AGENCY: Notice to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Photographic Film, Paper, Plate, and Chemical Manufacturing. ACTION: SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Photographic Film, Paper, Plate, and Chemical 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. This waiver is effective November 30, 2005.

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. 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 CFR 121.1202(c), 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 required as a data entry field by the Federal Procurement Data System. The SBA received a request on August 19, 2005 to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Photographic Film, Paper, Plate, and Chemical Manufacturing.

Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household 
Refrigerator Equipment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is granting a 
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household Refrigerator 
Equipment. The basis for waivers is that no small business 
manufacturers are supplying this class of product 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 business or SBA's 8(a) Business 
Development Program.

DATES: This waiver is effective November 30, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATI0N CONTACT: Edith Butler, Program Analyst, by 
telephone at (202) 619-0422; by FAX at (202) 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 of the 
product. This requirement is commonly referred to as the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule. 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 available to participate in the Federal market.
    As implemented in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), 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 required as a data entry field by the Federal Procurement Data 
System.
    The SBA received a request on September 2, 2005 to waive the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household Refrigerator Equipment. In response, 
on September 26, 2005, SBA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of intent to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household Refrigerator 
Equipment. SBA explained in the notice that it was soliciting comments 
and sources of small business manufacturers of this class of products.
    In response to this notice, no comments were received from 
interested parties. SBA has determined that there are no small business 
manufacturers of this class of products, and is therefore granting the 
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household Refrigerator 
Equipment, NAICS 423620.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17).

    Dated: November 1, 2005.
