NonMDE: Detector Sensing Unit (DSU)– 38A/B Laser sensors, DSU–330/B proximity sensors, Wireless Paveway Avionics Kit (WIPAK) interfaces for Enhanced Paveway II bombs, FMU– 139C/B electronic bomb fuzes, repair and return services, transportation, engineering services, and other support services. The estimated total cost was $231 million. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $151 million of this total. The original notification listed ‘‘kit’’ components to build one thousand (1,000) GBU–48 (1,000-lb) Enhanced Paveway IIs (EPII) (MDE items), three hundred (300) GBU–49 (500-lb) EPIIs (MDE items), and one thousand and twenty-five (1,025) GBU–12 (500-lb) Paveway II (PWII) (MDE items). Each ‘‘kit’’ includes a Computer Control Group (CCG) and Air Foil Group (AFG) to convert a general purpose bomb into EPII or PWII. This transmittal reports the replacement of one thousand (1,000) MAU–210 E/B (MDE items) with one thousand (1,000) MAU–210 F/B (MDE items) for the GBU–48 1,000-lb EPII and three hundred (300) MAU–210 E/B (MDE items) with three hundred (300) MAU–210 F/B (MDE items) for the GBU–49 500-lb EPII, to reflect the change from Lot 3A to Lot 5 for the moving target variant CCGs being procured to build EPIIs. This transmittal also supplements the description of the AFGs kit components to include one thousand (1,000) MXU– 667 H/B AFGs for the GBU–48 and three hundred (300) MXU–650 K/B AFGs for the GBU–49. This transmittal also increases the number of FMU–152 A/B fuzes (MDE items) from one thousand three hundred and fifty (1,350) to four thousand three hundred and sixty five (4,365) to match the total number of JDAM and Paveway Kits. The numbers reflect their substitution for FMU–139 C/B fuzes (non-MDE) previously notified. The upgrade of the MAUs from Lot 3A to Lot 5, enumerating the MDE status of the tail groups, and increasing the number of fuzes will result in a net increase in the MDE cost of $49 million. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:14 Jan 16, 2018 Jkt 244001 The total case value will increase to $280 million. (iv) Significance: This notification reports the replacement of the EPII MAU–210E/B with the EPII MAU– 210F/B, the further clarification of AFGs for EPIIs, and upgrades the fuze type from FMU–139 C/B to FMU–152 A/B for this sale. Upgrading these MDE items results in an increase in capability over what was originally notified. The MAU– 210F/B adds 3–D proportional navigation, improved accuracy for high speed (>70 mph) and maneuvering targets, wider laser field of view, and an improved Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This transmittal provides information about the airfoil groups required to match the total number of EPIIs notified on Transmittal 15–33. The sensitivity of technology statement contained in the original transmittal applies to the FMU–152 A/B reported here. (v) Justification: The proposed sale improves NATO members’ capability to meet current and future ground threats with precision. They will use the enhanced capacity as a deterrent to regional threats, and to increase interoperability within contingency operations. Many of the purchasing nations already have precision-guided munitions in their inventories and will have no difficulty absorbing these additional munitions. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to NATO. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

Title of Collection: Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) 109: Teachers’ Use of Technology for School and Homework Assignments—Preliminary Activities. OMB Control Number: 1850–0857. Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,100. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,161. Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) requests OMB approval to conduct teacher list collection and district recruitment for the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) 109 survey on teachers’ use of technology for school and homework assignments in public schools. NCES is conducting this FRSS survey as part of the IES response to the request in the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA, 20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) to provide information about the educational impact of access to digital learning resources (DLRs) outside of the classroom. The expanding use of technology affects the lives of students both inside and outside the classroom. For this reason, the role of technology in education is an increasingly important area of research. While access to technology can provide valuable learning opportunities to students, technology by itself does not guarantee successful outcomes. Schools and teachers play an important role in successfully integrating technology into teaching and learning. Findings from the FRSS 109 study will provide insight on the types and availability of DLRs outside of the classroom, and will contribute to IES legislatively mandated report on the educational impact of access to DLRs outside the classroom.
