• Projects primarily focused on
production of non-engineered cells or
tissues as therapeutics;
• Projects involving straightforward
scale-up of biopharmaceuticals with
incremental improvements in the
manufacturing processes;
• Projects that involve incremental
improvements in traditional processes
for biomolecule production (e.g. vaccine
production in chicken eggs, hormones
such as insulin extracted from pig
tissue);
• Biomanufacturing projects that
primarily focus on processes for
production of non-biopharmaceutical
products (e.g. production of biofuels or
small molecule drugs);
• Projects that primarily focus on
drug discovery or design of new
biomaterials;
• Projects that primarily focus on
discovery of new production cell
systems;
• Projects that use living genetically
modified vertebrate animals,
invertebrate animals, or plants as
bioreactors for biopharmaceutical
production;
• Production or scale up of scaffolds
or biomaterials used in scaffold design
that are not a part of the manufacturing
of engineered tissues; and
• Projects that do not have a primary
focus (people, equipment, time and/or
funds) on addressing specific process
bottlenecks.
Finally, NIST is clarifying that the
white paper ‘‘Manufacturing and
Biomanufacturing: Materials Advances
and Critical Processes’’ referenced in the
description of Area of Critical National
Need: Manufacturing (75 FR 20327)
only provides background information
related to the selection of this Critical
National Need and the associated
societal challenges; it does not
specifically describe the scope of the
Notice of Availability of Funds.
Administrative Procedure Act and
Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior notice
and comment are not required under 5
U.S.C. 553, or any other law, for rules
relating to public property, loans,
grants, benefits or contracts (5 U.S.C.
553(a)). Because prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore,
a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 4/9/2010 (75 FR 18164–18165),
the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled published a notice of proposed
additions to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
a product and services and impact of the
addition on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that a product and services
listed below is suitable for procurement
by the Federal Government under 41
U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organizations that will provide a
product and services to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to provide a
product and services to the Government.

3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
connection with this product and
services proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following product
and services are added to the
Procurement List:
Product
Wooden Trunk Locker
NSN: 8460–00–243–3234.
NPA: Employment Source, Inc., Fayetteville,
NC.
Contracting Activity: Defense Logistics
Agency, Defense Supply Center
Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Coverage: C-List for 50% of the requirements
for the Defense Supply Center
Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
The Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant
to statutory and regulatory
requirements. Committee regulations
states that for a commodity or service to
be suitable for addition to the
Procurement List (PL) each of the
following criteria must be satisfied:
employment potential; nonprofit agency
qualifications, capability, and level of
impact on the current contractor for the
commodity or service.
Comments were received from a
commercial company that claims to
have previously provided this product
to the government. The company stated
that they are not currently providing the
product to the government; however,
placing this item on the PL would
impact them since they would lose the
opportunity to possibly provide this
product to the government in the future.
Prior to placing a product or service on
the PL, the Committee considers impact
on the current or most recent contractor.
The Committee does not consider
impact on any contractor that may have
ever provided a product or service to the
government—only the current or most
recent contractor. The Committee
cannot speculate on the possibility of
particular companies being selected to
provide products and services to the
government in the future.
The commenter also asserted that
there is collusion between the nonprofit
agency and another small business
competitor that will result in its
competitor enjoying a profitable
subcontract forever if the commercial
portion of the trunk locker requirement
is added to the PL. Based on a review,
the Committee is satisfied that the
nonprofit agency complied with its
E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM
11JNN1
33270
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Notices
regulations requiring broad competition
in selecting its small business
subcontractor to supply parts and
provide painting support. The nonprofit
agency solicited at least three offers and
made a best value selection of its
subcontractor and is expected to show
competition for its subcontractor every
five years.
The Committee’s responsibility under
the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act (41 U.S.C.
46–48c) is to promote employment
opportunities for people who are blind
or with other severe disabilities that
have an unemployment rate far above
people without severe disabilities. The
Committee followed its regulatory
requirements in considering this project
and has determined that this project is
suitable for addition to the PL. Addition
of this project to the PL will result in
employment for people who are blind or
with other severe disabilities.
