elements of logistics support. The
estimated total cost is $85.6 million.
This proposed sale is consistent with
U.S. law and policy as expressed in
Public Law 96–8.
This proposed sale serves U.S.
national, economic, and security
interests by supporting the recipient’s
continuing efforts to maintain a credible
defensive capability. The proposed sale
will help improve the security of the
recipient and assist in maintaining
political stability, military balance, and
economic progress in the region.
The proposed sale will contribute to
the modernization of the recipient’s
capability to meet current and future
threats as it will be able to employ a
highly reliable and effective system to
increase their warfighting effectiveness,
as needed, which can counter or deter
aggressions by demonstrated precision
against air targets. This equipment will
contribute to the recipient’s goal of
updating its military capability while
further enhancing interoperability with
the United States and other allies. The
recipient will have no difficulty
absorbing this equipment into its armed
forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Raytheon Missiles and Defense, Tucson,
AZ. The recipient has requested offsets.
At this time, agreements are
undetermined and will be defined in
negotiations between the recipient and
the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the permanent
assignment of any additional U.S.
Government or contractor
representatives to recipient. Support
teams will travel to recipient on a
temporary basis.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
3. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of

information could be used to develop
countermeasures or equivalent systems,
which might reduce system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made
that the recipient can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released as the U.S. Government.
This sale is necessary in furtherance of
the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the
Policy Justification.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Number: DoD’s Defense Industrial Base

Number 0704–0490.
Needs and Uses: DoD’s DIB CS
Program enhances and supports DIB CS
participants’ capabilities to safeguard
DoD information that resides on, or
transits, DIB unclassified information
systems. The operational
implementation of this Program requires
DoD to collect, share, and manage point
of contact (POC) information for
Program administration and
management purposes. The Government
will collect typical business POC
information from all DIB CS participants
to facilitate communication and share
cyber threat information. To implement
and execute this Program within their
companies, DIB CS participants provide
POC information to DoD during the
application process to join the Program.
This information includes company
name and identifiers such as cage code
and mailing address, employee names
and titles, corporate email addresses,
and corporate telephone numbers of
company-identified POCs. DIB CS
Program POCs include the Chief

Executive Officer (CEO), CIO, Chief
Information Security Officer (CISO), and
Corporate or Facility Security Officer, or
their equivalents, as well as those
administrative, policy, technical staff,
and personnel designated to interact
with the Government in executing the
DIB CS Program (e.g., typically 3–10
company designated POCs however the
upper limit is at the company’s
discretion). After joining the Program,
DIB CS participants provide updated
POC information to DoD when
personnel changes occur.
The DIB CS Program implements
statutory authorities to established
programs and activities to protect
sensitive DoD information, including
when such information resides on or
transits information systems operated by
contractors in support of DoD activities.
Authorities include 32 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 236, ‘‘DoD’s DIB CS
Activities,’’ which authorizes the
voluntary DIB CS Information Sharing
Program. In addition, the Federal
Information Security Modernization Act
of 2014 authorizes DoD to oversee
agency information security policies
and practices, for systems that are
operated by DoD, a contractor of the
Department, or another entity on behalf
of DoD that process any information, the
unauthorized access, use, disclosure,
disruption, modification, or destruction
of which would have a debilitating
impact on DoD’s mission. Activities
under this information collection policy
also support DoD’s critical
infrastructure protection
responsibilities, as the sector specific
agency for the DIB sector (see
Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD–
21), ‘‘Critical Infrastructure Security and
Resilience,’’ available at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/
2013/02/12/presidential-policydirective-critical-infrastructure-securityand-resil.
The DIB CS Program is focused on
sharing cyber threat information and
cybersecurity best practices with DIB CS
participants. DoD needs to collect POC
information to implement, manage, and
administer the Program, and to share
cyber threat information with
participants. The Government will
collect business POC information from
all DIB CS participants to facilitate
emails, teleconferences, meetings, and
other Program activities.
The DIB CS Program uses a web portal
(https://dibnet.dod.mil) to gather POC
information from DoD contractors when
they elect to participate in the Program.
Companies select the ‘‘DIB CS Member
Login’’ button to start the application
process. Applicants will then be
prompted to sign into the application
