engagement, politically, scientifically, 

internationally, and publicly. 

NOAA will next develop and execute 

a five-year Arctic Action Plan to achieve 

these goals. Development and execution 

of the plan will require coordination 

across all NOAA Line and Staff Offices 

and collaboration with local, regional, 

federal, nongovernmental, and academic 

partners. As a starting point, NOAA will 

establish a single point of contact within 

NOAA Senior Executive Leadership 

who will be accountable for achieving 

the Arctic goals. The Arctic Action Plan 

will also include an engagement strategy 

for reaching internal and external 

employees, partners, and stakeholders, 

as well as a detailed budget strategy. 

NOAA is committed to enhancing its 

current involvement in research and 

management programs in the Arctic, 

and anticipates an initial investment of 

$10 million towards the implementation 

of this strategy, recognizing that 

additional funds will be needed to 

achieve the goals. 

II. Request for Comments 

NOAA invites comments on its: (a) 

vision for the Arctic; and (b) six 

strategic goals and five-year strategies 

for the Arctic.

Class Deviation From FAR 52.219–7, 

Notice of Partial Small Business SetAside 

AGENCY: Defense Logistics Agency, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is to notify interested 

parties of a proposed class deviation to 

the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) regarding partial small business 

set-asides for Defense Logistics Agency 

(DLA), Defense Energy Support Center 

(DESC) bulk fuels solicitations and 

resulting contract awards. DLA is 

requesting Department of Defense 

approval of a class deviation to FAR 

52.219–7, to revise an existing class 

deviation to that clause. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 9, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

concerning this Deviation to DLA, Attn: 

J–71 (Kerry Pilz), 8725 John J. Kingman 

Rd, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060–6221. 

Telephone (703) 767–1461 or E-mail at

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kerry Pilz, (703) 767–1461 or e-mail at 

kerry.pilz@dla.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) 1.404 and Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement 201.404, DESC is 

requesting a class deviation from FAR 

Clause 52.219–7, Notice of Partial Small 

Business Set-Aside. DESC intends to use 

the clause in domestic bulk fuel 

solicitations. 

Under the bulk petroleum program, 

DESC purchases, distributes, and 

manages millions of gallons of military 

specification fuel products for the 

Military Services. Domestic bulk fuel 

solicitations generally contain partial 

small business set-asides pursuant to 

FAR subpart 19.5. These set-asides are 

solicited and awarded using the current 

deviation clause, DESC Clause I237.06, 

Notice of Partial Small Business SetAside (Deviation). The current deviation 

was approved on June 25, 1990, 

pursuant to DAR Case 90–922. The 

current deviation established a 

methodology for partial small business 

set-aside evaluation and awards. 

DESC proposes revisions to the 

current deviation clause to clarify 

language in various portions of the 

clause, and in particular to clarify that 

a small business will not be awarded a 

set-aside portion at a price higher than 

its offer price under the non-set-aside 

portion. The proposed revisions are 

incorporated into the clause below: 

Defense Logistics Agency Defense Logistics 

Acquisition Directive provision and clause. 

I237.06 NOTICE OF PARTIAL SMALL 

BUSINESS SET-ASIDE (DEVIATION) 

Required in all domestic bulk solicitations/ 

contracts when the solicitation contains one 

or more partial set-aside items. Be sure leadin appears above the clause. This clause is a 

deviation from FAR Clause I237. 

THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE APPLIES 

ONLY TO PARTIAL SMALL BUSINESS 

SET-ASIDE LINE ITEMS THAT MAY 

BE CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. 

I237.06 NOTICE OF PARTIAL SMALL 

BUSINESS SET–ASIDE (DEVIATION) 

(DESC) 

(a) DEFINITION. Small business concern, 

as used in this clause, means a concern, 

including its affiliates that is independently 

owned and operated, not dominant in the 

field of operation in which it is bidding on 

Government contracts, and qualified as a 

small business under the size standards in 

this solicitation. 

(b) GENERAL. 

(1) A portion of certain items of this 

procurement, as listed in the Schedule, has 

been set aside for award to eligible small 

businesses. The quantities indicated for such 

items in the Schedule include the set-aside 

portion. All offerors are urged to offer the 

maximum quantities they desire and are 

capable of delivering. Small business 

concerns interested in receiving a set-aside 

contract should submit an offer in the same 

manner as though there were no set-aside. 

Volumes offered by qualified small business 

concerns will be evaluated for the non-setaside and set-aside portions of the 

procurement. Separate offers should not be 

submitted on the non-set-aside and set-aside 

portions. 

(2) The partial small business set-aside of 

the procurement is based on a determination 

by the Contracting Officer that it is in the 

interest of maintaining or mobilizing the 

nation’s full production capacity or in the
