executing on BOX, such increase will 

represent a large percentage increase for 

BOX but it will represent a minimal 

reduction in volume of its larger 

competitors in the industry. The 

Exchange believes that the Program will 

help further competition, because 

market participants will have yet 

another additional option in 

determining where to execute orders 

and post liquidity if they factor the 

benefits of the Program and BOX equity 

participation into the determination. 

Finally, the Program will increase the 

diversity of ownership of Holdings such 

that no one entity will have a majority 

ownership of Holdings. Upon the 

issuance of Class C Units to Subscribers, 

the ownership of Holdings will be 

distributed among more holders. If there 

is full participation in the Program, then 

the ownership of Holdings by current 

Unitholders will be diluted and no 

single Unitholder will have a majority 

ownership of Holdings.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Small Business Size Standards: 

Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Scientific 

Vacuum Pumps. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is considering 

granting a class waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Scientific 

Vacuum Pumps. On October 1, 2014, 

SBA received a request that a class 

waiver be granted for scientific vacuum 

pumps under the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code 333911 (Pump and Pumping 

Equipment Manufacturing), Product 

Service Code (PSC) 4310 (Compressors 

and Vacuum Pumps). According to the 

request, no small business 

manufacturers supply this class of 

products to the Federal government. 

Thus, SBA is seeking information on 

whether there are small business 

scientific vacuum pump manufacturers. 

If granted, the waiver would allow 

otherwise qualified small businesses to 

supply the products of any 

manufacturer on a Federal contract set 

aside for small businesses, ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) small 

businesses, Women-Owned small 

businesses (WOSB), Economically 

Disadvantaged Women-Owned small 

businesses (EDWOSB), or Participants 

in the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development 

(BD) program. 

DATES: Comments and source 

information must be submitted February 

12, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

and source information to Amy Garcia, 

Procurement Analyst, Small Business 

Administration, Office of Government 

Contracting, 409 3rd Street SW., Suite 

8800, Washington, DC 20416; or by way 

of email to the Nonmanufacturer Rule 

Waiver program office at 

NonMfgRuleWaiverReqsts@sba.gov. 

Email communications should contain 

‘‘Class Waiver—Scientific Vacuum 

Pumps’’ in the subject line. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Amy Garcia, Procurement Analyst, by 

telephone at (202) 205–6842; by FAX at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

8(a)(17) and 46 of the Small Business 

Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17) and 657s, 

and SBA’s implementing regulations 

require that recipients of Federal supply 

contracts set aside for small businesses, 

SDVO small businesses, WOSBs, 

EDWOSBs, or Participants in the SBA’s 

8(a) BD Program provide the product of 

a small business manufacturer or 

processor, if the recipient is other than

the actual manufacturer or processor of 

the product. This requirement is 

commonly referred to as the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule. 13 CFR 

121.406(b), 125.15(c). 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. 

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. 

13 CFR 121.1202(c). The SBA defines 

‘‘class of products’’ based on the Office 

of Management and Budget’s NAICS. 

The SBA is currently processing a 

request to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Scientific Vacuum Pumps, 

under NAICS code 333911 (Pump and 

Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), 

PSC 4310 (Compressors and Vacuum 

Pumps). The public is invited to 

comment or provide source information 

to SBA on the proposed waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for the product 

within 15 days after date of publication 

in the Federal Register and on 

FedBizOpps.gov. More information 

about the Nonmanufacturer Rule and 

Class Waivers may be found on SBA’s

Abstract of proposed collection: 

The information collected from 

individuals and organizations is 

specifically used to conduct screening 

to ensure that State funded activities do 

not provide support to entities or 

individuals deemed to be a risk to 

national security. 

Methodology: 

The State Department has 

implemented a Risk Analysis and 

Management Program to vet potential 

contractors and grantees seeking 

funding from the Department of State to 

mitigate the risk that such funds might 

benefit entities or individuals who 

present a national security risk. To 

conduct this vetting program the 

Department collects information from 

contractors, sub-contractors, grantees 

and sub-grantees regarding their 

directors, officers and/or key employees 

through mail, fax or electronic 

submission. The information collected 

is compared to information gathered 

from commercial, public, and U.S. 

government databases to determine the 

risk that the applying organization, 

entity or individual might use 

Department funds or programs in a way 

that presents a threat to national 

security. This program will continue as 

a pilot program as directed by Congress 

in the Department of State, Foreign 

Operations, and Related Programs 

Appropriations Act, 2015 (Div. J, Pub. L. 

113–235).
