Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Notices 64125

The SBA regulations imposing this 

requirement are found at 13 CFR 

121.406 (b). Section 8(a)(17)(b)(iv) of the 

Act authorizes SBA to waive the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for any ‘‘class of 

products’’ for which there are no small 

business manufacturers or processors 

available to participate in the Federal 

market. 

As implemented in SBA’s regulations 

at 13 CFR 121.1204, in order to be 

considered available to participate in 

the Federal market for a class of 

products, a small business manufacturer 

must have submitted a proposal for a 

contract solicitation or received a 

contract from the Federal government 

within the last 24 months. The SBA 

defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on six 

digit coding systems. The first coding 

system is the Office of Management and 

Budget North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The 

second is the Product and Service Code 

established by the Federal Procurement 

Data System. 

The SBA received a request on June 

29, 2004 to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Power-Driven Handtools 

Manufacturing. In response, on July 28, 

2004, SBA published in the Federal 

Register, and FedBizOpps notices of 

intent to the waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Power-Driven 

Handtools Manufacturing. 

In responses to these notices, SBA 

discovered the existence of a small 

business manufacturer of that class of 

products. Accordingly, based on the 

available information, SBA has 

determined that there is a small 

business manufacturer of this class of 

products, and is therefore terminating 

the class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Power-Driven Handtools 

Manufacturing, NAICS 333991.

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17).

Dated: October 27, 2004.

Acting Deputy Associate Administrator for 

Office of Government Contracting.
