of the Foreign Assistance Act by reason of the application of the Foreign Assistance Act or any other provision of law.
Under section 606c of the Act as applied for FY 2022, a country with per capita income changes from FY 2021 to FY 2022 such that the country would be reclassified from the low income category to the lower middle income category or vice versa will retain its income status in its former category for FY 2022 and two subsequent fiscal years FY 2023 and FY 2024. A country that has transitioned to the upper middle income category does not qualify as a candidate country.
Pursuant to section 606d of the Act, the Board identified the following countries as candidate countries under the Act for FY 2022. In so doing, the Board referred to the prohibitions on assistance to countries for FY 2021
under the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2021 Div. J., Pub.
L. 11694 FY 2021 SFOAA.
