SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60315
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, the 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
2009 Annual Materials Plan. The
Committee is seeking public comments
on the potential market impact of the
sale of these materials. Public comments
are an important element of the
Committee’s market impact review
process.
The quantities listed in Attachment 1
are not disposal or sales target
quantities, but rather 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.
Submission of Comments
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.
All comments must be submitted to the
address indicated in this notice. All
comments submitted through e-mail
must include the phrase ‘‘Market Impact
Committee Notice of Inquiry’’ in the
subject line.
The Committee encourages interested
persons who wish to comment to do so
at the earliest possible time. The period
for submission of comments will close
on November 23, 2007. The Committee
will consider all comments received
before the close of the comment period.
Comments received after the end of the
comment period will be considered, if
possible, but their consideration cannot
be assured.
All comments submitted in response
to this notice will be made a matter of
public record and will be available for
