revenue below $7,000,000 or, if they are 

institutions controlled by small 

governmental jurisdictions (that are 

comprised of cities, counties, towns, 

townships, villages, school districts, or 

special districts), with a population of 

less than 50,000. The Urban Institute’s 

National Center for Charitable Statistics 

reported that of 173,172 nonprofit 

organizations that had an educational 

mission and reported revenue to the 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by 

December 2011, 168,669 (over 97 

percent) had revenues of less than 

$5 million. In addition, there are 12,358 

LEAs in the country that meet the SBA’s 

definition of small entity. While these 

entities are eligible to apply for funding 

under the TIF program, the Secretary 

believes that only a small number of 

them will apply. In the FY 2010 TIF 

competition, approximately 23 

nonprofit organizations applied for 

funding in partnership with an LEA or 

SEA, and few of these organizations 

appeared to be a small entity. The 

Secretary has no reason to believe that 

a future competition under this program 

would be different. To the contrary, we 

expect that the FY 2012 competition 

will be similar to the FY 2010 

competition because only a limited 

number of nonprofit organizations are 

working actively on the development of 

PBCSs and many of these organizations 

are larger organizations. Thus, the 

likelihood that the priorities, 

requirements, definitions, and selection 

criteria proposed in this notice would 

have a significant economic impact on 

small entities is minimal. 

In addition, the Secretary believes 

that the priorities, requirements, 

definitions, and selection criteria 

proposed in this notice do not impose 

any additional burden on a small entity 

applying for a grant than the entity 

would face in the absence of the 

proposed action. That is, the length of 

the applications those entities would 

submit in the absence of the proposed 

regulatory action and the time needed to 

prepare an application would be 

comparable if the competition relied 

exclusively on the selection criteria in 

34 CFR 75.210 for this competition. 

Further, this proposed regulatory 

action may help a small entity 

determine whether it has the interest, 

need, or capacity to implement 

activities under the program and, thus, 

prevent a small entity that does not have 

such an interest, need, or capacity from 

absorbing the burden of applying. 

This proposed regulatory action 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a small entity once it receives 

a grant because it would be able to meet 

the costs of compliance using the funds 

provided under this program and with 

any matching funds provided by 

private-sector partners. 

The Secretary invites comments from 

small nonprofit organizations and small 

LEAs as to whether they believe this 

proposed regulatory action would have 

a significant economic impact on them 

and, if so, requests evidence to support 

that belief. 

Intergovernmental Review 

This program is subject to the 

requirements of Executive Order 12372

federalism. The Executive order relies 

on processes developed by State and 

local governments for coordination and 

review of proposed Federal financial 

assistance.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Public Availability of Department of 

Energy FY 2011 Service Contract 

Inventory 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Public Availability of 

FY 2011 Service Contract Inventories. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 

743 of Division C of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 

111–117), the Department of Energy 

(DOE) is publishing this notice to advise 

the public of the availability of the FY 

2011 Service Contract inventory. This 

inventory provides information on 

service contract actions over $25,000 

that were made in FY 2011. The 

information is organized by function to 

show how contracted resources are 

distributed throughout the agency. The 

inventory has been developed in 

accordance with guidance issued on 

November 5, 2010 by the Office of 

Management and Budget’s Office of 

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP). 

OFPP’s guidance is available at http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/ 

omb/procurement/memo/servicecontract-inventories-guidance11052010.pdf. On December 19, 2011, 

OFPP issued additional guidance 

available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ 

sites/default/files/omb/procurement/ 

memo/service-contract-inventoryguidance.pdf. 

Except for minor changes to reporting 

deadlines, the guidance for preparing 

and analyzing FY 2011 inventories is 

essentially unchanged from OFPP’s 

November 5, 2010 guidance for 

preparing the FY 2010 inventory. DOE 

has posted its inventory and a summary 

of the inventory at: http://energy.gov/ 

management/downloads/servicecontract-inventory. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions regarding the service contract 

inventory should be directed to Jeff 

Davis in the Strategic Programs Division 

at 202–287–1877 or
