physical security an accountability notes (listed in Appendix 6 of the SAMM) will be included in the LOA by DSCA (DSA Case Writing Division (CWD)). Enhanced Case-Unique EEUM notes will be included in the LOA by the IA responsible for these articles.

  5. Revise paragraph C8.4.2.4. as follows:

    C8.4.2.4. Developing and validating EEUM checklists. DSCA (DSA AMP Division) will coordinate with the respective MILDEP/IA, as required, to develop and publish in the Security Cooperation Information Portal (SCIP) EUM database the inspection checklist for the weapons system or technology designated for EEUM. The relevant Security Cooperation Office (SCO) and DSCA (DSA AMP Division) will validate the draft inspection checklist during EEUM checks, and will provide the MILDEP/IA recommendations for improvement when required.
