Description of Requested Input CNCS is inviting formal input from the public concerning the update of the current CNCS Strategic Plan. The goal of the Strategic Plan update is to accurately reflect CNCS’s strategic and programmatic priorities for the next 4 years. CNCS’ current Strategic Plan [https:// www.nationalservice.gov/about/ strategic-plan] leverages the strength of grantees, participants, programs, state service commissions and the American public to build a network of programs that offer effective solutions in the six priority areas: • Disaster Services • Economic Opportunity • Education • Environmental Stewardship • Healthy Futures • Veterans and Military Families We will produce these results by investing in effective local initiatives, engaging more Americans in service, supporting evidence-based programs, and leveraging public-private partnerships. In addition to these priority focus areas, CNCS has four strategic goals, with accompanying priority measures: Goal 1: Increase the impact of national service on community needs in communities served by CNCS-supported programs. Goal 2: Strengthen national service so that participants engaged in CNCSsupported programs consistently find satisfaction, meaning and opportunity. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42051 Goal 3: Maximize the value we add to grantees, partners and participants. Goal 4: Fortify management operations and sustain a capable, responsive and accountable organization. In updating its Strategic Plan, CNCS is seeking to be even more effective in achieving Goals 1–4 and its impact in the six priority focus areas. Specifically, CNCS is requesting comments in the following areas: • How might the Strategic Plan be updated to reflect current community priorities? • What is working well and should be further enhanced? • What has shown promise and should have a more prominent place in the updated plan? • What is less relevant in today’s environment, allowing resources to be focused elsewhere?

The estimated cost is $1.2 billion. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of Saudi Arabia which has been, and continues to be, an important force for stability in the Middle East. This sale of Mark V patrol boats will give the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) an effective combat and threat deterrent capability to protect maritime infrastructure in the Saudi littorals. This acquisition will enhance the stability and security operations for boundaries and territorial areas encompassing the Saudi Arabian coastline. The purchase of Mark V patrol boats represents an upgrade and modernization of the RSNF’s existing patrol boat capability. The proposed sale will enhance interoperability between the U.S. and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and will contribute to the stability in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the region. The Mark V patrol boats will provide additional capability to rapidly identify, engage, and defeat maritime security threats in the nearoffshore region of the Saudi littorals. The boats will be used primarily to patrol and interdict intruders in Saudi territorial seas, and recognized economic exclusion zones. Saudi Arabia will have no difficulty absorbing these additional boats. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor for this effort has not yet been determined. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will require an additional three to four U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Saudi Arabia for a period of seven years to provide logistics and technical support and warranty work during delivery of the boats. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
