are expected to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other

Background
CNCS has contracted with Abt
Associates to support CNCS’s Office of
Research and Evaluation to implement a
process evaluation of the Social
Innovation Fund (SIF) Pay for Success
(PFS) Grant Program. The major data
collection activities to be undertaken
subject to this notice will include two
surveys: (1) Grantee Survey, and (2)
Subgrantee/Subrecipient Survey. Survey
information will be collected from
current and future SIF PFS grantees and
their subgrantees/subrecipients through
an online survey program. The purpose
of the Grantee Survey is to better
understand grantees’ program structure,
practices in providing technical
assistance and deal structuring
activities. The Subgrantee/Subrecipient
Survey will collect data on activities,
capacity, and perspectives and
experiences of subgrantees/
subrecipients receiving technical
assistance from the grantees.
Current Action
Type of Review: New.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: Process Evaluation of the Social
Innovation Fund (SIF) Pay for Success
(PFS) Grant Program.
OMB Number: None.

Affected Public: Current and future
CNCS-funded SIF PFS grantees (mostly
nonprofit organizations) and current
and future community organizations
and state or local government agencies
(referred to as subgrantees/
subrecipients).
Total Respondents: Approximately
260. This includes approximately 18
respondents to the Grantee Survey and
approximately 242 respondents to the
Subgrantee/Subrecipient Survey. The
exact number of respondents will
depend on the number of new grantees
funded by the SIF PFS program in 2015
and 2016 and the number of
subrecipients/subgrantees that each

grantee selects to work with each year
of their grant.
Frequency: Once per year. Each
respondent will complete the survey
annually for one to three years
depending upon the timing and
duration of their funding.
Average Time per Response: 20
minutes per year.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 151
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will

POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Republic of Korea—UGM–84L Block II
Harpoon Missiles
The Republic of Korea (ROK) has
requested a possible sale of:
Major Defense Equipment (MDE):
Nineteen (19) UGM–84L Harpoon Block
II All-Up-Round Missiles
Thirteen (13) Block II upgrade kits
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Also included are containers;
Guidance Control Units (GCU) spares;
recertification and reconfiguration
support; spare and repair parts; tools
and tool sets; support equipment;
personnel training and training
equipment; publication and technical
data; U.S. Government and contractor
engineering and logistical support
services; and other related elements of
logistics support. The estimated value of
MDE is $100 million. The total
estimated value is $110 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
meeting the legitimate security and
defense needs of an ally and partner
nation. The ROK is one of the major
political and economic powers in East
Asia and the Western Pacific and a key
partner of the United States in ensuring
peace and stability in that region. It is
vital to the U.S. interest to assist our
South Korean ally in developing and
maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability.
The ROK intends to use the Harpoon
Block II missiles to supplement its
existing Harpoon missile capability. The
acquisition of the Harpoon Block II
missiles and support will supplement
current weapon inventories and bring
the ROK Navy’s Anti-Surface Warfare
performance up to existing regional
baselines. The proposed sale will
provide a defensive capability while
enhancing interoperability with the
United States and other allied forces.
Sub-launched Harpoon missiles have
been used by the ROK since the 1990s.
The ROK will have no difficulty
absorbing these additional missiles into
its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be the
Boeing Company in St. Louis, Missouri.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposal sale
will not require any additional U.S.
government or U.S. contractor personnel
in Korea. However, U.S. Government or
contractor personnel in-country visits
will be required on a temporary basis in
conjunction with program technical
oversight and support requirements.
There will be no adverse impact on
United States defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.

elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures which
might reduce system effectiveness or be
used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made
that the recipient country can provide
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to the
Republic of Korea.

1. The UGM–84L Block II Harpoon
missile is a submarine launched AntiSurface Warfare (ASUW) missile that
provides naval forces with a capability

water’’ regions and the littorals of the
world. The Harpoon Block II missile,
including publications, documentation,
operations, supply, maintenance, and
training to be conveyed with this
proposed sale have the highest
classification level of SECRET. The
Harpoon Block II missile components
being conveyed by the proposed sale
that are considered sensitive and are
classified include:
a. The Radar seeker
b. The GPS/INS System
c. Operational Flight Program (OFP)
Software
d. Missile operational characteristics
and performance data
2. These elements are essential to the
ability of the Harpoon Block II missile
to selectively engage hostile targets
under a wide range of operational,
tactical and environmental conditions.
