Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices 66889 

business manufacturers or processors 

available to participate in the Federal 

market. 

As implemented in SBA’s regulations 

at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), 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. The SBA 

defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on six 

digit coding systems. Class of products 

is an individual subdivision within a 

NAICS Industry Number as established 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget in the NAICS Manual, 13 CFR 

121.1202(d). The second is the Product 

and Service Code required as a data 

entry by the Federal Procurement Data 

System. 

The SBA is currently processing a 

request to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Forklifts Manufacturing, NAICS 

333924. The public is invited to 

comment or provide source information 

to SBA on the proposed waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for this NAICS 

code.

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 Office 

Supplies, Paper and Toner. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is considering 

granting a waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Office 

Supplies, Paper and Toner. The basis of 

waivers is that no small business 

manufacturers are supplying these 

classes of products to the Federal 

government. The effect of a waiver 

would be to allow otherwise qualified 

regular dealers to supply the products of 

any domestic manufacturer on a Federal 

contract set aside for small businesses, 

service-disabled veteran-owned small 

businesses, or SBA’s 8(a) Business 

Development Program to provide the 

products of small business 

manufacturers or processors on such 

contracts. The purpose of this notice is 

to solicit comments and potential source 

information from interested parties. 

DATES: Comments and sources must be 

submitted on or before November 16, 

2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act, (Act) 

15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), requires that 

recipients of Federal contracts set aside 

for small businesses, service-disabled 

veteran-owned small businesses, or 

SBA’s 8(a) Business Development 

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. 

The SBA regulations imposing this 

requirement are found at 13 CFR 

121.406 (b). 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. 

As implemented in SBA’s regulations 

at 13 CFR 121.1202 (c), 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. The SBA 

defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on six 

digit coding systems. Class of products 

is an individual subdivision within a 

NAICS Industry Number as established

Budget in the NAICS Manual, 13 CFR 

§ 121.1202(d). The second is the Product 

and Service Code required as a data 

entry by the Federal Procurement Data 

System. 

The SBA is currently processing a 

request to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Office Supplies, Paper and 

Toner, under NAICS 424120, 339940, 

325132, 325992, 322231, 453210. The 

public is invited to comment or provide 

source information to SBA on the 

proposed waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for these NAICS 

codes.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The operation of a motor vehicle in 

the United States by foreign mission 

personnel is a benefit under the Foreign 

Mission Act, 22 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. The 

U.S. Department of State Registration 

and Title application forms (DS–100, 

DS–100E, DS–101, DS–101E, DS–102, 

DS–102E, DS–104, and DS–104E) are 

the means by which foreign missions in 

the United States request the 

registration, titling, and issuance of 

replacement license plates for motor 

vehicles owned/operated by foreign 

missions, foreign diplomatic and 

consular personnel, as well as specified 

official representatives of foreign 

governments to international 

organizations in the United States, and 

their dependents. 

Methodology 

This collection is submitted by all 

foreign missions in paper format on one 

of four forms; the information is then 

entered into an electronic database, 

maintained and utilized by the Office of 

Foreign Missions to administer the 

benefit. Electronic versions of DS–100 

and DS–101 (DS–100E and DS–101E) 

were introduced in May 2005 to a few 

foreign missions to test and develop an 

electronic submission option. Electronic 

versions of the DS–102 and DS–104 

(DS–102E and DS–104E) have been 

developed and will be implemented in 

early 2006. To facilitate the collection of 

information in a more systematic and 

efficient manner, the Office of Foreign 

Missions will continue to develop the 

database to support an end-to-end 

electronic submission process, bearing 

in mind as well that utilization of 

electronic submissions by individual 

missions is dependent on the status of 

their own systems.
