DSCA Memorandum, January 11, 2008, Subject: Assignment of Code "B8" for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 Section 1206 Programs, DSCA Policy 08-02

The referenced memorandum contains procedural guidance for documents pertaining to the FY 2008 Section 1206 program. This policy memorandum augments the referenced guidance regarding the preparation of FY 2008 Section 1206 Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) for the Pakistan Frontier Corps. Effective immediately, SAMM Table C4.T2., (Country, International Organization, and Regional Codes and FMS Eligibility), is updated to include using the previously established code "B8" to track funds provided for the Pakistan Frontier Corps, authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (PL 110-181), Section 1206. This public law pertains only to the limited number of LOA documents prepared for the Pakistan Frontier Corps and not for all Section 1206 programs. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency must authorize use of this code for Pseudo LOA documents. The following information applies:

Organization	FMS Code	Combatant Command \1	Regional Grouping \2	FMS/AECA Eligible \3	Term of Sale - Dependable Undertaking Authorized	Accel. Case Closure Eligible
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 PL 109-364, Section 1206; and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 PL 110-181, Section 1206 for the Pakistan Frontier Corps	B8	NR	NR	No	No	N/A

This change will be included in the automated version of the SAMM found on the DSCA Web Page as SAMM E-Change 109.

Procedures for FY 2008 Pseudo LOA documents authorized and funded pursuant to Section 1206 of PL 110-181 are the same as those followed for the Section 1206 program extended into FY 2008 by PL 109-364.
