of Public Scoping Meetings; 

Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

SUMMARY: This action makes a 

correction to a notice published on 

December 21, 2011. The notice 

referenced a control date of March 7, 

2011; however the correct date is April 

7, 2011. This notice inserts the correct 

April 7, 2011, control date, as intended. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Travis Ford, Fishery Management 

Specialist, 978–281–9233. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement and announced public 

scoping meetings for the New England 

Fishery Management Council’s 

(Council) Amendment 18 to the 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan (Amendment 18) on 

December 21, 2011 (76 FR 79153). The 

subject document contained an error 

that needs to be corrected. 

In the background information for the 

December 21, 2011 notice there is a 

reference to a March 7, 2011 control 

date for the NE multispecies fishery. 

Because the date reflects the wrong 

month, therefore, NMFS, through this 

notice, corrects the control date to April 

7, 2011. Other published materials 

referencing the control date reflect the 

correct date of April 7, 2011. 

Correction 

The NOI published on December 21, 

2011, in FR Doc. 2011–32694, on page 

79154, in column 2, in the first full 

paragraph, line 2, correct the month 

‘‘March’’ to read as ‘‘April.’’

Policy Justification 

Poland—F–16 Follow-On Support and 

Additional Munitions 

The Government of Poland has 

requested a possible sale of 93 AIM–9X– 

2 SIDEWINDER Block II Tactical 

Missiles, 4 CATM–9X–2 Captive Air 

Training Missiles, 65 AIM–120C–7 

Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air

(500 lb) General Purpose Bombs, 127 

MK–82 (500 lb) General Purpose Bombs, 

80 BLU–117 (2000 lb) General Purpose 

Bombs, 4 MK–84 (2000 lb) Inert General 

Purpose Bombs, 9 F–100–PW–229 

Engine Core Modules, 28 Night Vision 

Devices plus 6 spare intensifier tubes, 

12 Autonomous Air Combat 

Maneuvering Instrumentation P5 pods, 

a Joint Mission Planning System, and 

five years of follow-on support and 

sustainment services for Poland’s F–16 

fleet, spare and repair parts, support and 

test equipment, publications and 

technical documentation, system 

overhauls and upgrades, personnel 

training and training equipment, U.S. 

Government and contractor technical 

support, and other related elements of 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$447 million. 

Poland is an important ally in 

Northern Europe, contributing to NATO 

activities and ongoing U.S. interests in 

the pursuit of peace and stability. 

Poland’s efforts in peacekeeping 

operations in Iraq and Afghanistan 

continue to serve U.S. national security 

interests. It is vital to the U.S. national 

interest to assist Poland to develop and 

maintain a strong and ready self-defense 

capability. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Poland’s capability to meet current and 

future operational needs. The upgrade 

will allow Poland to continue to bolster 

its regional leadership while increasing 

NATO interoperability. Poland already 

has these missiles and munitions in its 

inventory and will have no difficulty 

absorbing the additional systems into its 

armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractors will be 

Raytheon Corporation in Tucson, 

Arizona, Raytheon Corporation in 

Waltham, Massachusetts, The Boeing 

Company in St. Charles, Missouri, 

McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in 

McAlester, Oklahoma, and United 

Technologies Corporation in Hartford, 

Connecticut. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Poland. 

However, periodic travel to Poland will 

be required on a temporary basis in 

conjunction with program, technical, 

and management oversight and support 

requirements. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

the U.S. defense readiness as a result of 

this proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 11–54 

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 SIDEWINDER 

Block II Missile represents a substantial 

increase in missile acquisition and 

kinematics performance over the AIM– 

9M and replaces the AIM–9X–1 Block I 

missile configuration. The missile 

includes a high off bore-sight 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 counter-countermeasures 

capabilities. No software source code or 

algorithms will be released. 

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. The GBU–54 is a 2000lb Joint 

Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) variant 

that includes a DSU–40 Laser Sensor. 

The GBU–54 uses global position 

system aided inertial navigation and/or 

laser detection to guide to threat targets. 

The Laser sensor enhances the standard 

JDAM’s reactive target capability by 

allowing rapid prosecution of fixed 

targets with large initial target location 

errors (TLE). The DSU–40 Laser sensor 

also provides the capability to engage 

some mobile targets. The DSU–40 Laser 

sensor is attached to an MK–84 or BLU– 

117 bomb body in the forward fuze well. 

The addition of the DSU–40 Laser 

sensor, combined with additional 

cabling and mounting hardware, turns a 

standard GBU–31 JDAM into a GBU–54 

Laser JDAM. Information that might 

reveal target designation tactics and 

associated aircraft maneuvers, the 

probability of destroying specific/ 

peculiar targets, vulnerabilities 

regarding countermeasures, and the 

electromagnetic environment is 

classified Secret. 

4. The JDAM is actually a guidance kit 

that converts existing unguided free-fall 

bombs into precision-guided ‘‘smart’’ 

munitions. By adding a new tail section 

containing Inertial Navigation System 

(INS) guidance/Global Positioning 

System (GPS) guidance to unguided 

bombs, the cost effective JDAM provides 

highly accurate weapon delivery in any 

‘‘flyable’’ weather. The INS, using 

updates from the GPS, helps guide the 

bomb to the target via the use of 

movable tail fins. 

5. The AIM–120C Advanced Medium 

Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is 

a guided missile featuring digital 

technology and micro-miniature solidstate electronics. The AMRAAM 

capabilities include look-down/shootdown, multiple launches against 

multiple targets, resistance to electronic 

countermeasures, and interception of 

high- and low-flying and maneuvering 

targets. The AMRAAM All Up Round 

(AUR) is classified Confidential. The 

major components and subsystems 

range from Unclassified to Confidential, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

9902 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 2012 / Notices 

and technical data and other 

documentation are classified up to 

Secret. 

6. 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.
