SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; 

Associated Form; and OMB Number: 

Involuntary Allotment Application; DD 

Form 2653; OMB Control Number 0730– 

0018. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 2,783. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 2,783. 

Average Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,392. 

Needs and Uses: This collection of 

information is in response to requests 

for involuntary allotments. Before 

responding to a request, the responsible 

government official must have 

information that identifies both the 

applicant and the member against 

whom the involuntary allotment is 

sought; proves that the request is based 

on a valid court judgment; shows that 

the judgment comports with the 

provision of the Soldiers and Sailors 

Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and enables 

consideration for whether exigencies of 

military duty caused the absence of the 

member from a judicial proceeding 

upon which the judgment is based. 

Apart from information concerning 

exigencies of military duty, an applicant 

for an involuntary allotment must 

provide required information before a 

government official can act on the 

applicant’s request. The information 

from the DD Form 2653 is used by 

DFAS officials to determine whether an 

involuntary allotment should be 

established against the pay of a member 

of the Armed Forces. The information is 

used to provide government reviewing 

officials with necessary information to 

ensure that both the law and due 

process considerations are accounted 

for, including information sufficient for 

a decision maker to determine that the 

request is based on a valid judgment 

and that the SCRA has been complied 

with. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On occasion.

contractor engineering, technical and 

logistics support services, studies and 

surveys; and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $502 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a NATO 

ally that is a force for political stability 

and economic progress in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Romania’s capability to meet current 

and future threats by bolstering its 

operational readiness while enhancing 

air and defense capabilities with a 

modernized fleet. Romania has F–16s in 

its inventory and will have no difficulty 

absorbing these aircraft and equipment 

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 

Lockheed Martin, Fort Worth, TX. 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 Romania. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The F–16 Block 10/15 Mid Life 

Update (MLU) aircraft is an advanced, 

single engine multi-role fighter aircraft. 

The configuration and capability 

modifications for the F–16 MLU aircraft 

include an avionics package for the 

Romania specific M6.5.2 Core 

Operational Flight Plan (OFP) Baseline, 

Communications and Identification for 

M6.5.2, navigation aids, advanced 

cockpit, mission planning, electronic 

warfare and integrated logistics 

supportability. 

2. The LAU–129 Guided Missile 

Launcher provides mechanical and 

electrical interface between an AIM–9 

Sidewinder or AIM–120 AMRAAM 

missile and the aircraft. 

3. The KY–58 is a secure voice 

module primarily used to encrypt radio 

communication to and from military 

aircraft and other tactical vehicles. 

4. The KIV–78 is a cryptographic 

applique for IFF. It can be loaded with 

Mode 5 classified elements. 

5. The AN/PYQ–10 Simple Key 

Loader is a handheld device used for 

securely receiving, storing, and 

transferring data between compatible 

cryptographic and communications 

equipment. 

6. The Joint Mission Planning System 

(JMPS) is a multi-platform, PC-based 

mission planning system.

product is not releasable to the 

customer. 

9. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

10. 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. 

11. A determination has been made 

that Romania 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. 

12. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been
