Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 2, 2020 / Notices 77439 

7 17 CFR 145.9. 

8 In the Proposal, the Commission omitted the 

aggregate reporting burden for proposed § 43.3 and 

§ 43.4 in the preamble and instead provided PRA 

estimates for all of part 43. In the final rule, the 

Commission included PRA estimates for final § 43.3 

and § 43.4 because these are the only sections of 

part 43 affected by the final rulemaking. 

Attachment A to the supporting statement for the 

Proposal only showed the changes in the burden 

estimates for § 43.3 and § 43.4 for the Proposal. For 

the Final Rule, the Commission revised Attachment 

A to the supporting statement that was filed with 

OMB to include aggregate burden estimates for all 

requirements in the collection. The estimates in the 

supporting statements for the Final Rule are 

consistent with the estimates shown in the Burden 

Statement above (e.g., the supporting statement for 

the Final Rule reflects that there are 1,732 

respondents and that the total annual number of 

burden hours across all respondents is 771,831.) 

according to the procedures established 

in § 145.9 of the CFTC’s regulations.7

The CFTC reserves the right, but shall 

have no obligation, to review, prescreen, filter, redact, refuse or remove 

any or all of your submission from 

http://www.cftc.gov that it may deem to 

be inappropriate for publication, such as 

obscene language. All submissions that 

have been redacted or removed that 

contain comments on the merits of the 

Information Collection Request will be 

retained in the public comment file and 

will be considered as required under the 

Administrative Procedure Act and other 

applicable laws, and may be accessible 

under FOIA. 

Burden Statement: Provisions of 

CFTC Regulations 43.3, 43.4, and 43.6 

result in information collection 

requirements within the meaning of the 

PRA. With respect to the ongoing 

reporting and recordkeeping burdens 

associated with swaps, the CFTC 

believes that SDs, MSPs, SEFs, DCMs, 

DCOs, and non-SD/MSP/DCO 

counterparties incur an annual timeburden of 771,831 hours. This timeburden represents a proportion of the 

burden respondents incur to operate 

and maintain their swap data 

recordkeeping and reporting systems. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: SDs, 

MSPs, and other counterparties to a 

swap transaction (i.e., non-SD/MSP/ 

DCO counterparties). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,732. 

Estimated average burden hours per 

respondent: 445. 

Estimated total annual burden hours 

on respondents: 771,831 hours. 

Frequency of collection: Ongoing. 

Capital or Operating and 

Maintenance Costs: $85,849,000.8

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Switzerland—Patriot Configuration-3+ 

Modernized Fire Units 

The Government of Switzerland has 

requested the possible sale of five (5) 

Patriot Configuration-3+ Modernized 

Fire Units, consisting of: five (5) AN/ 

MPQ–65 Radar Sets; five (5) AN/MSQ– 

132 Engagement Control Stations;

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 2, 2020 / Notices 77441 

seventeen (17) M903 Launching 

Stations; up to seventy (70) Patriot 

MIM–104E Guidance Enhanced Missile 

Tactical (GEM–T) Missiles; seven (7) 

Antenna Mast Groups; five (5) Electrical 

Power Plants (EPP) III; and six (6) 

Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System Low Volume 

Terminal (MIDS–LVT) (11) Block 

Upgrade Two (BU2). Also included are 

communications equipment; tools and 

test equipment; range and test programs; 

support equipment to include 

associated vehicles; prime movers; 

generators; publications and technical 

documentation; training equipment; 

spare and repair parts; personnel 

training; Technical Assistance Field 

Team (TAFT); U.S. Government and 

contractor technical, engineering, and 

logistics support services; Systems 

Integration and Checkout (SICO); field 

office support; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The total estimated cost is $2.2 

billion. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a friendly European 

nation which is an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

within Europe. 

The proposed sale of the Patriot 

missile system will improve 

Switzerland’s missile defense 

capability. Switzerland will use the 

Patriot to defend its territorial integrity 

and for regional stability. The proposed 

sale supports Switzerland’s goal of 

improving national and territorial 

defense. Switzerland will have no 

difficulty absorbing this equipment into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractors will be 

Raytheon Corporation, Tewksbury, 

Massachusetts and Lockheed-Martin, 

Dallas, Texas. The purchaser typically 

requests offsets. Any offset agreement 

will be defined in negotiations between 

the purchaser and the contractor. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require approximately twenty-five 

(25) U.S. Government and forty (40) 

contractor representatives to travel to 

Switzerland for an extended period for 

equipment de-processing/fielding, 

system checkout, training, and technical 

and logistics support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The Patriot Air Defense System is 

a surface-to-air missile defense system, 

which continues to hold a significant 

technology lead over other systems in 

the world. The Patriot Air Defense 

System contains communication, 

identification, navigation, and tactical 

software. The items requested represent 

significant technological advances for 

Switzerland. 

2. The Patriot sensitive/critical 

technology is primarily in the area of 

design and production know-how and 

inherent in the design, development 

and/or manufacturing data related to 

certain components. 

3. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, services, 

and information on system performance 

capabilities, effectiveness, survivability, 

missile seeker capabilities, select 

software/software documentation and 

test data included in this potential sale 

are classified up to and including 

SECRET. 

4. Loss of this hardware, software, 

documentation and/or data could 

permit development of information 

which may lead to a significant threat to 

future U.S. military operations. If an 

adversary were to obtain this sensitive 

technology, the missile system 

effectiveness could be compromised 

through reverse engineering techniques. 

5. A determination has been made 

that Switzerland can provide 

substantially the same degree of 

protection for the sensitive technology 

being released as the U.S. Government. 

This sale is necessary in furtherance of 

the U.S. foreign policy and national 

security objectives outlined in the 

Policy Justification. 

6. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Switzerland.
