(b) No device will be eligible for ini-

tial or upgrade qualification to a FFS 
at Level A or Level B under this part

statement of qualification (see applica-
ble QPS, attachment 4, figure 4) by the 
NSPM to the sponsor of that FSTD in 
accordance with— 

(1) A BASA between the United 

States and the Contracting State that
