Arms Export Control Act.
POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Australia—Javelin Missiles
The Government of Australia has
requested to buy two hundred (200)
Javelin FGM-148E missiles with U.S.
Government technical assistance and
other related elements of logistics and
program support. The total estimated
cost is not to exceed $46 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States. Australia
is one of our most important allies in
the Western Pacific. The strategic
location of this political and economic
power contributes significantly to
ensuring peace and economic stability
in the region.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF)
is seeking to fill a short-term shortfall in
its Javelin missile inventory in order to
maintain the appropriate level of
readiness. Australia will not have any
difficulty absorbing these missiles into
its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
These missiles will be provided from
U.S. Army stocks. There are no known
offsets associated with this sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of U.S.
Government or contractor
representatives to Australia.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 20–73
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b) of the
Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The Javelin Weapon System is a
medium-range, man portable, shoulderlaunched, fire-and-forget, anti-tank
system for infantry, scouts, and combat
engineers. It may also be mounted on a
variety of platforms including vehicles,
aircraft and watercraft. The system
weighs 49.5 pounds and has a
maximum range in excess of 2,500
meters. The system is highly lethal
against tanks and other systems with
conventional and reactive armors. The
system possesses a secondary capability
against bunkers.
2. Javelin’s key technical feature is the
use of fire-and-forget technology, which
allows the gunner to fire and
immediately relocate or take cover.

Jkt 253001
Additional special features are the top
attack and/or direct fire modes, an
advanced tandem warhead and imaging
infrared seeker, target lock-on before
launch, and soft launch from enclosures
or covered fighting positions. The
Javelin missile also has a minimum
smoke motor thus decreasing its
detection on the battlefield.
3. The Javelin Weapon System is
comprised of two major tactical
components, which are a reusable
Command Launch Unit (CLU) and a
round contained in a disposable launch
tube assembly. The CLU incorporates an
integrated day-night sight that provides
a target engagement capability in
adverse weather and countermeasure
environments. The CLU may also be
used in a stand-alone mode for
battlefield surveillance and target
detection. The CLU’s thermal sight is a
second generation Forward Looking
Infrared (FLIR) sensor.
4. The missile is autonomously
guided to the target using an imaging
infrared seeker and adaptive correlation
tracking algorithms. This allows the
gunner to take cover or reload and
engage another target after firing a
missile. The missile has an advanced
tandem warhead and can be used in
either the top attack or direct fire modes
(for target undercover). An onboard
flight computer guides the missile to the
selected target.
5. The Javelin Missile System
hardware and the documentation are
UNCLASSIFIED.
6. If a technologically advanced
adversary obtains knowledge of the
specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures or
equivalent systems that might reduce
weapon system effectiveness or be used
in the development of a system with
similar or advanced capabilities.
7. A determination has been made
that Australia can provide substantially
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This proposed
sale is necessary to further the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
8. All defense articles and services
listed on this transmittal are authorized
for release and export to the
Government of Australia.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
2021 Auburn A-Line Abandonment and
Capacity Replacement Project, proposed
by Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), in the above-referenced
docket. Northern requests authorization
to construct, own, and operate a
pipeline loop 1 and appurtenant
aboveground facilities, and abandon-inplace a segment of its A-line pipeline in
Nebraska. Northern’s purpose for the
project is to improve reliability, enable
safer long-term operation of Northern’s
system, and serve the needs of its
shippers more effectively by eliminating
inefficiencies associated with the
operation and maintenance of the A-line
segment.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction, operation, and
abandonment activities associated with
the 2021 Auburn A-Line Abandonment
and Capacity Replacement Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that
approval of the proposed project, with
appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The proposed 2021 Auburn A-Line
Abandonment and Capacity
Replacement Project includes the
following:
• Construction of approximately 4.4
miles of new 8-inch-diameter pipeline
loop in Lancaster and Otoe Counties,
Nebraska (proposed B-line);
• installation of a pig 2 launcher and
valve station in Lancaster County,
Nebraska;
• installation of a regulation station
in Otoe County, Nebraska; and
• abandonment in-place of
approximately 31.7 miles of 4- and 6inch-diameter A-line in Lancaster, Otoe,
Johnson, and Nemaha counties,
Nebraska.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability to federal, state,
and local government representatives
and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. The EA is only available in
electronic format. It may be viewed and
downloaded from the FERC’s website
(www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas
environmental documents page (https://
www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be
accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC’s website. Click on the
eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/
eLibrary/search), select General Search
and enter the docket number in the
Docket Number field, excluding the last
three digits (i.e. CP20–479). Be sure you
have selected an appropriate date range.

The EA is not a decision document.
It presents Commission staff’s
independent analysis of the
environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of all issues in
this proceeding. Any person wishing to
comment on the EA may do so. Your
comments should focus on the EA’s
disclosure and discussion of potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
