(viii) Date Report Delivered to 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: ‘‘Department of Defense 

Security Agreement,’’ ‘‘Appendage to 

Department of Defense Security 

Agreement,’’ ‘‘Certificate Pertaining to 

Foreign Interests;’’ DD Forms, 441, 441– 

1 and SF 328; OMB No. 0704–0194. 

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

partnership and sole proprietors are 

only required to have the signing of the 

agreement witnessed. DSS proposes that 

a witness is sufficient for all companies 

whether or not they are a corporation. 

Affected Public: Business, other 

profit, and non-profit organizations 

under DoD Security Cognizance.

The execution of the DD Form 441, 

441–1 and SF 328 is a factor in making 

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.
