POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Bahrain—Follow-On Technical Support 

(FOTS) for the Royal Bahrain Navy Ship 

SABHA (FFG–90) 

The Government of Bahrain has 

requested to buy items and services in 

support of Follow-On Technical 

Support (FOTS) for the Royal Bahrain 

Navy Ship SABHA (FFG–90), formerly 

the USS Jack Williams (FFG–24), 

transferred as Excess Defense Article on 

September 13, 1996. Also includes 

engineering, technical, and logistics 

services, documentation, and 

modification material for U.S. Navy 

supplied systems and equipment and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated 

program value is $70 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

regional partner which is an important 

security partner in the region. 

Bahrain intends to use this support in 

order to keep the ship in operational 

readiness status for coastal defense and 

security. Bahrain will have no difficulty 

absorbing this support into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

There is no prime contractor involved 

in this proposed sale. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require approximately three (3) U.S. 

Government and six (6) contractor 

representatives to travel to Bahrain for 

an extended period for equipment 

fielding, systems 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.

STATUS: Open. While the Government in 

the Sunshine Act does not require that 

the scheduled hearing be conducted in 

a meeting, the Defense Nuclear 

Facilities Safety Board has determined 

that an open meeting and hearing 

furthers the public interests underlying 

both the Government in the Sunshine 

Act and the Board’s enabling legislation.

the provisions of the ‘‘Government in 

the Sunshine Act’’ (5 U.S.C. 552b), and

(1) the objectives of and intended 

improvements to be accomplished by 

DOE Order 140.1, Interface with the 

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; 

(2) DNFSB access to information, 

facilities, and personnel; and (3) 

potential impacts to the DNFSB resident 

inspector program. 

In session 1, the Board will hear the 

Secretary of Energy’s (or his designee’s) 

position on interface between the 

DNFSB and DOE. The Board and the 

Secretary of Energy will discuss the 

objectives and intended improvements 

for accomplishment through the 

development of Order 140.1. In session 

2, the Board will hear testimony 

regarding access to information, 

facilities, and personnel including 

potential impacts to the DNFSB resident 

inspector program. The Board and the 

panel of participants will discuss 

changes in access to information, 

facilities, and personnel as a result of 

DOE Order 140.1; intended changes 

from the DOE interface manual to the 

Order and execution challenges; and 

potential impacts to the DNFSB resident 

inspector program as a result of DOE 

Order 140.1. 

The agenda for the hearing is posted
