Attachment: Security Assistance Management Manual E-Change 643 
Administrative and Clarification Changes Memo

1. As U.S. Military bases change names, the SAMM will be updated accordingly.
2. DSCA/SPP/EPA is working with the various subject matter experts and DSCA Office of General Council to update/validate U.S.C., P.L., and other references cited in the SAMM for accuracy. Corrections to these citations will be treated as spot changes as needed.
3. The SAMM has been updated to use the term "end use" consistently instead of "end-use."

4. Delete C2.1.7.2.4. from the SAMM as the Handbook referenced is no longer published.

   C2.1.7.2.4. SCOs with IAC responsibilities should maintain and review the USD (A&S) International Armaments Cooperation Handbook. Chapter 10, Section 10.4 of the handbook addresses the role of the SCO in IAC.

5. Update Chapter 3 sections to correct references and clarify reference information per below:

   Current Wording:

   C3.3.3.4.2. United States Customs Clearance Requirements for Purchaser-Sponsored Shipments. The purchaser or its designated FMS freight forwarder must obtain customs clearances for FMS materiel exported from the United States. The purchaser's representative or freight forwarder prepares EEI using AES. EEIs must be filed with and authenticated by U.S. CBP at the primary port of exit. Laws and regulations concerning export declarations are found on the DDTC web page, AES Direct web site, and in 22 CFR 123.9, 22 CFR 123.22, 22 CFR 123.25, and 22 CFR 126.6. All exports of FMS materiel from the United States must be reported to the U.S. DOC, as required by current Federal statutes or regulations.

   C3.3.4.3. Temporary Import of Offshore Procurements. Materiel procured outside of the United States under USG and DoD procurement actions for the FMS program must be imported and exported under a DSP-61 if it passes through the United States en route to the purchasing country unless an exception under 22 CFR 123.4 applies. (There are additional exceptions for Canada and Mexico under 22 CFR 123.19 and 22 CFR 126.5.) The DSP-61, filed by the purchaser or its agent, is required whether the materiel is imported or exported intact, or is incorporated into another defense article that is subsequently exported to the purchasing country.

   C3.3.4.4. Temporary Import of Defense Articles for Repair. Articles temporarily imported into the United States for overhaul, repair, modification, calibration, etc., are subject to the DDTC license approval requirements listed in 22 CFR 123.1 unless the temporary import and subsequent re-export qualifies for an exemption pursuant to 22 CFR 123.4. When it is anticipated that FMS-origin unclassified articles will be returned to the United States for overhaul, repair, calibration, or modification, the import requirements should be included in the LOA for the original sale. For classified FMS-origin materiel the requirements should be included in the Transportation Plan, the LOA, or both. The FMS purchaser or its agent is responsible for filing documentation with the U.S. CBP upon entry of the FMS-origin materiel into the United States (on temporary import basis) for Repair and Return. The entry documentation must contain the statement:

   "This shipment is being imported in accordance with and under the authority of 22 CFR 123.4.(a)(subsection____)"

   A complete list and description of the defense articles being imported must be included. The description includes quantity and value in U.S. dollars. When the materiel is subsequently re-exported, the purchaser or its agent must submit EEI, using AES Direct, to CBP that identifies 22 CFR 123.4 as the authority for the export and provide, as requested by CBP, the entry document number or a copy of the CBP document under which the FMS-origin defense article was imported on a temporary basis for Repair and Return. This requirement applies to both FMS customer-arranged shipments and shipments made through the DTS. IAs preparing FMS LOAs for Repair and Return programs should include a LOA note indicating the requirement for the foreign country to report imports and exports made under the LOA to CBP. See Appendix 6 on LOA Notes.

   C3.3.5. Permanent Imports. The Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), regulates the permanent import of defense articles, as listed in the United States Munitions Import List (USMIL) (27 CFR 447), (based on the USML), pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and implementing federal regulations. Permanent imports of defense articles into the United States require an approved BATFE Form 6 in accordance with 27 CFR Part 447. See https://www.atf.gov for more information.

