    (iii) Description: On April 27, 2017, Congress was notified by 
Congressional certification transmittal number 17-19 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of follow-
on support for three (3) C-17 aircraft to include participation in the 
Global Reach Improvement Program, contract labor for Class I 
modifications and kits, in-country contractor support, alternate 
mission equipment, major modification and retrofit, software support, 
aircraft maintenance and technical support, support equipment, 
personnel training and training equipment, additional spare and repair 
parts, technical orders and publications, airworthiness certification 
support, engine logistics support, inspections, and other U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, logistics and program support. 
The total estimated cost was $300 million. There was no Major Defense 
Equipment (MDE) associated with this sale.
    This transmittal reports the addition of non-MDE follow-on support 
for the C-17 fleet to include aircraft and engine hardware and software 
modification and support; contractor logistics support, with further 
participation in the Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program 
(GISP), Globemaster III Sustainment Contract (G3SC), Material 
Improvement Program (MIP), and Over and Above (O&A).
    The total value of new non-MDE follow-on support is $170 million. 
This results in a revised total non-MDE value of $470 million. The 
total case value will increase to $470 million.

    (iv) Significance: This notification is provided as the additional 
non-MDE follow-on support was not enumerated in the original 
notification. The proposed articles and services will support the NATO 
Support and Procurement Agency to create appropriate line items to 
capture, execute, and easily reconcile the anticipated price increase 
of the upcoming C-17 sustainment contract. This program flies missions 
in and around Europe, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Levant, and North Africa.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve 
the security of NATO allies and partner nations that are an important 
force for ensuring peace and stability in Europe.
