POLICY JUSTIFICATION wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has requested a possible sale of a Foreign Military Sales Order (FMSO) II to provide funds for blanket order requisitions under the Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA), for spare parts in support of M1A2 Abrams Tanks, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), equipment, support vehicles and other related logistics support. The estimated cost is $300 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 friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East. This proposed sale will allow the Royal Saudi Land Forces Ordnance Corps to continue to purchase needed repair parts to maintain their fleet of M1A2S Abrams Tanks, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), construction equipment, and support vehicles and equipment. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. There are no prime contractors involved with this sale. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Saudi Arabia. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:17 Nov 29, 2012 Jkt 229001 There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Blanchard River Watershed is located in northwestern Ohio, with its headwaters originating in central Hardin County. The 771-square mile Blanchard River Watershed drains into the Auglaize River in Putnam County, Ohio. The Blanchard River Watershed is characterized by alluvial flatlands prone to flooding, with significant flood damages occurring frequently at Findlay and Ottawa over the last ten years. The Blanchard River has reached or exceeded major flood stage 23 times since 1913. Nine of these flood events have occurred since 1990. For events between 1990 and 2011, five are among the top ten stages ever recorded; three have peaked at more than three feet over major flood stage; and one (an event occurring in August 2007) reached a peak that was only 0.04 feet less than the maximum peak stage ever recorded in 1913. Damages during the August 2007 event alone were estimated by the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership to be roughly $60 million in the Findlay area and $20 million in the Ottawa area.