   C3.4.1. Many disclosures of classified information occur as a result of visual demonstrations or verbal exchanges during meetings or visits. DoD Directive (DoDD) 5230.20 contains standard procedures governing visits, assignments, and exchanges of foreign nationals to the DoD and to DoD contractor facilities over which the DoD Components have security responsibility. Approval of a classified visit by a Designated Disclosure Authority (DDA) is a disclosure decision and constitutes an exemption to the licensing requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) if the visit request or the response to the request fully documents the information to be "exported" (22 CFR 125.5 of the ITAR). With few exceptions, visits and assignments requiring access to classified material are processed through the DoD Foreign Visit System (FVS) of the DoD Security Policy Automation Network (SPAN). One exception is for visits by students under Security Assistance-sponsored training programs where the DD Form 2285, "Invitational Travel Orders (ITO)" provides the necessary security information. Visits are categorized as one-time, recurring, or extended.

   C3.5.1.2. Under FOIA Exemption 4 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)), commercial or financial information provided to the USG in confidence by a person (including an agency of a foreign government or a domestic or foreign business) may be exempt from disclosure to the public, if it is the type of information that is not released by the submitter; if disclosure is likely to cause substantial competitive harm to the submitter; if disclosure is likely to impair the ability of the USG to obtain necessary commercial or financial information in the future; or if disclosure will harm other legitimate USG interests. This exemption is intended to protect both the interests of commercial entities that submit proprietary information to the government and the interests of the government in receiving continued access to such data. Such information is to be marked "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)" in compliance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5200.48. If the DoD Component determines that it may be required to disclose commercial information obtained from a person, corporation, or foreign government, it should notify the submitter of the information in accordance with DoDM 5400.07, and Executive Order (EO) 12600.

   C3.5.4.2. Release of Technical Data. Releasability of technical data is considered in the same manner as other potentially sensitive parts of the program. In accordance with 22 CFR 124.2, the release of technical data is limited to the provision of training in basic operations and maintenance of defense articles lawfully exported. This specifically excludes the release of technical data for training in support of intermediate and depot level maintenance. Release in support of intermediate and depot level maintenance must be reviewed to ensure that the Technical Data Package (TDP) does not contain information that can be used for design, development, or production of an item. CUI may be exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and must be reviewed in foreign disclosure channels before release to foreign Governments or international organizations.

   Revised Wording:

   C3.3.3.4.2. United States Customs Clearance Requirements for Purchaser-Sponsored Shipments. The purchaser or its designated FMS freight forwarder must obtain customs clearances for FMS materiel exported from the United States. The purchaser's representative or freight forwarder prepares EEI using AES. EEIs must be filed with and authenticated by U.S. CBP at the primary port of exit. Laws and regulations concerning customs-related requirements for legally exporting USML items, including certain services and technical information are found on the found on the DDTC web page, AES Direct web site, and in 22 CFR 123.9, 22 CFR 123.22 , 22 CFR 123.25, and 22 CFR 126.6. All exports of FMS materiel from the United States must be reported to the U.S. DOC, as required by current Federal statutes or regulations.

   C3.3.4.3. Temporary Import of Offshore Procurements. Materiel procured outside of the United States under USG and DoD procurement actions for the FMS program must be imported and exported under a DSP-61 if it passes through the United States en route to the purchasing country unless an exception under 22 CFR 123.4 applies (22 CFR 123.4 exceptions do not apply to defense articles imported or exported from Canada that transit the United States). There are additional exceptions for Canada and Mexico under 22 CFR 123.19 and 22 CFR 126.5. The DSP-61, filed by the purchaser or its agent, is required whether the materiel is imported or exported intact, or is incorporated into another defense article that is subsequently exported to the purchasing country.

