SUBJECT :

Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) Administrative Changes, DSCA Policy 08-40 [SAMM E-Change 123]

The administrative changes documented in the attachment do not warrant their own policy memoranda as they are being done to update data and do not have significant policy implications. The majority of these changes either:

1. revise references to Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Denver to reflect DFAS' move to Indianapolis;

2. update references to DoD Directive 5132.3, which has been replaced by DoDD 5132.03, "DoD Policy and Responsibilities Related to Security Cooperation;" or

3. reflect a new status for the Republic of Korea. Section 3 of PL 110-429 provides the Republic of Korea the same benefits accorded to countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand with respect to notifications of foreign military sales. This means, for example, that 36(b) notifications for South Korea are now required only when their values reach the higher NATO+3 levels and require only a 15-day formal notification period.

As these changes are administrative in nature, they are effective immediately and will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page, www.dsca.mil, as SAMM E-Change 123. For questions relating to the SAMM, please contact Mr. Mike Slack, DSCA/STR-POL, at 703-601-3842 or e-mail: michael.slack@dsca.mil.

9. In Table C8.T4., Event 12, after the statement in the Timeframe Column, the parenthetical reference "(See SAMM C8.5.)" is added.

10. Paragraph C5.6.3 is replaced with the following revised version:

    C5.6.3. When is Congressional Notification Required? Table C5.T11. identifies the Congressional Notification criteria and requirements. The DoS must provide clearance to DSCA prior to DSCA forwarding to Congress the statutory 15, 30, or 45 day notification and/or the Advance Notification (20-day review period prior to the 30-calendar day statutory review period) required for countries other than NATO, any NATO member country, Australia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and New Zealand.

11. In Table C5.T5., the mandatory standard note for Military Assistance Program (MAP) Redistributed Property is replaced with the revised version below.

    Military Assistance Program (MAP) Redistributed Property

    Note Usage
    Mandatory for LOAs that include items originally purchased under MAP. Mandatory for Amendments and Modifications that add items originally purchased under MAP. See Chapter 11, Table C11.T23
    Note Text
    "Upon acceptance, the purchaser should return one signed copy of this LOA to Defense Financing and Accounting Service-Indianapolis, Attn: Security Assistance Accounting/JAX, 8899 East 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46249-6300."

12. Table C6.T9 is replaced with the revised version below.

    Table C6.T9. Accelerated Case Closure Eligibility

    ACC Eligibility Criteria	Considerations
    Cases are supply complete for at least 1 year.	This time frame accommodates final reconciliation actions and the purchaser's right to submit an SDR associated with the final delivery. The timeframe can be abbreviated if the purchaser confirms in writing that no additional SDRs will be submitted.
    No outstanding SDRs or litigation claims are pending.	A case, for which a litigation judgment was issued, can close under ACC even if the settlement has not been paid.
    The case is paid in full, i.e., collections equal the final costs.	If the case is not yet paid in full, the MILDEP/Implementing Agency is encouraged to continue processing the case for closure and to forward the closure certificate (and associated "C1" transaction) to DFAS Indianapolis. The purchaser should be notified as early as possible that a final payment is needed to close the case.
    The purchaser wants the case closed.	By virtue of the purchaser participating in ACC, a general understanding exists at the Ministry of Defense (MOD) (or equivalent) level that the USG closes its cases within 2 years. Any exceptions to keeping a case open, even though it is supply complete, should be coordinated with DSCA (Business Operations Directorate). Normally, DSCA (Business Operations Directorate) requires that the purchaser's MOD (or equivalent) organization agrees the case should remain open.

13. Table C5.T10. is replaced with the following revised version:
