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.

**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