   C3.3.4.4. Temporary Import of Defense Articles for Repair. Articles temporarily imported into the United States for overhaul, repair, modification, calibration, etc., are subject to the DDTC license approval requirements listed in 22 CFR 123.1 unless the temporary import and subsequent re-export qualifies for an exemption located in 22 CFR 120 to 130, such as in 22 CFR 123.4, 22 CFR 123.19, 22 CFR 126.5 or 22 CFR 126.6. pursuant to 22 CFR 123.4. When it is anticipated that FMS-origin unclassified articles will be returned to the United States for overhaul, repair, calibration, or modification, the import requirements should be included in the LOA for the original sale. For classified FMS-origin materiel the requirements should be included in the Transportation Plan, the LOA, or both. The FMS purchaser or its agent is responsible for filing documentation with the U.S. CBP upon entry of the FMS-origin materiel into the United States (on temporary import basis) for Repair and Return. The entry documentation must contain the statement:

   "This shipment is being imported in accordance with and under the authority of 22 CFR 123.4.(a)(subsection____)"

   C3.3.4.4.1. A complete list and description of the defense articles being imported must be included. The description includes quantity and value in U.S. dollars. When the materiel is subsequently re-exported, the purchaser or its agent must submit EEI, using AES Direct, to CBP that identifies 22 CFR 123.4 as the authority for the export and provide, as requested by CBP, the entry document number or a copy of the CBP document under which the FMS-origin defense article was imported on a temporary basis for Repair and Return. This requirement applies to both FMS customer-arranged shipments and shipments made through the DTS. IAs preparing FMS LOAs for Repair and Return programs should include a LOA note indicating the requirement for the foreign country to report imports and exports made under the LOA to CBP. See Appendix 6 on LOA Notes.

   C3.3.5. Permanent Imports. The Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), regulates the permanent import of defense articles, as listed in the United States Munitions Import List (USMIL) (27 CFR 447), (based on the USML), pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and implementing federal regulations. Permanent imports of defense articles into the United States require a permit through an approved BATFE Form 6 in accordance with 27 CFR Part 447 , unless the import does not need a permit based on 27 CFR Part 447.41(c). See https://www.atf.gov for more information.

   C3.4.1. Many disclosures of classified information occur as a result of visual demonstrations or verbal exchanges during meetings or visits. DoD Directive (DoDD) 5230.20 contains standard procedures governing visits, assignments, and exchanges of foreign nationals to the DoD and to DoD contractor facilities over which the DoD Components have security responsibility.

Visits are categorized as one-time, recurring, or extended.

   C3.5.1.2. Under FOIA Exemption 4 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)), commercial or financial information provided to the USG in confidence by a person (including an agency of a foreign government or a domestic or foreign business) may be exempt from disclosure to the public, if the information obtained from a party is protected from disclosure by certain legal privileges or is "confidential" (i.e., the party normally treated the information as private and reasonably was assured that the government would not publicly disclose the information). This exemption is intended to protect both the interests of commercial entities that submit proprietary information to the government and the interests of the government in receiving continued access to such data. Such information is to be marked "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)" in compliance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5200.48. If the DoD Component determines that it may be required to disclose commercial information obtained from a person, corporation, or foreign government, it should notify the submitter of the information in accordance with DoDM 5400.07, and Executive Order (EO) 12600.

   C3.5.4.2. Release of Technical Data. Releasability of technical data is considered in the same manner as other potentially sensitive parts of the program. In accordance with 22 CFR 124.2, the release of ITAR controlled technical data is without the need of a "Technical Assistance Agreement" to be approved by Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) limited to the provision of training in basic operations and maintenance of defense articles lawfully exported. This specifically excludes the release of technical data for training in support of intermediate and depot level maintenance. Release in support of intermediate and depot level maintenance must be reviewed to ensure that the Technical Data Package (TDP) does not contain information that can be used for design, development, or production of an item. CUI may be exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and must be reviewed in foreign disclosure channels before release to foreign Governments or international organizations.

