Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule, 24101 [E8-9551]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 85 / Thursday, May 1, 2008 / Notices for requesting review of a transaction, including for certain erroneous transactions involving a non-brokerdealer customer that occur during the Exchange’s automated opening process, as well as the proposal to sample quotations at 15-second intervals to determine the average quote width of the underlying security, represent reasonable modifications to the Obvious Error Rule. Furthermore, the Commission believes that eliminating the provision pertaining to trades that are automatically executed when the specialist or ROT sells $.10 or more below parity and permitting the nullification of transactions that occur during trading halts in the affected option on the Exchange or in the underlying security in specified situations are clear and objective. Therefore, the Commission believes that the proposed changes to the Obvious Error Rule are appropriate. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8 that the proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2007– 69), as modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, is hereby approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.9 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.

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.

Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Safety Zone 
Rubber Gloves Manufacturing product number 9999.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is granting a 
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Safety Zone Rubber Gloves 
Manufacturing.
    The basis for waiver 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 
businesses or SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program.

DATES: This waiver is effective May 16, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATI0N CONTACT:  Pamela M. McClam, Program Analyst, by 
telephone at (202) 205-7408; by FAX at (202) 481-4783; or by e-mail at 
Pamela.McClam@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 February 26, 2008, to waive the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Safety Zone Rubber Gloves Manufacturing.
    In response, on April 8, 2008, SBA published in the Federal 
Register a notice of intent to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 
Safety Zone Rubber Gloves Manufacturing. SBA explained in the notice 
that it was soliciting comments and sources of small business 
manufacturers of this class of products. No comments were received in 
response to this notice. 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 Safety Zone Rubber 
Gloves Manufacturing. NAICS code 339113 product number 9999.

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