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.

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.

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.
