This proposed sale directly supports the Iraq government and serves the interests of the Iraqi people and the United States. The proposed sale will contribute to Iraq’s continued efforts toward rebuilding its airfield systems at Tikrit, Al Basra, Al Kut, and Taji Air Bases for near-term basing of multiple aircraft. The renovations and upgrades to the airfields and systems will allow for greater ease in launch and recovery of aircraft and will enhance the overall sustainment to aircraft and affiliated systems. This equipment aids Iraq’s continuing reconstruction effort and directly improves Iraq’s ability to control its own airspace. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor is unknown and will be determined through a competitive process. 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 Iraq. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC–603, Critical Energy Infrastructure Information Request OMB Control No.: 1902–0197 Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC–603 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements. Abstract: This collection is used by the Commission to implement procedures for gaining access to critical energy infrastructure information (CEII) that would not otherwise be available under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). On February, 21, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 630 (66 FR 52917) to address the appropriate treatment of CEII in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to restrict unrestrained general access due to the ongoing terrorism threat. These steps enable the Commission to keep sensitive infrastructure information out of the public domain, decreasing the likelihood that such information could be used to plan or execute terrorist attacks. The process adopted in Order No. 630 is a more efficient alternative for handling requests for previously public documents than FOIA. The Commission has defined CEII to include information about ‘‘existing or proposed critical infrastructure that (i) relates to the production, generation, transportation, transmission, or distribution of energy; (ii) could be useful to a person planning an attack on critical infrastructure; (iii) is exempt from mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, and (iv) does not simply give the location of the critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructure means existing and proposed systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, the incapacity or destruction of which would negatively affect security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. A person seeking access to CEII may file a request for that information by providing information about their identity and reason as to the need for the information. Through this process, the Commission is able to review the requester’s need for the information against the sensitivity of the information. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory. Type of Respondents: Persons seeking access to CEII. Estimate of Annual Burden 1: The Commission estimates the total Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as: provide information to or for a Federal agency. For further explanation of what is included in the information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal Regulations 1320.3.
