 AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.
 ACTION: Notice of Periodic Review of Approved Class Waivers from the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Products in Effect as of March 17, 2009.
 SUMMARY: The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) conducted a periodic review of approved class waivers from the Nonmanufacturer Rule for products in effect as of March 17, 2009. The purpose of the notice was to determine if there were any small business manufacturers or processors for the products listed on the list of approved class waivers. The basis for a waiver 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 small businesses to supply the products of any manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or participants in SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) Program.
 DATES: This waiver is effective June 30, 2009.

                        *Edith.Butler@sba.gov*.


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 or Participants in 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. SBA's regulations provided the same for procurements set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns 13 CFR 125.15. This requirement is commonly referred to as the Nonmanufacturer Rule. See 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. 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 1202(c). The SBA defines “class of products” based on the Office of Management and Budget's North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and product service codes. The following are products listed on SBA's list of Approved Class Waivers in Effect as of March 17, 2009. U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Government Contracting Nonmanufacturer Rule

 The SBA posted a notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on March 26, 2009 and April 22, 2009 in the Federal Business Opportunities. SBA received five (5) responses from small business concerns. A review of the responses determined that there were no small business manufacturing sources for any of the products on the approved class waivers in effect as of March 17, 2009. Therefore, the list of approved class waivers for these products will remain in effect until such time of the discovery of small business manufacturing sources. Dated: June 19, 2009. James Gambardella, Acting Director for Government Contracting.
