SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Small Business Size Standards:
Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the
nonmanufacturer rule for configured
tape library storage equipment.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is considering
granting a class waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Configured
Tape Library Storage Equipment. SBA is
initiating a request that an class waiver
be granted for Configured Tape Library
Storage Equipment, Product Service
Code (PSC) 7025 Automated Data
Processing (ADP) Input/Output and
Storage Devices, 7035 ADP Support
Equipment, and 7045 ADP Supplies,
under the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) code
334112 (Computer Storage Device
Manufacturing). According to our
research, no small business
manufacturers supply these classes of
products to the Federal government.
Thus, SBA is seeking information on
whether there are small business
Configured Tape Library Storage
Equipment manufacturers. If granted,
the waiver would allow otherwise
qualified small businesses to supply the
products of any manufacturer on a
Federal contract set aside for small
businesses, Service-Disabled VeteranOwned (SDVO) small businesses or
Participants in the SBA’s 8(a) Business
Development (BD) program.
DATES: Comments and source
information must be submitted June 22,
2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
and source information to Edith Butler,
Program Analyst, Small Business
Administration, Office of Government

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms.
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.
Section
8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Act),
15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), and SBA’s
implementing regulations require that
recipients of Federal supply contracts
set aside for small businesses, SDVO
small businesses, or Participants in the
SBA’s 8(a) BD 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. 13 CFR 121.406(b), 125.15(c).
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 121.1202(c). The SBA defines
‘‘class of products’’ based on the Office
of Management and Budget’s NAICS.
In addition, SBA uses PSCs to further
identify particular products within the
NAICS code to which a waiver would
apply. The SBA may then identify a
specific item within a PSC and NAICS
to which a class waiver would apply.
The SBA is currently processing a
request to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for Configured Tape Library
Storage Equipment, PSC 7025 (ADP
Input/Output and Storage Devices),
7035 (ADP Support Equipment), and
7045 (ADP Supplies), under NAICS
code 334112 (Computer Storage Device
Manufacturing). The public is invited to
comment or provide source information
to SBA on the proposed waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for the product
within 15 days after date of publication
in the Federal Register and on
FedBizOpps.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages requiring clearance
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law (Pub. L.) 104–13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions and extensions of
OMB-approved information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;
its practical utility; ways to enhance its
quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to
minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Mail, e-mail, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and SSA Reports Clearance Director to
the following addresses or fax numbers.
(OMB), Office of Management and
Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

Building, 6401 Security Blvd.,
Baltimore, MD 21235, Fax: 410–965–
0454, E-mail address:
OPLM.RCO@ssa.gov.
I. The information collections below
are pending at SSA. SSA will submit
them to OMB within 60 days from the
date of this notice. To be sure we
consider your comments, we must
receive them no later than August 6,
2010. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by calling the
SSA Director for Reports Clearance at
410–965–0454 or by writing to the
above e-mail address.
1. Certificate of Coverage Request—20
CFR 404.1913—0960–0554. The United
States has agreements with 21 foreign
countries to eliminate double Social
Security coverage and taxation where,
except for the provisions of the
agreement, a worker would be subject to
coverage and taxes in both countries.
These agreements contain rules for
determining the country under whose
laws the worker’s period of employment
is covered, and to which country the
worker will pay taxes. The agreements
further dictate that, upon the request of
the worker or employer, the country
under whose system the period of work
is covered will issue a certificate of

coverage. The certificate serves as proof
of exemption from coverage and
taxation under the system of the other
country. The information we collect
assists us in determining a worker’s
coverage and in issuing a U.S. certificate
of coverage as appropriate. Respondents
are workers and employers wishing to

