POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Australia—Javelin Missiles 

The Government of Australia has 

requested to buy two hundred (200) 

Javelin FGM-148E missiles with U.S. 

Government technical assistance and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The total estimated 

cost is not to exceed $46 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States. Australia 

is one of our most important allies in 

the Western Pacific. The strategic 

location of this political and economic 

power contributes significantly to 

ensuring peace and economic stability 

in the region. 

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) 

is seeking to fill a short-term shortfall in 

its Javelin missile inventory in order to 

maintain the appropriate level of 

readiness. Australia will not have any 

difficulty absorbing these missiles into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

These missiles will be provided from 

U.S. Army stocks. There are no known 

offsets associated with this sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to Australia. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 20–73 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The Javelin Weapon System is a 

medium-range, man portable, shoulderlaunched, fire-and-forget, anti-tank 

system for infantry, scouts, and combat 

engineers. It may also be mounted on a 

variety of platforms including vehicles, 

aircraft and watercraft. The system 

weighs 49.5 pounds and has a 

maximum range in excess of 2,500 

meters. The system is highly lethal 

against tanks and other systems with 

conventional and reactive armors. The 

system possesses a secondary capability 

against bunkers. 

2. Javelin’s key technical feature is the 

use of fire-and-forget technology, which 

allows the gunner to fire and 

immediately relocate or take cover. 

Additional special features are the top 

attack and/or direct fire modes, an 

advanced tandem warhead and imaging 

infrared seeker, target lock-on before 

launch, and soft launch from enclosures 

or covered fighting positions. The 

Javelin missile also has a minimum 

smoke motor thus decreasing its 

detection on the battlefield. 

3. The Javelin Weapon System is 

comprised of two major tactical 

components, which are a reusable 

Command Launch Unit (CLU) and a 

round contained in a disposable launch 

tube assembly. The CLU incorporates an 

integrated day-night sight that provides 

a target engagement capability in 

adverse weather and countermeasure 

environments. The CLU may also be 

used in a stand-alone mode for 

battlefield surveillance and target 

detection. The CLU’s thermal sight is a 

second generation Forward Looking 

Infrared (FLIR) sensor. 

4. The missile is autonomously 

guided to the target using an imaging 

infrared seeker and adaptive correlation 

tracking algorithms. This allows the 

gunner to take cover or reload and 

engage another target after firing a 

missile. The missile has an advanced 

tandem warhead and can be used in 

either the top attack or direct fire modes 

(for target undercover). An onboard 

flight computer guides the missile to the 

selected target. 

5. The Javelin Missile System 

hardware and the documentation are 

UNCLASSIFIED. 

6. If a technologically advanced 

adversary obtains knowledge of the 

specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures or 

equivalent systems that might reduce 

weapon system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of a system with 

similar or advanced capabilities. 

7. A determination has been made 

that Australia can provide substantially 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This proposed 

sale is necessary to further the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy 

Justification. 

8. All defense articles and services 

listed on this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Australia.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP20–479–000] 

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed 2021 

Auburn A-Line Abandonment and 

Capacity Replacement Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

2021 Auburn A-Line Abandonment and 

Capacity Replacement Project, proposed 

by Northern Natural Gas Company 

(Northern), in the above-referenced 

docket. Northern requests authorization 

to construct, own, and operate a 

pipeline loop 1 and appurtenant 

aboveground facilities, and abandon-inplace a segment of its A-line pipeline in 

Nebraska. Northern’s purpose for the 

project is to improve reliability, enable 

safer long-term operation of Northern’s 

system, and serve the needs of its 

shippers more effectively by eliminating 

inefficiencies associated with the 

operation and maintenance of the A-line 

segment. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction, operation, and 

abandonment activities associated with 

the 2021 Auburn A-Line Abandonment 

and Capacity Replacement Project in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed project, with 

appropriate mitigating measures, would 

not constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The proposed 2021 Auburn A-Line 

Abandonment and Capacity 

Replacement Project includes the 

following: 

• Construction of approximately 4.4 

miles of new 8-inch-diameter pipeline 

loop in Lancaster and Otoe Counties, 

Nebraska (proposed B-line); 

• installation of a pig 2 launcher and 

valve station in Lancaster County, 

Nebraska; 

• installation of a regulation station 

in Otoe County, Nebraska; and 

• abandonment in-place of 

approximately 31.7 miles of 4- and 6- 

inch-diameter A-line in Lancaster, Otoe, 

Johnson, and Nemaha counties, 

Nebraska. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability to federal, state, 

and local government representatives 

and agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. The EA is only available in 

electronic format. It may be viewed and 

downloaded from the FERC’s website 

(www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas 

environmental documents page (https:// 

www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be 

accessed by using the eLibrary link on 

the FERC’s website. Click on the 

eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/

The EA is not a decision document. 

It presents Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the EA may do so. Your 

comments should focus on the EA’s 

disclosure and discussion of potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this project, it is 

important that we receive your 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

January 11, 2021.
