Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 12353 

justification for capping the allocation 

assigned to a single entity; (3) the 

possibility of different caps for different 

types of suppliers; (4) the criteria for 

classifying a supplier as a small entity 

exempt from the allocation formula; (5) 

goods and services that pose no or de 

minimis risk of triggering the 

international supplementary fund; (6) 

alternative methodologies for evaluating 

risk, including examples of existing risk 

allocation mechanisms in the nuclear 

industry; and (7) potential modification 

to simplify, minimize and/or clarify the 

burden on industry. 

In addition, DOE intends to conduct 

additional data and information 

gathering in response to and in 

consideration of statements in the 

written comments and at the public 

workshop. These statements suggest 

certain additional information should be 

obtained by DOE and is necessary for 

the public to comment on the NOPR. In 

response to these statements, DOE is 

requesting any entity that believes 

additional information is needed to 

provide detailed comments as to the 

specific information it believes is 

needed. 

DOE is enumerating several general 

questions to assist DOE in its additional 

data gathering effort. The general 

questions for which DOE seeks 

comment are: (1) What data and 

information should be gathered on U.S. 

nuclear suppliers and their exports (for 

example, what entity should be 

considered the exporter (especially in 

situations where a supplier employs an 

entity to facilitate the export), should 

quantity, value and/or another factor be 

used to measure exports, and what time 

period should be used); (2) what data 

and information should be gathered on 

nuclear suppliers to inform reporting 

requirements (for example, what are the 

recordkeeping methods employed in the 

nuclear industry and what is currently 

reported to other government agencies); 

and (3) what data and information 

should be gathered on the allocation of 

risk across and among nuclear suppliers 

and nuclear supplier groups. Comments 

concerning additional information to be 

gathered will facilitate DOE’s effort to 

obtain additional data and information 

to inform the proposed rulemaking and 

should be provided to DOE by April 17, 

2015. DOE intends to make the 

additional data and information it 

obtains available for public review and 

comment, the date and timing of which 

will be announced in a subsequent 

Federal Register notice. 

DOE will consider any comments 

received by midnight of April 17, 2015, 

and deems any comments received by 

that time to be timely submitted. To the 

extent commenters provide confidential 

business information, pursuant to 10 

CFR 1004.11, any person submitting 

information he or she believes to be 

confidential and exempt by law from 

public disclosure should submit via 

email, postal mail, or hand delivery/

courier two well-marked copies: One 

copy of the document marked 

‘‘confidential’’ including all the 

information believed to be confidential, 

and one copy of the document marked 

‘‘non-confidential’’ with the information 

believed to be confidential deleted. 

Submit these documents via email or on 

a CD, if feasible. DOE will make its own 

determination about the confidential 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination. Factors 

of interest to DOE when evaluating 

requests to treat submitted information 

as confidential include: (1) A 

description of the items; (2) whether 

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry; (3) whether the information is 

generally known by or available from 

other sources; (4) whether the 

information has previously been made 

available to others without obligation 

concerning its confidentiality; (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person which would 

result from public disclosure; (6) when 

such information might lose its 

confidential character due to the 

passage of time; and (7) why disclosure 

of the information would be contrary to 

the public interest.

Small Business Government 

Contracting and National Defense 

Authorization Act of 2013 Amendments 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is reopening the 

comment period for the proposed rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 29, 2014 at 79 FR 77955. In 

that rule SBA proposed to implement 

provisions of the National Defense 

Authorization Act of 2013, which 

pertain to performance requirements 

applicable to small business and 

socioeconomic program set aside 

contracts and small business 

subcontracting. SBA also proposed to 

make changes to its regulations 

concerning the nonmanufacturer rule 

and affiliation rules. Further, SBA 

proposed to allow a joint venture to 

qualify as small for any government 

procurement as long as each partner to 

the joint venture qualifies individually 

as small under the size standard 

corresponding to the NAICS code 

assigned in the solicitation. Finally, 

SBA requested comments on the 

timeline and procedures for North 

American Industry Classification 

System code appeals. The comment 

period closed on February 27, 2015. 

SBA is reopening the comment period 

in response to the significant level of 

interest generated by the proposed rule 

and due to the request of multiple 

stakeholders. Given the scope of the 

proposed rule and the nature of the 

issues raised by the comments received 

to date, SBA believes that affected 

businesses need more time to review the 

proposal and fully prepare their 

comments. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on December 

29, 2014 (79 FR 77955) is extended 

through April 6, 2015.
