POLICY JUSTIFICATION ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES Georgia—Javelin Missiles The Government of Georgia has requested to buy eighty-two (82) Javelin FGM–148 Missiles; and forty-six (46) Javelin Command Launch Units (CLU). Also included are Enhanced Producibility Basic Skills Trainers; Missile Simulation Rounds; Security Assistance Management Directorate Technical Assistance; Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Project Office Technical Assistance; other associated equipment and services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $30 million. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of Georgia which is a strategic partner and a key contributor to security and stability the region. The Javelin system will help Georgia build its longterm defense capacity to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity in order to meet its national defense requirements. The proposed sale will improve Georgia’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing its antiarmor capacity. Georgia will have no difficulty absorbing these weapons into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The prime contractors will be Raytheon/Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint Venture of Orlando, Florida, and Tucson, Arizona. However, these articles are being provided from U.S. Army stock. There are no known offset agreements proposed in conjunction with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Georgia. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:12 Feb 13, 2023 Jkt 259001 Transmittal No. 21–48 Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) 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. 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. To facilitate initial loading and subsequent updating of software, all on-board missile software is uploaded via the CLU after mating and prior to launch. 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 highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET. PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 Georgia can provide substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive technology being released as the U.S. Government. This proposed sale is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification. 8. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release and export to the Government of Georgia.

[FR Doc. 2023–03093 Filed 2–13–23; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP23–14–000] Wyoming Interstate Company, LLC; Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Diamond Mountain Abandonment Project On November 10, 2022, Wyoming Interstate Company LLC. (WIC) filed an application in Docket No. CP23–14–000 requesting authorization pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to abandon certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the Diamond Mountain Abandonment Project (Project) and consists of WIC’s proposal to abandon in-place a compressor station and associated equipment and facilities in Uintah County, Utah. According to WIC, the proposed abandonment is due to the decline of natural gas production in the Uintah basin, and the absence of bids submitted during open season. WIC would continue to operate the existing mainline block valve at the compressor station site after the abandonment. On November 24, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal authorizations of the PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9513 requirement to complete all necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s environmental document for the Project. This notice identifies Commission staff’s intention to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule for the completion of the environmental review.1 Schedule for Environmental Review Issuance of EA—May 19, 2023 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline 2—August 17, 2023 If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project’s progress. Project Description The Project is located in Uintah County, Utah. Proposed work includes disconnecting piping from compressor units, draining oil and coolant from the turbines, draining water from the domestic and heating systems, disconnecting power, removing applicable station valves and the turbine surge valve. WIC would complete all work within the existing gravel station yard and would access the station from the existing facility access roads. No ground disturbing activities are proposed. WIC would remove and repurpose components of the abandoned facility for use at other Kinder Morgan affiliate pipelines. Background On January 27, 2023, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Diamond Mountain Abandonment Project and Notice of Public Scoping Session (Notice of Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. To date, the Commission has not received comments in response to the Notice of Scoping. 1 40 CFR 1501.10 (2020). Commission’s deadline applies to the decisions of other federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally delegated authority, that are responsible for federal authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission’s deadline for other agency’s decisions applies unless a schedule is otherwise established by federal law. 2 The E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1
