million. 

This proposed sale will support U.S. 

foreign policy and national security by 

helping to improve the security of a 

NATO ally, which is an important 

partner for political stability and 

economic progress in Europe. 

The proposed sale supports and 

complements the ongoing efforts of Italy 

to modernize its airborne Intelligence, 

Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and 

Electronic Warfare capability and 

increases interoperability between the 

U.S. Air Force and the Italian Air Force 

(ITAF). Italy will have no difficulty 

absorbing these articles into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

L3Harris, Greenville, TX. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require the assignment of up to six 

(6) additional U.S. contractor 

representatives to Italy for a duration of 

one (1) year to support equipment 

familiarization. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness resulting from 

this proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 21-07 

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. Missile Warning Sensor (MWS) 

units are mounted on the aircraft 

exterior to provide omni-directional 

protection. The MWS warns of threat 

missile approach by detecting radiation 

associated with the rocket motor. The 

Infrared Missile Warning System 

(IRMWS) is a small, lightweight, 

passive, electro-optic, threat-warning 

device used to detect surface-to-air 

missiles fired at helicopters and lowflying fixed-wing aircraft and 

automatically provides countermeasures, as well as audio and visual 

warning messages to the aircrew. 

2. Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio 

System (MIDS JTRS) is an advanced 

Link-16 command, control, 

communications, and intelligence (C3I) 

system incorporating high capacity, jamresistant, digital communication links 

for exchange of near real-time tactical 

information, including both data and 

voice, among air, ground, and sea 

elements. 

3. The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasure 

Dispenser Set (CMDS) provides an 

integrated threat-adaptive, computer 

controlled capability for dispensing 

chaff, flares, and active radio frequency 

expendables. The system is internally 

mounted and may be operated as a 

stand-alone system or may be integrated 

with other on-board Electronic Warfare 

(EW) and avionics systems. The AN/ 

ALE-47 uses threat data received over 

the aircraft interfaces to assess the threat 

situation and determine a response. 

Expendable routines tailored to the 

immediate aircraft and threat 

environment may be dispensed using 

one of four operational modes. 

4. The Embedded GPS-INS (EGI) is a 

sensor that combines GPS and inertial 

sensor inputs to provide accurate 

location information for navigation and 

targeting, and can be loaded with 

crypto-variable keys. 

5. Wescam MX-20HD is a gyrostabilized, multi-spectral, multi-field of 

view Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) 

system. The systems provide 

surveillance laser illumination and laser 

designation through use of an externally 

mounted turret sensor unit and 

internally mounted master control. 

Sensor video imagery is displayed in the 

aircraft real time and may be recorded 

for subsequent ground analysis. 

6. The Osprey family of surveillance 

radars provides second generation 

Active Electronically Scanned Array 

(AESA) surveillance capability as the 

primary sensor on airborne assets. The 

Osprey radars are at a high technology 

readiness level and are in production for 

fixed and rotary wing applications. This 

Osprey configuration employs a sidelooking radar. Osprey radars provide a 

genuine multi-domain capability, with 

high performance sea surveillance, 

notably against difficult targets, land 

surveillance with wide swath, very high 

resolution ground mapping, small and 

low speed ground target indication, high 

performance air to air surveillance, 

tracking and intercept. 

7. The AISREW mission systems, to 

include the RIOTM Communications 

Intelligence Systems, provide near-realtime information to tactical forces, 

combatant commanders and nationallevel authorities across the spectrum of 

conflict. The mission system can 

forward gather information in a variety 

of formats via secured communications 

systems. Most hardware used in this 

system is generic and commercially 

available. However, if any of the 

specialized hardware or publications are 

lost, the information could provide 

insight into many critical U.S. 

capabilities. Information gained could 

be used to develop countermeasures as 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
84316 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 248 / Monday, December 28, 2020 / Notices 

well as offensive and defensive countertactics. 

8. The highest level of classification of 

information included in this potential 

sale is SECRET. 

9. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

10. A determination has been made 

that Italy 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. 

11. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to 

Italy.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID DoD–2020–OS–0097] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Defense (OSD), Department of Defense 

(DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD proposes 

to establish a new system of records 

covering all DoD components titled, 

‘‘Defense Training Records’’ DoD 0005. 

This system of records describes the 

DoD’s collection, use, and maintenance 

of records about training delivered to 

DoD Service Members, civilian 

personnel, and other DoD-affiliated 

individuals. The training data includes 

enrollment and participation 

information, information pertaining to 

class schedules, programs, and 

instructors, training trends and needs, 

testing and examination materials, and 

assessments of training efficacy. 

Additionally, the DoD is issuing a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which 

proposes to exempt this system of 

records from certain provisions of the 

Privacy Act, elsewhere in today’s issue 

of the Federal Register. 

DATES: This new system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before January 27, 2021. 

The Routine Uses are effective at the 

close of the comment period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods: 

* Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Defense Training Records system of 

records is being established as a DoDwide Privacy Act system of records for 

use by all DoD offices and components. 

A DoD-wide system of records notice 

(SORN) supports multiple DoD paper or 

electronic recordkeeping systems 

operated by more than one DoD 

component and maintain the same kind 

of information about individuals for the 

same purpose. Establishment of DoDwide SORNs helps the DoD standardize 

the rules governing the collection, 

maintenance, use, and sharing of 

personal information in key areas across 

the enterprise. DoD-wide SORNs also 

reduce duplicative and overlapping 

SORNs published by separate DoD 

components. The creation of this DoDwide SORNs is expected to make 

locating relevant SORNs easier for DoD 

personnel and the public, and create 

efficiencies in the operation of the DoD 

privacy program. 

This system of records describes 

training records created and maintained 

by all component parts of DoD, 

wherever they are maintained. The 

system consists of both electronic and 

paper records and will be used by DoD 

components and offices to maintain 

records about training provided to DoDaffiliated individuals, including Military 

Service members, civilian employees, 

dependents and family members, 

contractors, and other individuals 

enrolled in courses administered by the 

DoD. These records may include 

information pertaining to class 

schedules, enrollment, participation, 

programs, and instructors; training 

trends and needs; testing and 

examination materials; and assessments 

of training efficacy. The collection and 

maintenance of this information will 

assist the DoD in meeting its obligations 

under law, regulation, and policy to 

provide training on various subjects to 

ensure that the agency mission can be 

successfully accomplished. Records 

pertaining to diploma or degreeconferring institutions, such as the 

military academies (United States 

Military Academy, United States Naval 

Academy, United States Air Force 

Academy, United States Marine 

Academy), the DoD Education Activity 

Schools, Uniformed Service University 

of the Health Sciences, and the National 

Defense University, are not part of this 

system of records. 

Additionally, the DoD is issuing a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to 

exempt this system of records from 

certain provisions of the Privacy Act 

elsewhere in today’s issue of the 

Federal Register. 

The DoD notices for systems of 

records subject to the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, have been published 

in the Federal Register and are available 

from the address in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT or at the Defense 

Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency Division website at 

https://dpcld.defense.gov. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) 

and Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular No. A–108, DoD has 

provided a report of this system of 

records to the OMB and to Congress.
