Computer Control Groups for 1,000-lb 

Enhanced Paveway IIs, three hundred 

(300) MAU 210 E/B Computer Control 

Groups for GBU–49s, one thousand 

twenty-five (1,025) MAU 169 L/B 

Computer Control Groups for GBU–12s, 

one thousand three hundred fifty (1,350) 

Joint Programmable Fuzes, FMU–152 

A/B, sixty (60) Bomb Fin Assembly and 

Airfoil Group 650–MXU K/B for GBU– 

12s, one thousand twenty-five (1,025) 

Bomb Fin Assembly and Airfoil Group, 

MXU–650 K/B AFG for GBU–12s. NonMDE: Detector Sensing Unit (DSU)– 

38A/B Laser sensors, DSU–330/B 

proximity sensors, Wireless Paveway 

Avionics Kit (WIPAK) interfaces for 

Enhanced Paveway II bombs, FMU– 

139C/B electronic bomb fuzes, repair 

and return services, transportation, 

engineering services, and other support 

services. The estimated total cost was 

$231 million. Major Defense Equipment 

(MDE) constituted $151 million of this 

total. 

The original notification listed ‘‘kit’’ 

components to build one thousand 

(1,000) GBU–48 (1,000-lb) Enhanced 

Paveway IIs (EPII) (MDE items), three 

hundred (300) GBU–49 (500-lb) EPIIs 

(MDE items), and one thousand and 

twenty-five (1,025) GBU–12 (500-lb) 

Paveway II (PWII) (MDE items). Each 

‘‘kit’’ includes a Computer Control 

Group (CCG) and Air Foil Group (AFG) 

to convert a general purpose bomb into 

EPII or PWII. 

This transmittal reports the 

replacement of one thousand (1,000) 

MAU–210 E/B (MDE items) with one 

thousand (1,000) MAU–210 F/B (MDE 

items) for the GBU–48 1,000-lb EPII and 

three hundred (300) MAU–210 E/B 

(MDE items) with three hundred (300) 

MAU–210 F/B (MDE items) for the 

GBU–49 500-lb EPII, to reflect the 

change from Lot 3A to Lot 5 for the 

moving target variant CCGs being 

procured to build EPIIs. 

This transmittal also supplements the 

description of the AFGs kit components 

to include one thousand (1,000) MXU– 

667 H/B AFGs for the GBU–48 and three 

hundred (300) MXU–650 K/B AFGs for 

the GBU–49. 

This transmittal also increases the 

number of FMU–152 A/B fuzes (MDE 

items) from one thousand three hundred 

and fifty (1,350) to four thousand three 

hundred and sixty five (4,365) to match 

the total number of JDAM and Paveway 

Kits. The numbers reflect their 

substitution for FMU–139 C/B fuzes 

(non-MDE) previously notified. 

The upgrade of the MAUs from Lot 

3A to Lot 5, enumerating the MDE status 

of the tail groups, and increasing the 

number of fuzes will result in a net 

increase in the MDE cost of $49 million. 

The total case value will increase to 

$280 million. 

(iv) Significance: This notification 

reports the replacement of the EPII 

MAU–210E/B with the EPII MAU– 

210F/B, the further clarification of AFGs 

for EPIIs, and upgrades the fuze type 

from FMU–139 C/B to FMU–152 A/B for 

this sale. Upgrading these MDE items 

results in an increase in capability over 

what was originally notified. The MAU– 

210F/B adds 3–D proportional 

navigation, improved accuracy for high 

speed (>70 mph) and maneuvering 

targets, wider laser field of view, and an 

improved Inertial Measurement Unit 

(IMU). This transmittal provides 

information about the airfoil groups 

required to match the total number of 

EPIIs notified on Transmittal 15–33. The 

sensitivity of technology statement 

contained in the original transmittal 

applies to the FMU–152 A/B reported 

here. 

(v) Justification: The proposed sale 

improves NATO members’ capability to 

meet current and future ground threats 

with precision. They will use the 

enhanced capacity as a deterrent to 

regional threats, and to increase 

interoperability within contingency 

operations. Many of the purchasing 

nations already have precision-guided 

munitions in their inventories and will 

have no difficulty absorbing these 

additional munitions. The proposed sale 

of this equipment and support will not 

alter the basic military balance in the 

region. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to NATO. 

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. 

defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Title of Collection: Fast Response 

Survey System (FRSS) 109: Teachers’ 

Use of Technology for School and 

Homework Assignments—Preliminary 

Activities. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0857. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,100. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,161. 

Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) requests 

OMB approval to conduct teacher list 

collection and district recruitment for 

the Fast Response Survey System 

(FRSS) 109 survey on teachers’ use of 

technology for school and homework 

assignments in public schools. NCES is 

conducting this FRSS survey as part of 

the IES response to the request in the 

Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 

(ESSA, 20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) to 

provide information about the 

educational impact of access to digital 

learning resources (DLRs) outside of the 

classroom. The expanding use of 

technology affects the lives of students 

both inside and outside the classroom. 

For this reason, the role of technology 

in education is an increasingly 

important area of research. While access 

to technology can provide valuable 

learning opportunities to students, 

technology by itself does not guarantee 

successful outcomes. Schools and 

teachers play an important role in 

successfully integrating technology into 

teaching and learning. Findings from 

the FRSS 109 study will provide insight 

on the types and availability of DLRs 

outside of the classroom, and will 

contribute to IES legislatively mandated 

report on the educational impact of 

access to DLRs outside the classroom.
