SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 (DOD), 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, 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
2007 Annual Materials Plan (AMP). The
Committee is seeking public comments
on the potential market impact of the
sale of these materials.
The quantities listed in Attachment 1
are not disposal or sale target quantities.
They are only 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.
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.
Although comments in response to this
Notice must be received by November 7,
2005 to ensure full consideration by the
Committee, interested parties are
encouraged to submit comments and
supporting information at any time
thereafter to keep the Committee
informed as to the market impact of the
sale of these commodities. Public
comments are an important element of
the Committee’s market impact review
process.
Public comments received will be
made available at the Department of
Commerce for public inspection and
copying. Anyone submitting business
confidential information should clearly
identify the business confidential
portion of the submission and also
provide a non-confidential submission
that can be placed in the public record.
The Committee will seek to protect such
information to the extent permitted by
law.
The records related to this Notice will
be made accessible in accordance with
the regulations published in Part 4 of
Title 15 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (15 CFR 4.1, et seq.).
Specifically, the Bureau of Industry and
Security’s Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) reading room is located on its
Web page found at https://
www.bis.doc.gov/foia/default.htm.
Copies of the public comments received
will be maintained on the Web site. If
requesters cannot access the Web site,
they may call (202) 482–2165 for
assistance.
Dated: September 30, 2005.
