COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY
REGULATION NUMBER 11


AMENDMENTS TO COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONS NO.
2 (CPA/REG/10 JUNE 2003/02) AND NO. 3 (CPA/REG/18 JUNE 2003/03)

Pursuant to my authority as Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), and
under the laws and usages of war, and consistent with relevant U.N. Security Council
resolutions, including Resolutions 1483 and 1511 (2003) and 1546 (2004),

Noting that the Coalition Provisional Authority will dissolve on June 30, 2004 and that full
governance authority of Iraq will transfer to the Iraqi Interim Government on that date,

Recognizing that on June 30, 2004 the Iraqi Interim Government will assume control over all
funds in the Development Fund for Iraq,

Acknowledging that the Coalitional Provisional Authority has entered into contracts on behalf of
the people of Iraq and that many of these contracts require continued performance and payment
from the Development Fund for Iraq after June 30, 2004,

Understanding that continued performance and payments due under these contracts after June
30, 2004 are critical to the redevelopment and reconstruction of Iraq,

Desiring to amend Coalition Provisional Authority Regulation No. 2, Development Fund for
Iraq, (CPA/REG/10 June 2003/02), and Coalition Provisional Authority Regulation No. 3,
Program Review Board, (CPA/REG/18 June 2003/03), to provide for the orderly transition of
authority over the Development Fund for Iraq from the Coalition Provisional Authority to the
Iraqi Interim Government,

I hereby promulgate the following:

shall be created. The sub-account shall be entitled “Central Bank of Iraq/Development
Fund for Iraq/Transition” and (when established) shall contain funds equal to or in excess
of the total amount of outstanding contractual liability against the Development Fund for
Iraq arising out of contracts or grants funded by the Development Fund for Iraq that:

Resolutions 1483 and 1546, the Central Bank of Iraq shall continue to hold on its books
the Fund. Also, as agreed between the Administrator and the Federal Reserve Bank
(and/or other financial institution(s)), such institution(s) shall continue to maintain on its
