no more than one fish may be a gag or
black grouper, combined. In Regulatory
Amendment 14, the Council is
considering alternatives to revise this
aggregate bag limit to provide for
increased recreational harvest
opportunities for gag and black grouper.
NMFS, in collaboration with the
Council, will develop a DEIS to describe
and analyze alternatives to address the
management needs described above.
Those alternatives will include a ‘‘no
action’’ alternative for each action. In
accordance with NOAA’s
Administrative Order 216–6, Section
5.02(c), Scoping Process, NMFS, in
collaboration with the Council, has
identified preliminary environmental
issues as a means to initiate discussion
for scoping purposes only. These
preliminary issues may not represent
the full range of issues that eventually
will be evaluated in the DEIS.
After the DEIS associated with
Regulatory Amendment 14 is
completed, it will be filed with the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). After filing, the EPA will publish
a notice of availability of the DEIS for
public comment in the Federal Register.
The DEIS will have a 45-day comment
period. This procedure is pursuant to
regulations issued by the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) for
implementing the procedural provisions
of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA; 40 CFR parts 1500–1508)
and to NOAA’s Administrative Order
216–6 regarding NOAA’s compliance
with NEPA and the CEQ regulations.

The Council and NMFS will consider
public comments received on the DEIS
in developing the final environmental
impact statement (FEIS), and before
voting to submit the final amendment to
NMFS for Secretarial review, approval,
and implementation. NMFS will
announce in the Federal Register the
availability of the final amendment and
FEIS for public review during the
Secretarial review period, and will
consider all public comments prior to
final agency action to approve,
disapprove, or partially approve the
final amendment.
NMFS will announce, through a
document published in the Federal
Register, all public comment periods on
the final amendment, its proposed
implementing regulations, and the
availability of its associated FEIS. NMFS
will consider all public comments
received during the Secretarial review
period, whether they are on the final
amendment, the proposed regulations,
or the FEIS, prior to final agency action.
Public Hearings, Times, and Locations
The Council will hold public hearings
to discuss the actions included in
Regulatory Amendment 14 in August
2013. Exact dates, times, and locations
will be announced by the Council. The
public will be informed, via a
notification in the Federal Register, of
the exact times, dates, and locations of
future scoping meetings and public
hearings for Regulatory Amendment 14.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Singapore—AIM–120C7 AMRAAM and
Related Support
The Government of Singapore has
requested a possible sale of 100 AIM–
120C7 Advanced Medium Range Air-toAir Missiles (AMRAAM), AMRAAM
Programmable Advanced System
Interface Simulator (PASIS), 10
AMRAAM Spare Guidance Sections, 18
AN/AVS–9(V) Night Vision Goggles, H–
764G with GEM V Selective Availability
Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM),
Common Munitions Built-in-Test
Reprogramming Equipment (CMBREPlus) in support of a Direct Commercial
Sale of new F–15SG aircraft. Also
included: containers, spare and repair
parts, support equipment, tools and test
equipment, publications and technical
documentation, personnel 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
$210 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by increasing the
ability of the Republic of Singapore to
contribute to regional security. Its
contributions to counter-piracy and
counterterrorism efforts continue to
stabilize a critical chokepoint where
much of the world’s goods and services
transit en route to and from the Asia
Pacific region. The proposed sale will
improve the security of a strategic
partner which has been, and continues
to be, an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Asia Pacific region. Specifically, this
proposed sale will improve the Republic
of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) air to
air capability and ability to defend its
nation and cooperate with allied air
forces
The Republic of Singapore requires
these missiles to meet current and
future threats of enemy aircraft.
Singapore is procuring, via Direct
Commercial Sale, new F–15SG aircraft.
The proposed sale will enhance RSAF’s
ability to operate with coalition forces
in bilateral and multilateral exercises
and potential air defense operations.
Singapore will use these capabilities as
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
a deterrent to regional threats and to
strengthen its homeland defense.
Singapore will have no difficulty
absorbing the AIM–120C7s 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
Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson,
Arizona; Honeywell Aerospace in
Phoenix, Arizona; ITT Night Vision in
Roanoke, Virginia; and ATK Defense
Electronic Systems in Clearwater,
Florida. There are no known offset
agreements proposed 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 Singapore.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 13–03
data and documentation to be provided
are Unclassified.
3. The Common Munitions Built-InTest (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment
(CMBRE) is a piece of support
equipment used to interface with
weapon systems to initiate and report
(BIT), results, and upload/download
flight software. CMBRE supports
multiple munitions platforms with a
range of applications that perform
preflight checks, periodic maintenance
checks, loading of Operational Flight
Program (OFP) data, loading of
munitions mission planning data,
loading of Global Positioning System
(GPS) cryptographic keys, and
declassification of munitions memory.
CMBRE is a system that manages data
and information classified up to Secret.
4. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
be used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AIM–120C Advanced Medium
Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is
a supersonic, air launched, aerial
intercept, guided missile featuring
digital technology and micro-miniature
solid-state electronics. The missile
employs active radar target tracking,
proportional navigation guidance, and
active radio frequency target detection.
It can be launched day or night, in any
weather and increases pilot
survivability by allowing the pilot to
disengage after missile launch and
engage other targets. AMRAAM
capabilities include lookdown/shoot
down, multiple launches against
multiple targets, resistance to electronic
countermeasures, and interception of
high- and low-flying and maneuvering
targets. The AMRAAM all-up-round
(AUR) is classified Confidential, major
components and subsystems range from
Unclassified to Confidential, and
technical data and other documentation
up to Secret.
2. The AN/AVS–9 Night Vision
Goggles (NVG) are 3rd generation
aviation NVG offering higher resolution,
high gain, and photo response to near
infrared. The hardware and technical
