Policy Justification
Belgium—AIM–9X–2 SIDEWINDER
MISSILES
The Government of Belgium has
requested a possible sale of 40 AIM–9X–
2 Sidewinder Block II All-Up-Round
Missiles, 36 CATM–9X–2 Captive Air
Training Missiles, 2 CATM–9X–2 Block
II Missile Guidance Units, and 10 AIM–
9X–2 Block II Tactical Guidance Units,
4 Dummy Air Training Missiles,
containers, missile support and test
equipment, provisioning, spare and
repair parts, personnel training and
training equipment, publications and
technical data, U.S. Government and
contractor technical assistance and
other related logistics support, and other
related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated cost is
$68 million.
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
which continues to be an important
force for political stability and economic
progress in Europe.
The Belgian Air Force (BAF) intends
to obtain these AIM–9X missiles as part
of an overall military modernization
program to better support its own air
defense needs and to improve its
interoperability with the U.S. and other
NATO allies. The BAF will have no
difficulty absorbing the AIM–9X
missiles into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this weapon
system will not alter the basic military
balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Raytheon Missile Systems Company in
Tucson, Arizona. There are no known
offset requirements in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require travel of U.S. Government
or contractor representatives to Belgium
on a temporary basis for program
technical support and management
oversight.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Type of Review: Extension without
change of an existing collection of
information.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 57.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,560.
Abstract: This request is for approval
of recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that are contained in the
Federal Family Education Loan
Programs (FFELP) regulations, which
address the targeted teacher deferment
provision of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended. The information
collected is necessary for a State to
support its annual request for
designation of teacher shortage areas
within the State. The collection of
information from Chief State School
Officers to support and document the
request for teacher shortage areas within
a given State can potentially enable
student financial aid recipients to defer,
reduce, or discharge loan debts and/or
meet other specified obligations.
