MEMORANDUM FOR : SEE DISTRIBUTION SUBJECT : LOA Note - Retention of Title for FMS Shipment (DSCA Policy 09-33) [SAMM E-Change 138] This memorandum issues a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) note for use on Defense Transportation System (DTS) shipments when specific operational circumstances require the USG to retain the title of FMS materiel after the initial point of shipment. Title retention by the US Government is not a standard practice for DTS movement of FMS materiel, but it will provide an option to allow FMS/FMS-origin materiel to transit through nations with restrictive customs requirement while the U.S. Transportation Command explores alternative shipment options. This policy memorandum is effective 30 days from signature. The attached LOA note will be added to the electronic version of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM), Chapter 5, Table C5.T5. For questions relating to this memorandum, please contact Mr. Brion Midland, DSCA STR/POL, brion.midland@dsca.mil, (703) 601-3672. Scott Schless ATTACHMENT : DISTRIBUTION :
