BILLING CODE 6050–28–P

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Class Tuition Waiver for Children of

Foreign Personnel Assigned to

Partnership for Peace

AGENCY: DoD, DoDDS.

ACTION: Notice.

The Assistant Secretary of Defense

(Force Management Policy (ASD(FMP))

issued a memorandum dated July 9,

1995, establishing a class tuition waiver

for the space available enrollment of

Partnership for Peace (PFP) dependents

at the SHAPE International School (SIS)

and the Brussels American School

(BAS). On January 16, 1997, the

ASD(FMP) signed a memorandum that

supersedes the 1995 memorandum.

Effective immediately enrollment in

the SIS and the BAS on a spaceavailable, tuition-free basis is designated

through the end of school year 1997–98,

for the dependents of military and

diplomatic personnel participating in

the PFP Program in Belgium who meet

the following criteria: The sponsor must

be identified and recommended to the

Brussels District Superintendent as

eligible under the waiver by the U.S.

National Military Representative

(USNMR) to the Supreme Headquarters

Allied Powers, Europe (SHAPE) for PFP

sponsors assigned to the Partnership

Coordination Cell, Mons, or other North

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

activities in the SHAPE area; or by the

Defense Advisor to the U.S. Mission to

the NATO for PFP sponsors stationed at

NATO Headquarters or other NATO

activities in the Brussels area. To be

eligible, a PFP sponsor must be assigned

specifically for the purposes of

performing representational functions

within the PFP Program, and the

sponsor’s principal ‘‘place of duty’’

must be a PFP office at NATO command

or headquarters in either Mons or

Brussels, Belgium.

Notwithstanding the above criteria,

children enrolled for school year (SY)

1996–97 pursuant to the June 9, 1995

memorandum, will be enrolled, spaceavailable, tuition-free, through the end

of SY 1996–97. Thereafter, to remain

eligible, those students and all other

PFP students who request enrollment,

must meet the above criteria.

Commencing with SY 1997–98,

enrollment preference will be extended

to students who were previously

enrolled, in the order in which they

registered. All eligible students will be

screened to determine the appropriate

educational program. Enrollment is

contingent upon the availability of

space. Tuition is waived only for so long

as a student remains eligible under the

terms of this memorandum. Students

must be disenrolled upon the loss of

eligibility, unless space is available to

enroll them as tuition-paying students

and they pay tuition in accordance with

DoD Directive 1342.13.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of

DoD Directive 1342.13, ‘‘Eligibility

Requirements for Education of Minor

Dependents in Overseas Area,’’ are

available, at cost, from the National

Technical Information Service, 5285

Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161.
