MEMORANDUM FOR :

SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT :

Initial Deposit for Cases Funded with FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger (DSCA 05-09) [SAMM E-Change 28]

REFERENCE :

 

  1. DSCA Memorandum 1-07943/99, dated June 21, 1999
  2. Referenced memorandum established the policy that initial deposit for new cases financed with FMS Credit (non-repayable) would be equal to the Estimated Total Costs of the Letter of Offer and Acceptance. This memorandum rescinds that policy and updates the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM).

 

SAMM Paragraph C9.9.1.1. is replaced in its entirety with the following:

C9.9.1.1. Payment Schedule Requirement. A payment schedule is developed for each case unless the Term of Sale is "Cash With Acceptance," or the case is fully funded with FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger, the total case value is less than $5M, and the country is not authorized cash flow financing. In these instances, the Initial Deposit covers the entire case value. The following paragraphs provide criteria for developing payment schedules.

SAMM Table C9. T10 is amended as follows:

Table C9.T10. Initial Deposit Requirements

If the case is partially funded by FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger Funds (except when cash flow financing is approved) the deposit should be at least the amount of the FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger Funding.

SAMM Paragraphs C9.9.3.1. and C9.9.3.2. are replaced as follows:

C9.9.3.1. Payment Schedule Revision Format for Amendments. Amendments use the payment schedule format in Table C9.T11. When either the Term of Sale is "Cash With Acceptance," or the case is fully funded with FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger, the total cash value is less than $5M, and cash flow financing is not authorized, the Amount Due with Amendment Acceptance will equal the increase in case value.

C9.9.3.2. Payment Schedule Revision Format for Modification. Modifications use the payment schedule format in Table C9. T12. When either the Term of Sales is "Cash With Acceptance," or the case is fully funded with FMS Credit (Non-Repayable) and/or MAP Merger, the total cash value is less than $5M, and cash flow financing is not authorized, the next quarterly payment due will equal the increase in case value.
