• Projects primarily focused on 

production of non-engineered cells or 

tissues as therapeutics; 

• Projects involving straightforward 

scale-up of biopharmaceuticals with 

incremental improvements in the 

manufacturing processes; 

• Projects that involve incremental 

improvements in traditional processes 

for biomolecule production (e.g. vaccine 

production in chicken eggs, hormones 

such as insulin extracted from pig 

tissue); 

• Biomanufacturing projects that 

primarily focus on processes for 

production of non-biopharmaceutical 

products (e.g. production of biofuels or 

small molecule drugs); 

• Projects that primarily focus on 

drug discovery or design of new 

biomaterials; 

• Projects that primarily focus on 

discovery of new production cell 

systems; 

• Projects that use living genetically 

modified vertebrate animals, 

invertebrate animals, or plants as 

bioreactors for biopharmaceutical 

production; 

• Production or scale up of scaffolds 

or biomaterials used in scaffold design 

that are not a part of the manufacturing 

of engineered tissues; and 

• Projects that do not have a primary 

focus (people, equipment, time and/or 

funds) on addressing specific process 

bottlenecks. 

Finally, NIST is clarifying that the 

white paper ‘‘Manufacturing and 

Biomanufacturing: Materials Advances 

and Critical Processes’’ referenced in the 

description of Area of Critical National 

Need: Manufacturing (75 FR 20327) 

only provides background information 

related to the selection of this Critical 

National Need and the associated 

societal challenges; it does not 

specifically describe the scope of the 

Notice of Availability of Funds. 

Administrative Procedure Act and 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior notice 

and comment are not required under 5 

U.S.C. 553, or any other law, for rules 

relating to public property, loans, 

grants, benefits or contracts (5 U.S.C. 

553(a)). Because prior notice and an 

opportunity for public comment are not 

required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any 

other law, the analytical requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, 

a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required and has not been prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 4/9/2010 (75 FR 18164–18165), 

the Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled published a notice of proposed 

additions to the Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

a product and services and impact of the 

addition on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that a product and services 

listed below is suitable for procurement 

by the Federal Government under 41 

U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will provide a 

product and services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to provide a 

product and services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in 

connection with this product and 

services proposed for addition to the 

Procurement List. 

End of Certification 

Accordingly, the following product 

and services are added to the 

Procurement List: 

Product 

Wooden Trunk Locker 

NSN: 8460–00–243–3234. 

NPA: Employment Source, Inc., Fayetteville, 

NC. 

Contracting Activity: Defense Logistics 

Agency, Defense Supply Center 

Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. 

Coverage: C-List for 50% of the requirements 

for the Defense Supply Center 

Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. 

The Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant 

to statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Committee regulations 

states that for a commodity or service to 

be suitable for addition to the 

Procurement List (PL) each of the 

following criteria must be satisfied: 

employment potential; nonprofit agency 

qualifications, capability, and level of 

impact on the current contractor for the 

commodity or service. 

Comments were received from a 

commercial company that claims to 

have previously provided this product 

to the government. The company stated 

that they are not currently providing the 

product to the government; however, 

placing this item on the PL would 

impact them since they would lose the 

opportunity to possibly provide this 

product to the government in the future. 

Prior to placing a product or service on 

the PL, the Committee considers impact 

on the current or most recent contractor. 

The Committee does not consider 

impact on any contractor that may have 

ever provided a product or service to the 

government—only the current or most 

recent contractor. The Committee 

cannot speculate on the possibility of 

particular companies being selected to 

provide products and services to the 

government in the future. 

The commenter also asserted that 

there is collusion between the nonprofit 

agency and another small business 

competitor that will result in its 

competitor enjoying a profitable 

subcontract forever if the commercial 

portion of the trunk locker requirement 

is added to the PL. Based on a review, 

the Committee is satisfied that the 

nonprofit agency complied with its 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

33270 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Notices 

regulations requiring broad competition 

in selecting its small business 

subcontractor to supply parts and 

provide painting support. The nonprofit 

agency solicited at least three offers and 

made a best value selection of its 

subcontractor and is expected to show 

competition for its subcontractor every 

five years. 

The Committee’s responsibility under 

the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 

46–48c) is to promote employment 

opportunities for people who are blind 

or with other severe disabilities that 

have an unemployment rate far above 

people without severe disabilities. The 

Committee followed its regulatory 

requirements in considering this project 

and has determined that this project is 

suitable for addition to the PL. Addition 

of this project to the PL will result in 

employment for people who are blind or 

with other severe disabilities.
