Abstract of Proposed Collection The information requested will be used to support entry of a minor’s (an unmarried person under 18) name into the Children’s Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP). CPIAP provides a mechanism for concerned parents (other than parents whose parental rights have been terminated by court order), their appointed agents, or other persons having legal custody of the child to obtain information regarding whether the Department has received a passport application for the minor. This program was developed as a means to prevent international abduction of a minor or to help prevent other travel of a minor without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If a minor’s name and other identifying information has been entered into the CPIAP, when the Department receives an application for a new, replacement, or renewed passport for the minor, the application will be placed on hold for up to 60 days and the Office of Children’s Issues will attempt to notify the requestor of receipt of the application. Form DS–3077 will be primarily submitted by a parent or legal guardian of a minor.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act

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

    As implemented in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), in order

Federal government within the last 24 months. The SBA defines ``class 
of products'' based on a six digit coding system. The coding system is