2. Incorporation by Reference of Oral
Findings of Fact and Rationale in
Wholly Favorable Written Decisions
(Bench Decision Regulation)—20 CFR
404.953 and 416.1453—0960–0694. If an
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) makes
a wholly favorable oral decision that
includes all the findings and rationale
for the decision for a claimant of Title
II or Title XVI payments at an
administrative appeals hearing, the
records from the oral hearing preclude
the need for a written decision. This is
known as the incorporation-by-reference
process. These regulations also state that
if the involved parties want a record of
the oral decision, they may submit a
written request for these records.
Therefore, SSA uses the identifying
information collected under the aegis of
sections 20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453
to determine how to send interested
individuals written records of a
favorable incorporation-by-reference
oral decision made at an administrative
review hearing. Since there is no
prescribed form to request a written
record of the decision, the involved
parties send SSA their contact
information and reference the hearing
for which they would like a record. The
respondents are applicants for Disability
Insurance Benefits and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) payments or their
representatives to whom SSA gave a
wholly favorable oral decision under the
regulations cited above.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 2,500.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 5
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 208 hours.
3. Cost Reimbursable Research
Request—20 CFR 401.165—0960–0754.
Qualified researchers need SSA
administrative data for a variety of
projects. To request SSA’s program data
for research, a researcher must submit a
completed research application, Form
SSA–9901 (How to Request SSA
Program Data for Research) for SSA’s
evaluation. In the application, the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

requesting researcher must provide
basic project information and describe
the way in which the proposed project
will further SSA’s mission to promote
the economic security of the Nation’s
people through its administration of the
Old Age, Survivors, and Disability
Insurance Programs, and/or the SSI
Program. SSA reviews the application,
and once we approve it, the researcher
signs Form SSA–9903, SSA Agreement
Regarding Conditions for Use of SSA
Data, which outlines the conditions and
safeguards for the research project data
exchange. The researcher may use the
data for research and statistical
purposes only and must complete Form
SSA–9902, Confidentiality Agreement.
SSA recovers all expenses incurred in
providing this information as part of
this reimbursable service. The
respondents are Federal and state
government agencies and/or their
contractors, private entities, and
colleges/universities.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 240
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 60 hours.
4. Request to Decision Review Board
to Vacate the Administrative Law Judge
Dismissal of Hearing—20 CFR
405.427—0960–0755. When an ALJ
dismisses a hearing for a claim for Title
II or Title XVI disability payments, the
claimant may request to vacate or stop
this decision by completing and
submitting Form SSA–525 to the SSA
Decision Review Board (Board). The
Board uses this information to: (1)
Establish the continued involvement of
the requestor in the claim; (2) consider
the requestor’s arguments for vacating
the dismissal; and (3) vacate or decline
to vacate the ALJ’s dismissal order. The
respondents are Social Security
disability or SSI claimants who are
requesting the Board to vacate their
dismissal order.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

5. Authorization to Release Medical
Report to Physician—20 CFR 401.55 &
401.100—0960–0761. When evidence
provided by a disability claimant is
inadequate for SSA to determine the
disability, SSA requests a consultative
examination (CE) for additional
information or clarification. If the
claimant, his/her court appointed
representative, or a parent of a minor
child wants the CE report sent to the
claimant’s treating physician, he/she
completes Form SSA–91 and sends it to
SSA for processing. SSA uses the
information on the SSA–91 to release
the CE report to the authorized
physician. Respondents are applicants
for disability claims.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 7,922.
Frequency of Response: 1.

6. Authorization for SSA to Disclose
Tax Information for Your Appeal of
Your Medicare Part B Income-Related
Monthly Adjustment Premium
Amount—20 CFR 418.1350—0960–
0762. Medicare Part B beneficiaries who
wish to appeal SSA’s reconsideration of
their Income-Related Monthly
Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) must
ensure the relevant Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) income tax data is
available to the Health and Human
Services ALJ who will consider their
appeal. Through Form SSA–54, SSA
obtains beneficiary authorization to
disclose the IRS beneficiary tax data to
the ALJ. The respondents are Medicare
Part B recipients who want to appeal
SSA’s reconsideration of their IRMAA
amount.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 6,000.

