   2. That the Agreement* between the Government of Kuwait and the Executive Committee contained in Annex XVI to the present report had been updated to reflect the change in agency support costs owing to the new administrative cost regime in Appendix 2-A, and to add a new paragraph 16 that the updated Agreement superseded that reached at the 66^th meeting;
2. To approve the second tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Kuwait and the corresponding 2015-2016 tranche implementation plans, in the amount of US $3,961,140, consisting of US $337,000, plus agency support costs of US $40,301 for UNEP, and US $3,349,382, plus agency support costs of US $234,457 for UNIDO, on the understanding that the approved funds would not be transferred to UNEP and UNIDO until the Secretariat had reviewed the verification report and confirmed that the Government of Kuwait was in compliance with the Montreal Protocol and the Agreement between the Government and the Executive Committee.