6. Update Chapter 4 to clarify points of contact:

   Current Wording:

   C4.4.18.2. Within 14 calendar days of receipt of an actionable LOR for LOA, or P&A that includes in-scope munitions, delivery systems, and/or components, the lead IA shall enter LOR Advisory data into the DSCA (IOPS/WPN) Targeting Infrastructure Management Portal (not publicly available) or submit the LOR Advisory to DSCA (IOPS/WPN) via Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRnet) email dsca.ncr.str.list.str-wpn-all-members@mail.mil. The information required for an LOR Advisory is detailed in Figure C5.F1b. An IA Advisory is not required for types/families of munitions/fuzes that have already been reviewed and approved during previous LOR advisories. Collateral Damage Estimation (CDE) and weaponeering requirements vary by munition, so partner requests must go through this process for each munition/fuze type or family not previously approved.

   C4.5.3. Anti-Personnel Landmines. All Security Cooperation Organization (SCO) and other DoD personnel to include Military Departments (MILDEPs) must get specific approval from DSCA (Office of Strategy, Plans, and Policy (SPP)) prior to any discussions on landmines with any potential purchaser.

As the materiel developer and proponent for its unique platforms, systems, and/or sub-systems, USSOCOM J5 is responsible for the initiation of all technology security and foreign disclosure actions related to the potential export. The IAs are responsible for providing official responses to LORs or Requests for Information (RFIs) for SO-P defense articles, services and/or training. The IA will coordinate with USSOCOM J5 when developing an LOA to define requirements, to confirm releasability, and to gain approval for the release of P&A of SO-P defense articles, services, and/or training. Close coordination between the IAs and USSOCOM on partners' requests for SO-P defense articles, training and/or services is essential.

   C5.1.3.4.3. If USSOCOM receives an LOR from a source other than the DSCA (IOPS/WPN) and determines that it includes SO-P defense articles, services and/or training, it must furnish a copy to the DSCA (IOPS/WPN) as quickly as possible, but no later than seven days from receipt of the LOR. DSCA will process the LOR internally and assign it to the appropriate IA for action.

   C5.1.3.4.4. USSOCOM must notify DSCA (IOPS/WPN) when contacted directly by partner nation governments or U.S. defense industry requesting information for SO-P defense articles, services, and/or training for transfers via FMS. This notification requirement is intended to ensure that DSCA is aware of any pre-LOR activities that might result in an LOA, so as not to delay coordination with the appropriate IA and to manage the expectations of partner nations regarding the status of their request. All pre-LOR discussions and RFI must be pre-coordinated with the applicable SCO, DSCA, and IAs, as applicable.

   Revised Wording:

15. Update C12.1.2.2. to clarify personnel restrictions per below:

    Current Wording:

    C12.1.2.2. Humanitarian Mine Action Program. The DoD HMA Program provides assistance to PN civilian populations plagued by landmines, explosive remnants of war (ERW), and the hazardous effects of UXO by developing indigenous PN capacity for humanitarian demining, land-based and underwater explosive ordnance disposal, and physical security and stockpile Management (PSSM) of conventional munitions. It is each PN's responsibility to accomplish necessary demining, dispose of ERW, and safely conduct munitions storage operations. Like other OHDACA-funded authorities, the HMA program is a military-civilian authority, even though HMA efforts typically involve engagement with a PN military or security force. Humanitarian demining assistance is defined in legislation as training and support in the detection and clearance of landmines, UXO, and other ERW. Stockpiled conventional munitions assistance is defined as training and support in the disposal, demilitarization, physical security, and stockpile management of potentially dangerous stockpiles of explosive ordnance, small arms, and light weapons, including man-portable air-defense systems. DoD conducts HMA engagements in the PN being assisted, and all DoD civilian personnel are prohibited from engaging in the physical detection, lifting, or destroying of landmines, UXOs, or other ERW while providing humanitarian demining assistance. DoD personnel may contact, move, or conduct limited stockpile destruction of explosives/munitions acquired for use only as necessary to provide stockpile management training for PN personnel or to enable the PN to meet safe, efficient, and effective stockpile management.
