DSCA Policy Memo 19-07 Case Description Field in an Amendment or Modification Document to a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) has been posted.

The current policy mandates that detailed information regarding the changes in an Amendment or Modification to an LOA be included in the case description field. Strict interpretation of the policy has led to Implementing Agencies including a statement for each individual case line that had a change in the document. The requirement for the case description field will now be:

1. The identification of the major program involved
2. A summary of the change(s) that are included in the document
3. The reason(s) for the change(s)
4. Identification of previous unaccepted amendments, if any
5. Indication that it is a restated document (if applicable)

This memo updates Row 2 in Table C6.T9. Instructions for Preparing an Amendment or Modification.
