2430 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Notices 

#3045–0170). Information will be 

collected from a nationally 

representative sample of AmeriCorps 

alumni who served in AmeriCorps 

NCCC, AmeriCorps VISTA, and 

AmeriCorps State and National 

programs and completed their most 

recent term of service 2, 5, or 10 years 

ago. 

Information will be collected from 

AmeriCorps Alumni through an online 

survey that will be administered by a 

contractor on behalf of CNCS. The 

purpose of the survey is to better 

understand the long-term civic 

participation and career pathways of 

AmeriCorps alumni, the acquisition of 

hard and soft career skills obtained 

through national service, and the 

utilization of the Education Award and 

its effect on future post-secondary 

outcomes and career choices. These data 

may also be matched to administrative 

data collected by the US Census for the 

Longitudinal Employment and 

Household Data Set and by the National 

Student Clearinghouse in order to assess 

both employment and education 

outcomes within the national 

population. In addition, the agency is 

interested in exploring how member 

outcomes vary by life stage and by 

different types of service experiences. 

This survey is also an opportunity to 

determine the value of data collected 

from alumni who are at different stages 

following their service year for 

informing policy and program 

decisions. CNCS also seeks to continue 

using the current clearance until the 

revised survey is approved by OMB. 

The current clearance is due to expire 

on 4/30/18. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. All written comments will 

be available for public inspection on

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Oman—F–16 Operational Flight Profile 

and Identification Friend or Foe Mode 5 

Upgrade 

The Government of Oman has 

requested a possible sale of items and 

services to support an incremental 

Operational Flight Profile (OFP) 

software upgrade for F–16 subsystems, 

as well as Identification Friend or Foe 

(IFF) and secure communications 

equipment for Mode 5 operations on 

twenty-three (23) F–16 aircraft. NonMDE items and services consist of 

twenty-nine (29) KIV–78 cryptographic/ 

timing modules (twenty-three (23) 

installed and six (6) spares); twentynine (29) KY–100M cryptographic radio 

encryptors (twenty-three (23) installed 

and six (6) spares); twenty-nine (29) 

AN/APX–126 Combined Interrogator 

Transponders (twenty-three (23) 

installed and six (6) spares); Classified 

and Unclassified Computer Program 

Identification Numbers (CPINS) 

upgrades; OFP upgrades for IFF Mode 5 

capable systems, Joint Mission Planning 

(JMPS) upgrade; Sniper Advanced 

Targeting Pod software, service support, 

support equipment, spares, and training; 

systems support and test equipment; 

spare and repair parts; publications and 

technical documentation; training and 

training equipment; U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering; logistics and 

technical support services; and other 

related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$62 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

friendly country which has been, and 

continues to be, an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in the Middle East. 

The proposed sale allows the U.S. 

military to support the Royal Air Force 

of Oman, further strengthen the U.S.- 

Omani military-to-military relationship, 

and ensure continued interoperability of 

forces and opportunities for bilateral 

training and exercises with Oman’s 

military forces. 

This proposed sale of items and 

services will enable Oman’s twentythree (23) F–16s currently using Mode 4 

IFF to become interoperable on Mode 

4/5. Mode 5 IFF allows U.S. and partner 

airborne and surface armed forces to 

conduct complimentary air operations. 

Incremental OFP software upgrades 

required to support Mode 5 will provide 

additional incremental improvement for 

other associated F–16 subsystems. 

Oman will have no difficulty in 

absorbing these upgrades into its F–16 

fleet. 

This proposed sale of equipment and 

support will not alter the basic military 

balance in the region. 

The prime contractor will be 

Lockheed Martin of Fort Worth, Texas. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in conjunction with this 

potential sale. 

The proposed sale will not require the 

long-term assignment of any additional 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to Oman. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 17–50 

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. This proposed sale of items and 

services to upgrade Oman’s F–16 

aircraft will involve the release of 

sensitive technology related to the 

Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) and 

secure communications equipment. 

2. The AN/APX–126 Combined 

Interrogator Transponder is an IFF dual 

Mode 4 and 5 capable system. It is 

UNCLASSIFIED unless/until Mode 4 

and/or Mode 5 operational evaluator 

parameters are loaded into the 

equipment, which are classified up to 

SECRET. Classified elements of the IFF 

system include software object code, 

operating characteristics, parameters, 

and technical data. Mode 4 and Mode 5 

anti-jam performance specifications/ 

data, software source code, algorithms, 

and tempest plans or reports will not be 

offered, released, discussed, or 

demonstrated. 

3. KIV–78 is a crypto applique ́ for 

Mode 5 IFF. The hardware is 

UNCLASSIFIED unless loaded with 

Mode 4 and/or Mode 5 classified 

elements, which are classified up to 

SECRET. 

4. KY–100M is a cryptographic 

encryptor for voice radios to provide 

secure communication capabilities. The 

hardware is UNCLASSIFIED unless 

loaded with cryptograph keys, which 

are classified up to SECRET. 

5. Joint Mission Planning System 

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

mission planning system. JMPS 

hardware is UNCLASSIFIED, but the 

software is 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 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Notices 2433 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

7. A determination has been made 

that Oman 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. 

8. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Oman.
