POLICY JUSTIFICATION

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

The Republic of Korea (ROK) has
requested a possible sale of 3 Aegis
Shipboard Combat Systems, 3 MK–41
Vertical Launching Systems, 3 Common
Data Link Management Systems, 3 AN/
UPX–29(V) Identification Friend or Foe
Interrogators, spare and repair parts,
support equipment, publications and
technical documentation, personnel
training and training equipment, tool
and test equipment, U.S. Government
and contractor technical, engineering,
and logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistics support.
The total estimated cost is $1.91 billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
meeting the legitimate security and
defense needs of an ally and partner
nation. The ROK is one of the major
political and economic powers in East
Asia and the Western Pacific and a key
partner of the United States in ensuring
peace and stability in that region. It is
vital to the U.S. interest to assist our
Korean ally in developing and
maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability.
The Aegis Combat System will
provide enhanced capabilities on the
ROK’s naval ships to defend against
possible aggression and protect sea lines
of communications. Aegis is the
keystone in the ROK Navy’s efforts to
upgrade its shipboard combat and
ballistic missile defense capability. The
ROK will have no difficulty integrating
this system into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be

Training in Morristown, New Jersey;

to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
5. A determination has been made
that the recipient country can provide
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.
6. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to the
Republic of Korea.

Comment Request; Landowner
Release for Poles Removed From BPA
Transmission System
Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA), Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Proposed information collection
and request for comments.
AGENCY:

BPA is seeking comments on
a proposed submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance of a collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. BPA collects information from
landowners or other members of the
public who accept treated wood utility
transmission poles. These poles are
removed from the transmission system
when they are no longer of use to BPA.
The information collected will
document and facilitate transfer of the
poles, which minimizes BPA’s
environmental liability. At the time of
information collection, BPA also
provides the recipients with consumer
information regarding treated wood and
use restrictions required by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).

SUMMARY:

Comments must be received on
or before August 24, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
submitted by mail to Christopher M.
Frost, CGC–7, Bonneville Power
Administration, 905 NE. 11th Avenue,
Portland, Oregon 97232, or by email at
[email protected].

compliance determined that this

existing collection does not have an
OMB number. BPA collects information
from landowners or other members of
the public who accept treated wood
utility transmission poles. These poles
are removed from the transmission
system when they are no longer of use
to BPA. The information collected will
document and facilitate transfer of the
poles, which minimizes BPA’s
environmental liability. At the time of
information collection, BPA also
provides the recipients with consumer
information regarding treated wood and
use restrictions required by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The relevant form, Form BPA F
4300.07d, collects the following
information: Intended use for poles
(fence post, retaining wall, or
landscaping), acknowledgement of
receipt of consumer information sheet,
acknowledgement of use limitations,
acknowledgement of wood treatment
type (creosote, pentachlorophenol,
copper napthanate, or other as
specified), and name and contact
information. No third party notification
or public disclosure burden is
associated with this collection.
II. Request for Comments
BPA requests that you send your
comments to the location listed in the
ADDRESSES section above. Your
comments should address:
(a) The necessity of the information
collection for the proper performance of
BPA’s functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden (hours and costs) of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways we could enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(d) Ways we could minimize the
burden of the collection of information,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number. Comments may be
made available to the public, including
your address, phone number, and email
address. You may request that we
withhold your personally identifiable
information, but we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to do so.
