MEMORANDUM FOR :
DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE SUBJECT : Updated Policy for Excess Defense Articles (EDA) Transfers on Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) Documents; DSCA Policy 10-17; [SAMM E-Change 133] REFERENCE :
This memorandum updates Chapters 5, 9, and 11 of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) on procedures for preparing EDA LOA documents. Referenced memorandum established temporary procedures for listing defense articles transferred by EDA grant authorities as line items on LOAs. These procedures were expected to cover an 18-month test period before being incorporated into the SAMM. This change was instituted to comply with U.S. Customs requirements and to provide Customs a standard means to identify and process EDA grant transfers in the same manner as EDA sales without introducing new forms or procedures. The change at TAB A updates the SAMM to reflect current policies and procedures. Grant EDA listed as line items improves management, reporting, and assists the MILDEPs in providing accurate data on EDA transfers. Finally, the addition of an LOA note for grant EDA items will ensure recipient military organizations are aware of, and comply with, terms and conditions for granted defense articles relating to end-use, retransfer, security, and return of net proceeds from sale or disposal. This guidance reflects current practice and is effective immediately. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact Mr. Michael Slack, DSCA/STR/POL, at (703) 601-3842; or email: michael.slack@dsca.mil or Ms. Michelle Davis, DSCA/STR/POL, at (703) 601-3843; or email michelle.davis@dsca.mil Scott Schless ATTACHMENT : CC :
