SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the authority of the Strategic 

and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act 

of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 98, et 

seq.), the Department of Defense, as 

National Defense Stockpile Manager, 

maintains a stockpile of strategic and 

critical materials to supply the military, 

industrial, and essential civilian needs 

of the United States for national 

defense. Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year 

(FY) 1993 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 

98h–1) formally established a Market 

Impact Committee (the ‘‘Committee’’) to 

‘‘advise the National Defense Stockpile 

Manager on the projected domestic and 

foreign economic effects of all 

acquisitions and disposals of materials 

from the stockpile ***.’’ The 

Committee must also balance market 

impact concerns with the statutory 

requirement to protect the Government 

against avoidable loss. 

The Committee is comprised of 

representatives from the Departments of 

Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, 

Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and 

Homeland Security, and is co-chaired 

by the Departments of Commerce and 

State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the 

Committee to consult with industry 

representatives that produce, process, or 

consume the materials contained in the 

stockpile. 

In Attachment 1, the Defense National 

Stockpile Center (DNSC) lists the 

proposed quantities that are enumerated 

in the stockpile inventory for the FY 

2012 Annual Materials Plan. The 

Committee is seeking public comments 

on the potential market impact of the 

sale of these materials. Public comments 

are an important element of the 

Committee’s market impact review 

process. 

The quantities listed in Attachment 1 

are not disposal or sales target 

quantities, but rather a statement of the 

proposed maximum disposal quantity of 

each listed material that may be sold in 

a particular fiscal year by the DNSC. 

The quantity of each material that will 

actually be offered for sale will depend 

on the market for the material at the 

time of the offering as well as on the 

quantity of each material approved for 

disposal by Congress. 

Submission of Comments 

The Committee requests that 

interested parties provide written 

comments, supporting data and 

documentation, and any other relevant 

information on the potential market 

impact of the sale of these commodities. 

All comments must be submitted to the 

address indicated in this notice. All 

comments submitted through e-mail 

must include the phrase ‘‘Market Impact 

Committee Notice of Inquiry’’ in the 

subject line. 

The Committee encourages interested 

persons who wish to comment to do so 

at the earliest possible time. The period 

for submission of comments will close 

on October 12, 2010. The Committee 

will consider all comments received 

before the close of the comment period. 

Comments received after the end of the 

comment period will be considered, if 

possible, but their consideration cannot 

be assured. 

All comments submitted in response 

to this notice will be made a matter of 

public record and will be available for 

public inspection and copying. Anyone 

submitting business confidential 

information should clearly identify the 

business confidential portion of the 

submission and also provide a nonconfidential submission that can be 

placed in the public record. The 

Committee will seek to protect such 

information to the extent permitted by 

law.

of Industry and Security, U.S.
