Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 164 / Thursday, August 25, 2005 / Notices device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine, computer or other device, without the express permission of the recipient. Members and member organizations must clearly mark, in a margin at the top or bottom of each page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and the identification of the member or member organization sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine. Caller Identification Information Members and member organizations that engage in telemarketing must transmit caller identification information and are explicitly prohibited from blocking caller identification information. Caller identification information must include either the Calling Party Number (‘‘CPN’’) or the calling party’s billing number, also known as the Charge Number (‘‘ANI’’), and when available from the telephone carrier, the name of the member or member organization. The telephone number provided must permit any person to make a do-not-call request during normal business hours. Provision of caller identification information does not eliminate the requirement for a caller to verbally supply identification information during a call. These provisions are intended to promote appropriate caller identification practices that comport with the FCC’s caller identification rules 12 and related guidance.13 Outsourcing The proposed rule provides that if a member or member organization uses another entity to perform telemarketing services on its behalf, the member or member organization remains responsible for ensuring compliance with all provisions of the rule. (2) Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange, and in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) 14 of the Exchange Act. Section 6(b)(5) requires, among other things, that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and national market system, and in general, to protect investors and the 12 See 47 CFR 64.1601(e). Adopting Release, supra note 6, at 44167. 14 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 13 See VerDate jul<14>2003 15:58 Aug 24, 2005 Jkt 205001 public interest. The Exchange believes the proposed rule change will enhance investor protection by enabling persons who do not want to receive telephone solicitations from members or member organizations to receive the protections of the national do-not-call registry. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or (ii) as to which the Exchange consents, the Commission will: (a) By order approve such proposed rule change, or (b) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. 49965 number should be included on the subject line if e-mail is used.

ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Commercial Laundry Equipment, including Commercial Laundry Manufacturing, Dry Cleaning Equipment Manufacturing and Pressing Machine Manufacturing. SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Commercial Laundry Equipment, including Commercial Laundry Manufacturing, Dry Cleaning Equipment Manufacturing, and Pressing Machine Manufacturing. The basis for 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. 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 September 9, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edith Butler, Program Analyst, by telephone at (202) 619–0422; by FAX at 481–1788; or by e-mail at 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, 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. This requirement is commonly referred to as the Nonmanufacturer Rule. VerDate jul<14>2003 15:58 Aug 24, 2005 Jkt 205001 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 in the Federal market. As implemented in SBA’s regulations at 13 CFE 121.1204, 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. The first coding system is the Office of Management and Budget North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The second is the Product and Service Code established by the Federal Procurement Data System. The SBA is currently processing a request to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Commercial Laundry Equipment, including Commercial Laundry Manufacturing, Dry Cleaning Equipment Manufacturing and Pressing Machine Manufacturing, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 333312. The public is invited to comment or provide source information to SBA on the proposed waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule for this NAICS code. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 637(A)(17). Dated: August 19, 2005.
