Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Notices
#3045–0170). Information will be
collected from a nationally
representative sample of AmeriCorps
alumni who served in AmeriCorps
NCCC, AmeriCorps VISTA, and
AmeriCorps State and National
programs and completed their most
recent term of service 2, 5, or 10 years
ago.
Information will be collected from
AmeriCorps Alumni through an online
survey that will be administered by a
contractor on behalf of CNCS. The
purpose of the survey is to better
understand the long-term civic
participation and career pathways of
AmeriCorps alumni, the acquisition of
hard and soft career skills obtained
through national service, and the
utilization of the Education Award and
its effect on future post-secondary
outcomes and career choices. These data
may also be matched to administrative
data collected by the US Census for the
Longitudinal Employment and
Household Data Set and by the National
Student Clearinghouse in order to assess
both employment and education
outcomes within the national
population. In addition, the agency is
interested in exploring how member
outcomes vary by life stage and by
different types of service experiences.
This survey is also an opportunity to
determine the value of data collected
from alumni who are at different stages
following their service year for
informing policy and program
decisions. CNCS also seeks to continue
using the current clearance until the
revised survey is approved by OMB.
The current clearance is due to expire
on 4/30/18.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval. Comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal

systems support and test equipment;
spare and repair parts; publications and
technical documentation; training and
training equipment; U.S. Government
and contractor engineering; logistics and
technical support services; and other
related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated cost is
$62 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
helping to improve the security of a
friendly country which has been, and
continues to be, an important force for
political stability and economic progress
in the Middle East.
The proposed sale allows the U.S.

of Oman, further strengthen the U.S.Omani military-to-military relationship,
and ensure continued interoperability of
forces and opportunities for bilateral
training and exercises with Oman’s
military forces.
This proposed sale of items and
services will enable Oman’s twentythree (23) F–16s currently using Mode 4
IFF to become interoperable on Mode
4/5. Mode 5 IFF allows U.S. and partner
airborne and surface armed forces to
conduct complimentary air operations.
Incremental OFP software upgrades
required to support Mode 5 will provide
additional incremental improvement for
other associated F–16 subsystems.
Oman will have no difficulty in

fleet.
This proposed sale of equipment and
support will not alter the basic military
balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be
Lockheed Martin of Fort Worth, Texas.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in conjunction with this
