Policy Justification 

Belgium—AIM–9X–2 SIDEWINDER 

MISSILES 

The Government of Belgium has 

requested a possible sale of 40 AIM–9X– 

2 Sidewinder Block II All-Up-Round 

Missiles, 36 CATM–9X–2 Captive Air 

Training Missiles, 2 CATM–9X–2 Block 

II Missile Guidance Units, and 10 AIM– 

9X–2 Block II Tactical Guidance Units, 

4 Dummy Air Training Missiles, 

containers, missile support and test 

equipment, provisioning, spare and 

repair parts, personnel training and 

training equipment, publications and 

technical data, U.S. Government and 

contractor technical assistance and 

other related logistics support, and other 

related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$68 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a NATO ally 

which continues to be an important 

force for political stability and economic 

progress in Europe. 

The Belgian Air Force (BAF) intends 

to obtain these AIM–9X missiles as part 

of an overall military modernization 

program to better support its own air 

defense needs and to improve its 

interoperability with the U.S. and other 

NATO allies. The BAF will have no 

difficulty absorbing the AIM–9X 

missiles into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this weapon 

system will not alter the basic military 

balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

Raytheon Missile Systems Company in 

Tucson, Arizona. There are no known 

offset requirements in connection with 

this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require travel of U.S. Government 

or contractor representatives to Belgium 

on a temporary basis for program 

technical support and management 

oversight. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 13–47 

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 AIM–9X–2 Block II Sidewinder 

Missile represents a substantial increase 

in missile acquisition and kinematics 

performance over the AIM–9M and 

replaces the AIM–9X Block I Missile. 

The missile includes a high offboresight seeker, enhanced 

countermeasure rejection capability, 

low drag/high angle of attack airframe 

and the ability to integrate the Helmet 

Mounted Cueing System. The software 

algorithms are the most sensitive 

portion of the AIM–9X–2 missile. The 

software continues to be modified via a 

pre-planned product improvement (P3I) 

program in order to improve its countercountermeasure capabilities. No 

software source code or algorithms will 

be released. The missile is classified as 

Confidential. 

2. The AIM–9X–2 will result in the 

transfer of sensitive technology and 

information. The equipment, hardware, 

and documentation are classified 

Confidential. The software and 

operational performance are classified 

Secret. The seeker/guidance control 

section and the target detector are 

Confidential and contain sensitive stateof-the-art technology. Manuals and 

technical documentation that are 

necessary or support operational use 

and organizational management are 

classified up to Secret. Performance and 

operating logic of the countercountermeasures circuits are classified 

Secret. The hardware, software, and 

data identified are classified to protect 

vulnerabilities, design and performance 

parameters and similar critical 

information. 

3. 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 advanced capabilities.

Committee Management Officer for the 

Department of Defense, pursuant to 41

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Targeted Teacher 

Shortage Areas Nationwide Listing. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0595. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of an existing collection of 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 57. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 4,560. 

Abstract: This request is for approval 

of recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements that are contained in the 

Federal Family Education Loan 

Programs (FFELP) regulations, which 

address the targeted teacher deferment 

provision of the Higher Education Act of 

1965, as amended. The information 

collected is necessary for a State to 

support its annual request for 

designation of teacher shortage areas 

within the State. The collection of 

information from Chief State School 

Officers to support and document the 

request for teacher shortage areas within 

a given State can potentially enable 

student financial aid recipients to defer, 

reduce, or discharge loan debts and/or 

meet other specified obligations.
