Subsection (d) authorizes a waiver if the Secretary of Defense determines that application of the limitation ‘‘would impede the reciprocal procurement of defense items under a memorandum of understanding providing for reciprocal procurement of defense items’’ and if the Secretary of Defense determines that ‘‘that country does not discriminate against defense items produced in the United States to a greater degree than the United States discriminates against defense items produced in that country.’’ The Secretary of Defense has delegated the waiver authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534(d) to the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics). DoD has had a Reciprocal Defense Procurement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UK since 1975, most recently renewed on December 17, 2014. The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) finds that the UK does not discriminate against defense items produced in the United States to a greater degree than the United States discriminates against defense items produced in the UK, and also finds that application of the limitation in 10 U.S.C. 2534 against defense items produced in the UK would impede the reciprocal procurement of defense items under the MOU. Under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) has determined that application of the limitation of 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) to the procurement of any defense item produced in the UK that is listed below would impede the reciprocal procurement of defense items under the MOU with the UK. On the basis of the foregoing, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) is waiving the limitation in 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) for procurements of any defense item listed below that is produced in the UK. This waiver applies to procurements under solicitations issued during the period from October 6, 2015 to October 4, 2016. Similar waivers have been granted since 1998, most recently in 2014 (79 FR 11770, March 3, 2014). List of Items to Which This Waiver Applies 1. Air circuit breakers. 2. Gyrocompasses. 3. Electronic navigation chart systems. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:14 Sep 18, 2015 Jkt 235001 4. Steering controls. 5. Pumps. 6. Propulsion and machinery control systems. 7. Totally enclosed lifeboats.

Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 2000. Average Burden per Response: 60 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 2000 hours. Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is being submitted as an emergency. The primary objective of this research, broadly speaking, is to inform future U.S. government efforts in countering violent extremism, with the goal of the project being to better understand views of political activism in the Middle East and, more specifically, to identify factors that dissuade individuals from supporting violent extremist groups. The focus groups and surveys will identify what factors dissuade individuals from supporting violent extremist groups or inhibit support for violence more generally. The information collection will be initiated at a time of relative peace in Yemen, but this country has experienced active conflict since April 2015 so the focus groups and survey must be administered at a time when some stability has returned to the country. Due to the fluid nature in the stability of the country, SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and the need to move quickly once a window of opportunity opens, the Department is bypassing the 60-day public comment period.

ACTION: Notice of an altered system of records. AGENCY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Department of Education (Department) publishes this notice of an altered system of records entitled ‘‘Data Challenges and Appeals Solutions (DCAS) System,’’ which will replace the ‘‘Electronic Cohort Default Rate Appeals (eCDR Appeals)’’ system of records. On October 31, 2014, the Secretary published final regulations in the Federal Register that apply to educational programs that are eligible to participate in the student financial assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), because these programs ‘‘prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56969 occupation’’ (GE regulations). The GE regulations establish a new program eligibility measure and disclosure requirements. As a result, Federal Student Aid (FSA) will be responsible for many more data challenges, requests for adjustments, and appeals in the coming years. The DCAS System is the enhanced successor system to the eCDR Appeals system and will be implemented in phases to include all appeals, requests for adjustments and challenges related to institutional cohort default rates (CDRs), the GE regulations, and other student-level data initiatives. After FSA fully implements all phases of the DCAS System, FSA will retire the prior information technology system that housed the eCDR Appeals data. In addition to the records described above, the DCAS System will contain records regarding borrowers who have applied for and received loans under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. The Department seeks comment on the altered system of records described in this notice, in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act. DATES: We must receive your comments about this altered system of records on or before October 21, 2015. The Department filed a report describing the altered system of records covered by this notice with the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on September 10, 2015. This altered system of records will become effective upon the later date of: (1) The expiration of the 40-day period for OMB review on October 21, 2015; or (2) October 21, 2015, unless the altered system of records needs to be changed as a result of public comment or OMB review. ADDRESSES: Address all comments about this altered system of records to Nikki Harris, Operation Performance Division, Gainful Employment Staff, Federal Student Aid, U.S. Department of Education, Union Center Plaza, 830 First Street NE., Room 62A4, Washington, DC 20202–5353.
