applicability of paragraph (2) or (3) of
that subsection, only if the waiver is
made for a particular item listed in
subsection (a) and for a particular
foreign country. 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.

Number: Middle East Focus Groups and

minutes.

Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement is being

primary objective of this research,

U.S. government efforts in countering
violent extremism, with the goal of the

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
