Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 108 / Monday, June 8, 2009 / Notices
Propellants—Petroleum Base
Manufacturing.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is granting a
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
PSC 9130—Liquid Propellants—
Petroleum Base Manufacturing. The
basis for waiver 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
small businesses to supply the products
of any manufacturer on a Federal
contract set aside for small businesses,
service-disabled veteran-owned small
businesses or participants in SBA’s 8(a)
Business Development (BD) Program.
DATES: This waiver is effective June 23,
2009.

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 or participants in
SBA’s 8(a) (BD) Program to provide the
product of a small business
manufacturer or processor, if the
recipient is other than the actual
manufacturer or processor of the
product. SBA’s regulations provided the
same for procurements set aside for
service-disabled veteran-owned small
business concerns. This requirement is
commonly referred to as the
Nonmanufacturer Rule. See 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. 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. 13 CFR 1202(c).
The SBA defines ‘‘class of products’’
based on the Office of Management and
Budget’s North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) and PSCs
within the NAICS code category. SBA
received a request on April 20, 2009, to
waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
NAICS 324110, Petroleum Refineries,
PSC 9130—Liquid Propellants—
Petroleum Base Manufacturing.
In response, on May 11, 2009, SBA
published in the Federal Register a

has determined that there are no small

of products. Therefore, SBA is granting
the waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
for PSC 9130—Liquid Propellants—
Petroleum Base Manufacturing.
