Congress: 05 May 2015
* As defined in Section 47(6) of the
Arms Export Control Act.
POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Iraq—Ammunition
The Government of Iraq has requested
a possible sale of 5,000 81mm High
Explosive Mortar Ammunition, 684,000
M203 40mm High Explosive
Ammunition, 532,000 MK19 40mm
High Explosive Dual Purpose
Ammunition, and 40,000 155mm High
Explosives. Also includes small arms
ammunition, spare and repair parts,
support equipment, publications and
technical documentation, personnel
training and training equipment, U.S.
Government and contractor technical
and logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated cost is
$395 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a strategic
partner. This proposed sale directly
supports the Government of Iraq and
serves the interests of the people of Iraq
and the United States.
This proposed sale of additional
ammunition is critical in providing
continued combat power capability as
Iraq continues its fight against an
organized insurgency of extremists in
Iraq. Iraq will have no difficulty
absorbing this additional ammunition
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this additional
ammunition will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be
American Ordinance in Middletown,
Iowa and AMTEC in Janesville,
Wisconsin. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this sale will not
require U.S. Government representatives
or contractors to travel to Iraq.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Needs and Uses: Executive Order (EO)
12829 as amended, ‘‘National Industrial
Security Program (NISP),’’ stipulates
that the Secretary of Defense shall serve
as the Executive Agent for inspecting
and monitoring the contractors,
licensees, and grantees who require or
will require access, to or who store or
will store classified information; and for
determining the eligibility for access to
classified information of contractors,
licensees, and grantees and their
respective employees. The specific
requirements necessary to protect
classified information released to
private industry are set forth in
Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22M,
‘‘National Industrial Security Program
Operating Manual (NISPOM),’’ dated
February 28, 2006 as amended by
Conforming Change 1, dated March 28,
2013. These forms are mandated in the
Industrial Security Regulation DoD
5220.22–R dated December 1985 as
amended, DoD 5220.22—NISP Volume
3, dated April 17, 2014 and The Federal
Acquisition Regulation. Respondents
must execute DD Form 441,
‘‘Department of Defense Security
Agreement,’’ which is the initial
agreement between the contractor and
the government regarding security
requirements necessary to protect
classified information associated with
the contract. This legally binding
document details the responsibility of
both parties and obligates the contractor
to fulfill the requirements outlined in
DoD 5220.22M. The DD Form 441–1,
‘‘Appendage to Department of Defense
Security Agreement,’’ is used to extend
the agreement to branch offices of the
contractor. The SF Form 328,
‘‘Certificate Pertaining to Foreign
Interests,’’ must be submitted to provide
certification regarding elements of
Foreign Ownership, Control or
Influence (FOCI) as stipulated in
paragraph 2–302 of the NISPOM.
DSS proposes to make changes to the
DD Form 441 and SF 328. The
requirement for execution of the
corporate ‘‘Certificate’’ section and the
use of a corporate seal is being deleted.
Currently the government does not
require all corporations to execute the
corporate Certificate portion of the
Forms. Only those corporations who are
in possession of a seal were being
required to execute the Certificate.
Corporations that do not have a seal and
other types of businesses structures

The execution of the DD Form 441,

a determination as to whether a
contractor company is eligible to have a
facility security clearance. It is also a
legal basis for imposing NISP security
requirements on eligible contractors.
These requirements are necessary in
order to preserve and maintain the
security of the United States through
establishing standards to prevent the
improper disclosure of classified
information.
