Morocco—Javelin Missiles
The Government of Morocco has
requested to buy six hundred twelve
(612) Javelin FGM–148F missiles
(includes twelve (12) fly-to-buy
missiles) and two hundred (200) Javelin
Lightweight Command Launch Units
(LWCLUs). Also included are missile
simulation rounds; Javelin support
equipment; hand and measuring tools;
books and publications; power plus
distribution equipment; component
parts and support equipment; life cycle
support and other technical assistance;
gunner training; ammunition officer’s
training; System Integration and
Checkout (SICO); maintenance training;
Tactical Aviation and Ground
Munitions (TAGM); and other related
elements of logistics and program
support. The total estimated cost is $260
million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security of
the United States by helping to improve
the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally
that continues to be an important force
for political stability and economic
progress in North Africa.
The proposed sale will improve
Morocco’s long-term defense capacity to
defend its sovereignty and territorial
integrity and to meet its national
defense requirements. Morocco will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be the
Javelin Joint Venture between Lockheed
Martin in Orlando, FL, and RTX
Corporation in Tucson, AZ. There are
no known offset agreements in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of U.S.
Government or contractor
representatives to Morocco.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Transmittal No. 23–56
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. The Javelin Weapon System is a
medium-range, man portable, shoulderlaunched, fire and forget, anti-tank
system for infantry, scouts, and combat
engineers. It may also be mounted on a
variety of platforms including vehicles,
aircraft, and watercraft. The system
weighs 49.5 pounds and has a
maximum range in excess of 2,500
meters. The system is highly lethal
against tanks and other systems with
conventional and reactive armors. The
system possesses a secondary capability
against bunkers.
2. Javelin’s key technical feature is the
use of fire-and-forget technology which
allows the gunner to fire and
immediately relocate or take cover.
Additional special features are the top
attack and direct fire modes, an
advanced tandem warhead and imaging
infrared seeker, target lock-on before
launch, and soft launch from enclosures
or covered fighting positions. The
Javelin missile also has a minimum
smoke motor that decreases the chance
of it being detected on the battlefield.
3. The Javelin Weapon System is
comprised of two major tactical
components, a reusable Light Weight
Command Launch Unit (LWCLU) and a
round contained in a disposable launch
tube assembly. The LWCLU
incorporates an integrated day/night
sight that provides target engagement
capability in adverse weather and
countermeasure environments. The
LWCLU may also be used in a standalone mode for battlefield surveillance
and target detection. The LWCLU’s
thermal sight includes an advanced
Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor.
To facilitate initial loading and
subsequent updating of software, all onboard missile software is uploaded via
the LWCLU after mating and prior to
launch.
4. The missile is autonomously
guided to the target using an imaging
infrared seeker and adaptive correlation
tracking algorithms. This allows the
gunner to take cover or reload and
engage another target after firing a
missile. The missile has an advanced
tandem warhead and can be used in
either the top attack or direct fire modes
(for target under cover). An onboard
flight computer guides the missile to the
selected target.

5. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
6. If a technologically advanced
adversary obtains knowledge of the
specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures or
equivalent systems 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 Morocco can provide substantially
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This proposed
sale is necessary to further the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
8. All defense articles and services
listed on this transmittal are authorized
for release and export to the
Government of Morocco.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kenneth Pick, EIA Clearance Officer, at
(202) 586–5562. The forms and
instructions are available on EIA’s
website at www.eia.gov/survey/.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1905–0057;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Oil and Gas Reserves System;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension with changes;
(4) Purpose: The surveys included in
the Oil and Gas Reserves System collect
information on U.S. proved crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids
reserves. The surveys included in the
Oil and Gas Reserves System are the
Form EIA–64A, ‘‘Annual Report of the
Origin of Natural Gas Liquids
Production,’’ Form EIA–23L, ‘‘Annual
Report of Domestic Oil and Gas
Reserves,’’ and Form EIA–23S, ‘‘Annual
Survey of Domestic Oil and Gas
Reserves, (Summary Version)
(suspended).’’
In response to Public Law 95–91
section 657, estimates of U.S. oil and gas
reserves are to be reported annually.
Many U.S. Government agencies have
an interest in the definitions of proved
oil and gas reserves and the quality,
reliability, and usefulness of estimates
of reserves. Among these are the U.S.
Energy Information Administration
(EIA), Department of Energy; Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management (BOEM),
Department of Interior; Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), Department of the
Treasury; and the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Each of
these organizations has specific
purposes for collecting, using, or
estimating proved reserves. The EIA has
a congressional mandate to provide
accurate annual estimates of U.S.
proved crude oil, natural gas, and
natural gas liquids reserves, and EIA
presents annual reserves data in EIA
Web reports to meet this requirement.
The BOEM maintains estimates of
proved reserves to carry out their
responsibilities in leasing, collecting
royalty payments, and regulating the
activities of oil and gas companies on
Federal waters. Accurate reserve
estimates are important, as the BOEM is
second only to the IRS in generating
Federal revenue. For the IRS, proved
reserves and occasionally probable
reserves are an essential component of
calculating taxes for companies owning
or producing oil and gas. The SEC
requires publicly traded petroleum
companies to annually file a reserves
statement as part of their 10–K filing.
The basic purpose of the 10–K filing is
to give the investing public a clear and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

reliable financial basis to assess the
relative value, as a financial asset, of a
company’s reserves, especially in
comparison to other similar oil and gas
companies.
The Government also uses the
resulting information to develop
national and regional estimates of
proved reserves of domestic crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids to
facilitate national energy policy
decisions. These estimates are essential
to the development, implementation,
and evaluation of energy policy and
legislation. Data are used directly in EIA
Web reports concerning U.S. crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids
reserves, and are incorporated into a
number of other Web reports and
analyses;
(4a) Proposed Changes to Information
Collection:
Form EIA–23L, Annual Report of
Domestic Oil and Gas Reserves (Change
to Instructions)
EIA proposes a minor modification to
Form EIA–23L instructions to align the
disclosure language with other EIA
surveys, without substantially changing
the intention of the disclosure language.
Form EIA–64A, Annual Report of the
Origin of Natural Gas Liquids
Production (Change to Instructions)
EIA proposes six minor modifications
to Form EIA–64A instructions to clarify
the data requested:
1. Page 1 of the instructions
describing who must file the form
indicates that ‘‘facilities’’ refers to
natural gas processing plants. EIA
proposes adding ‘‘including gas
sweetening plants’’ to clarify the
respondent frame.
2. Page 4 of the instructions includes
a diagram to assist respondents when
filling out Section 2 of the form. EIA
proposes defining residue gas as ‘‘dry
natural gas after liquids extraction’’ in
the text describing the diagram. This is
the first place EIA uses the term residue
natural gas other than in the Section
title.
3. Page 4 of the instructions for
Section 2.1 request the total outlet of
residue natural gas. EIA proposes
clarifying the current definition of
residue natural gas from ‘‘dry gas’’ to
‘‘dry natural gas after liquids
extraction.’’
4. Page 4 of the instructions for
Section 2.2 request the total natural gas
used on site as plant fuel. EIA proposes
modifying the current instruction to
clarify that this data should include
natural gas that is used to generate
electricity consumed by the plant.

5. EIA proposes changing all instances
of ‘‘residue gas’’ to ‘‘residue natural gas’’
for consistency within the instructions.
6. Pages 6 and 7 of the instructions
include a form glossary. EIA proposes
adding a definition to this glossary for
gas sweetening plants: ‘‘A type of
natural gas processing plant designed
for removal of impurities such as
hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide,
sulfur, etc. from sour gas to make it
suitable for transport and use.’’
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 878;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 878;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 15,768;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $1,497,802
(15,768 estimated burden hours times
$94.99). EIA estimates that respondents
will have no additional costs associated
with the surveys other than the burden
hours and the maintenance of the
information during the normal course of
business.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
