SECTION 6.0 Amendments to TAA or MLA
Once an agreement is approved by DTCL, any changes to the agreement must be made via an amendment. § 124.1 identifies two different types of amendments that can be submitted to existing agreements.
§ 124.1(c) Amendments - Changes to the scope of approved agreements, including modifications, upgrades, or extensions must be submitted for approval. The amendments may not enter into force until approved by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
Note: Due to limitations with DTrade 2, the DSP-5 vehicle reference number for the related amendments will not be numbered sequentially. For example, Amendment A for TAA 050312345 could result in a case number of 050313897, while Amendment B could result in a case number of 050320040, and so on. However, the additional agreement number assigned to the base agreement (e.g., TA-9876-13) will remain the same for subsequent amendments with the next sequential amendment letter added to the base number (e.g., TA-9876-13A). DDTC uses letters to designate amendments to an agreement. This also includes amendment applications that do not require execution by the agreement parties such as increases in value or applications that are returned without action. For this reason, DDTC recommends applicants track all amendments (major and minor) with numbers instead of letters. This will allow the applicant to keep track of minor amendments to the case without confusing DDTCs amendment letter with the applicant’s amendment number.
§124.1(d) Minor Amendments - Amendments which only alter delivery or performance schedules, or other minor administrative amendments which do not affect in any manner the duration of the agreement or the clauses or information which must be included in such agreements because of the requirements of this part, do not have to be submitted for approval. Once a minor amendment is signed by the respective parties, applicants must upload an electronic copy to the latest approved amendment or to the basic agreement (if no amendment) within 30 days after the minor amendment is concluded (see Section 6.3 of these Guidelines).
Note: If submissions concern commodities that are affected by Export Control Reform, please refer to Section 20 of these guidelines for additional information.
