(iii) Description: On December 18,
2013, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal
number 13–68, of the possible sale
under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms
Export Control Act of C–130J technical,

program, including additional

distribution support for unclassified and
classified software. Extending the
sustainment case will result in an
increase in non-MDE cost of $123
million. The total case value will
increase to $230 million.
(iv) Significance: The addition of this
funding to Norway’s C–130J
sustainment program represents an
increase in capability over what was
originally notified. The proposed sale
will allow Norway to continue to
effectively maintain its current fleet of
C–130J fleet.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale
will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by
helping to improve the security of a
NATO ally. Norway intends to use this
technical, engineering, and software
support to provide successful operation
of the PFPS and JMPS. This program
will increase Norway’s ability to
contribute to future NATO operations,
support U.S. national security interests,
and strengthen a critical, long-term
strategic military partnership.

the RNLAF’s ability to continue
contributions to Overseas Contingency
Operations and to NATO air policing
operations, as well as, to possible future
coalitions operations. The Netherlands
will have no difficulty absorbing this
training.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
