SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Subsection (a) of 10 U.S.C. 2534

provided that the Secretary of Defense

may procure the items listed in that

subsection only if the manufacturer of

the item is part of the national

technology and industrial base.

Subsection (i) of 10 U.S.C. 2534

authorizes the Secretary of Defense to

exercise the waiver authority in

subsection (d), on the basis of the

applicability of paragraph (2) or (3) of

that subsection, only if the waiver is

made for a particular item listed in

subsection (a) and for particular foreign

country. Subsection (d) authorizes a

waiver if the Secretary determines that

application of the limitation ‘‘would

impede the reciprocal procurement of

defense items under a memorandum of

understanding providing for reciprocal

procurement of defense items’’ and if he

determines that ‘‘that country does not

discriminate against defense items

produced in the United States to a

greater degree than the United States

discriminates against defense items

produced in that country.’’ The

Secretary of Defense has delegated the

waiver authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534(d) to

the Under Secretary of Defense

(Acquisition and Technology).

DoD has a reciprocal procurement

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

with the UK that was signed on

December 4, 1994.

The Under Secretary of Defense

(Acquisition and Technology) finds that

UK does not discriminate against

defense items produced in the United

States to a greater degree that the United

States discriminates against defense

items produced in the UK, and also

finds that application of the limitation

in 10 U.S.C. 2534 against defense items

produced in the UK would impede the

reciprocal procurement of defense items

under the MOU.

Under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534,

the Under Secretary of Defense

(Acquisition and Technology) has

determined that application of the

limitation of 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) to the

procurement of any defense item

produced in the UK that is listed below

would impede the reciprocal

procurement of defense items under the

MOU with the UK.

On the basis of the foregoing, the

Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition

and Technology) is waiving the

limitation in 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) for

procurements of any defense item listed

below that is produced in the UK. This

waiver applies only to the limitations in

10 U.S.C. 2534(a). It does not apply to

any other limitation, including sections

8016 and 8073 of the National Defense

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1998

(Pub. L. 105–56). This waiver applies to

procurements under solicitations issued

on or after the effective date of this

waiver. For contracts entered into prior

to the effective date of this waiver, this

waiver applies to procurements of the

defense items listed below under—

(1) Subcontracts entered into on or

after such effective date, provided the

prime contract is modified to provide

the Government adequate consideration

such as lower cost or improve

performance; and

(2) Options that are exercised after

such effective date if the option prices

are adjusted for any reason other than

the application of the waiver, and if the

contract is modified to provide the

Government adequate consideration

such as lower cost or improved

performance.

List of Items to Which This Waiver

Applies

1. Air circuit breakers.

2. Welded shipboard anchor and

mooring chain with a diameter of four

inches or less.

3. Gyrocompasses.

4. Electronic navigation chart systems.

5. Steering controls.

6. Pumps.

7. Propulsion and machinery control

systems.

8. Totally enclosed lifeboats.

9. Ball and roller bearings.
