POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Iraq—M1135 Stryker Nuclear, 

Biological, and Chemical 

Reconnaissance Vehicles 

The Government of Iraq has requested 

a possible sale of 50 M1135 Stryker 

Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical 

Reconnaissance Vehicles, DECON 3000 

Decontamination Systems, M26 

Commercial Joint Service Transportable 

Decontamination Systems (JSTDS), AN/ 

VRC-89 Single Channel Ground and 

Airborne Radio Systems (SINCGARS) 

with Global Positioning System (GPS), 

AN/VRC-90 SINCGARS with GPS, 

M40A1 Protective Masks, Lightweight 

Personal Chemical Detectors LCD-3, 

Portable Chemical Warfare Agent 

Detectors GID-3, MultiRAE PLUS Gas 

Detectors, AN/VDR-2 Radiac Sets, M256 

Chemical Agent Detector Kits, 

Decontamination Kits, Chemical 

Biological Mask Canisters, M8 Chemical 

Paper Agent Detector Kits, water 

canteens, individual clothing and 

equipment, spare and repair parts, 

support equipment, communication 

equipment, publications and technical 

data, personnel training and training 

equipment, site surveys, a Quality 

Assurance Team, U.S. Government and 

contractor technical assistance, and 

other related elements of program and 

logistics support. The estimated cost is 

$900 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 strategic 

partner. This proposed sale will 

contribute to Iraq’s stability and 

sovereignty by increasing its situational 

awareness and ability to identify 

potential Chemical, Biological, 

Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) 

agents. This proposed sale directly 

supports the Iraqi government and 

serves the interests of the Iraqi people 

and the United States. 

This equipment provides the Iraqi 

Army CBRN reconnaissance units with 

reliable capabilities for early warning of 

contamination by radiological, 

biological, and chemical material. 

Overall, these systems meet the 

requirements of providing the Iraqi 

Army with the ability to conduct CBRN 

reconnaissance techniques of search, 

survey, surveillance, and sampling to 

reduce the effects of exposure to these 

hazardous agents. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors involved in 

this program are General Dynamics 

Land System of Sterling Heights, 

Michigan; Karcher Futuretech of 

Schwailheim, Germany; DRS 

Technologies of Florence, Kentucky; 

Smiths Detection of Danbury, 

Connecticut; and Federal Resources of 

Stevensville, Maryland. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require approximately 35 U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to travel to Iraq for a 

period of up 2 years to provide 

management and training. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

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

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: Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) 2013–2016. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0582. 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing collection of information. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 71,867. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 929,530. 

Abstract: The Integrated 

Postsecondary Education Data System 

(IPEDS) is a web-based data collection 

system designed to collect basic data 

from all postsecondary institutions in 

the United States and the other 

jurisdictions. IPEDS enables NCES to 

report on key dimensions of 

postsecondary education such as 

enrollments, degrees and other awards 

earned, tuition and fees, average net 

price, student financial aid, graduation

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 153 / Thursday, August 8, 2013 / Notices 48431 

rates, revenues and expenditures, 

faculty salaries, and staff employed. The 

IPEDS web-based data collection system 

was implemented in 2000–01, and it 

collects basic data from approximately 

7,500 postsecondary institutions in the 

United States and the other jurisdictions 

that are eligible to participate in Title IV 

Federal financial aid programs. All Title 

IV institutions are required to respond 

to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 

102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title 

IV) institutions to participate on a 

voluntary basis. About 200 elect to 

respond. IPEDS data are available to the 

public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. The 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) seeks authorization to continue 

its IPEDS data collection. Current 

authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB 

No. 1850–0582). We are requesting a 

new clearance for the 2014–15 and 

2015–16 data collections now in order 

to provide institutions advanced notice 

of changes to the current data collection. 

Because the already approved 2013–14 

IPEDS data collection has not yet taken 

place, we are carrying over the 

documentation and estimated burden 

associated with the 2013–14 data 

collection.

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.