0547. Pension plan administrators
annually file plan information with the
IRS, who then forwards the information
to SSA. SSA maintains and organizes
this information by plan numbers, plan
participant’s name, and Social Security
number. Under Section 1131(a) of the
Social Security Act, pension plan
participants are entitled to request this
information from SSA. The Wage
Reports and Pension Information
regulation, 20 CFR 422.122(b) of the
Code of Federal Regulations, stipulates
that before SSA disseminates this

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law (Pub. L.)
104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995.
This notice includes revisions and extensions of OMB-approved
information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, e-mail, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Director to the following
addresses or fax numbers.
(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,
Fax: 202-395-6974, E-mail address: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

Baltimore, MD 21235, Fax: 410-965-0454, E-mail address:
OPLM.RCO@ssa.gov.
I. The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will
submit them to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than
August 6, 2010. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by calling the SSA Director for Reports Clearance at 410-
965-0454 or by writing to the above e-mail address.
1. Certificate of Coverage Request--20 CFR 404.1913--0960-0554. The
United States has agreements with 21 foreign countries to eliminate
double Social Security coverage and taxation where, except for the
provisions of the agreement, a worker would be subject to coverage and
taxes in both countries. These agreements contain rules for determining
the country under whose laws the worker's period of employment is
covered, and to which country the worker will pay taxes. The agreements
further dictate that, upon the request of the worker or employer, the
country under whose system the period of work is covered will issue a
certificate of
[[Page 32232]]
coverage. The certificate serves as proof of exemption from coverage
and taxation under the system of the other country. The information we
collect assists us in determining a worker's coverage and in issuing a
U.S. certificate of coverage as appropriate. Respondents are workers
and employers wishing to establish exemption from foreign Social
Security taxes.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

2. Incorporation by Reference of Oral Findings of Fact and
Rationale in Wholly Favorable Written Decisions (Bench Decision
Regulation)--20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453--0960-0694. If an
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) makes a wholly favorable oral decision
that includes all the findings and rationale for the decision for a
claimant of Title II or Title XVI payments at an administrative appeals
hearing, the records from the oral hearing preclude the need for a
written decision. This is known as the incorporation-by-reference
process. These regulations also state that if the involved parties want
a record of the oral decision, they may submit a written request for
these records. Therefore, SSA uses the identifying information
collected under the aegis of sections 20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453 to
determine how to send interested individuals written records of a
favorable incorporation-by-reference oral decision made at an
administrative review hearing. Since there is no prescribed form to
request a written record of the decision, the involved parties send SSA
their contact information and reference the hearing for which they
would like a record. The respondents are applicants for Disability
Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments or
their representatives to whom SSA gave a wholly favorable oral decision
under the regulations cited above.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 2,500.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 208 hours.
3. Cost Reimbursable Research Request--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0754.
Qualified researchers need SSA administrative data for a variety of
projects. To request SSA's program data for research, a researcher must
submit a completed research application, Form SSA-9901 (How to Request
SSA Program Data for Research) for SSA's evaluation. In the
application, the requesting researcher must provide basic project
information and describe the way in which the proposed project will
further SSA's mission to promote the economic security of the Nation's
people through its administration of the Old Age, Survivors, and
Disability Insurance Programs, and/or the SSI Program. SSA reviews the
application, and once we approve it, the researcher signs Form SSA-
9903, SSA Agreement Regarding Conditions for Use of SSA Data, which
outlines the conditions and safeguards for the research project data
exchange. The researcher may use the data for research and statistical
purposes only and must complete Form SSA-9902, Confidentiality
Agreement. SSA recovers all expenses incurred in providing this
information as part of this reimbursable service. The respondents are
Federal and state government agencies and/or their contractors, private
entities, and colleges/universities.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 240 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 60 hours.
4. Request to Decision Review Board to Vacate the Administrative
Law Judge Dismissal of Hearing--20 CFR 405.427--0960-0755. When an ALJ
dismisses a hearing for a claim for Title II or Title XVI disability
payments, the claimant may request to vacate or stop this decision by
completing and submitting Form SSA-525 to the SSA Decision Review Board
(Board). The Board uses this information to: (1) Establish the
continued involvement of the requestor in the claim; (2) consider the
requestor's arguments for vacating the dismissal; and (3) vacate or
decline to vacate the ALJ's dismissal order. The respondents are Social
Security disability or SSI claimants who are requesting the Board to
vacate their dismissal order.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 30,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,000 hours.
5. Authorization to Release Medical Report to Physician--20 CFR
401.55 & 401.100--0960-0761. When evidence provided by a disability
claimant is inadequate for SSA to determine the disability, SSA
