REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR 
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)

    (i) Purchaser: Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office 
(TECRO) in the United States
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 20-69
    Date: October 21, 2020
    Military Department: Navy
    Funding Source: National Funds
    (iii) Description: On October 21, 2020, Congress was notified by 
Congressional certification transmittal number 20-69 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(l) of the Arms Export Control Act, of one 
hundred thirty-five (135) AGM-84H Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded 
Response (SLAM-ER) Missiles; four (4) ATM-84H SLAM-ER Telemetry 
Missiles; and twelve (12) CATM-84H Captive Air Training Missiles 
(CATM). Also included are one hundred fifty-one (151) containers, spare 
and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and 
technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, 
U.S. Government and contractor representatives' technical assistance, 
engineering and logistics support services, and other related elements 
of logistics support. The estimated total cost was $1.008 billion. 
Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $608 million of this total.
    This transmittal reports increases in MDE value by $147 million to 
$755 million and non-MDE value by $145 million to $545 million. This 
will result in an overall total case value increase of $292 million to 
$1.3 billion.
    (iv) Significance: Reassessment of recent market trends by the 
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has identified an increase in 
cost of parts from suppliers, ranging from 20% to 120% over the past 12 
months. Global supply chain logistics issues are impacting Long-lead 
items and increasing volatility to pricing, as some sub-tier suppliers 
are refusing to bid and others are offering pricing that is only valid 
for very limited timeframes, resulting in the need to qualify new 
sources. The OEM has repriced the effort to account for these price 
increases to add to the stability of this

effort. There is no change to sensitive equipment or quantity/type of 
MDE previously notified.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale serves U.S. national, 
economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's 
continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and to maintain a 
credible defensive capability. The proposed sale will help improve the 
security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political 
stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
statement contained in the original notification applies to items 
reported here.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is 
CONFIDENTIAL.
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: August 19, 2022
