SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Small Business Size Standards:
Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Eyeglass
Frames.
AGENCY:
The U. S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is considering
granting a class waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Optical
Eyeglass Frames, Product Service Code
(PSC) 6540 (Ophthalmic Instruments,
Equipment, and Supplies), under the
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code 339115
(Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing).
According to the request, no small
business manufacturers supply this
class of products to the Federal
Government. Thus, SBA is seeking
information on whether there are small
business manufacturers of this item. If
granted, the waiver would allow
otherwise qualified small businesses to
supply the product 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 May 12,
2011.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
and source information to Amy Garcia,
Procurement Analyst, Small Business
Administration, Office of Government
Contracting, 409 3rd Street, SW., Suite
8800, Washington, DC 20416.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Amy Garcia, Procurement Analyst, by
telephone at (202) 205–6842; by FAX at
(202) 481–1630; or by email at
amy.garcia@sba.gov.
SUMMARY:
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
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

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 Optical Eyeglass Frames under
PSC 6540 (Ophthalmic Instruments,
Equipment, and Supplies), under
NAICS code 339115 (Ophthalmic Goods
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 the date of posting
in the Federal Register.

Acting Director, Office of Government
Contracting.

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 104–13, the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, effective October
1, 1995. This notice includes revisions
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 Officer at
the following addresses or fax numbers.

Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

Fax: 410–965–6400, 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 June 27,
2011. Individuals can obtain copies of

1. Farm Arrangement Questionnaire—
20 CFR 404.1082(c)—0960–0064. When
self-employed workers submit earnings
data to SSA, they cannot count rental
income from a farm unless they
demonstrate ‘‘material participation’’ in
the farm’s operation. A material
participation arrangement means the
farm owners must perform a
combination of physical duties,
management decisions, and capital
investment in the farm they are renting
out. In such cases, SSA uses Form SSA–
7157, the Farm Arrangement
Questionnaire, to document material
participation. The respondents are
workers who are renting farmland to
others, are involved in the operation of
the farm, and want to claim countable
income from work they perform relating
to the farm.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 38,000.
Average Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 19,000
hours.
2. Authorization to Disclose
Information to SSA—20 CFR 404.1512
and 416.912, 45 CFR 160 and 164—
0960–0623. SSA must obtain sufficient
evidence to make eligibility
determinations for Title II and Title XVI
payments. Therefore, the applicant must
authorize release of information from
various sources to SSA. The applicant
uses the SSA–827 to provide consent for
the release of medical records,
education records, and other
E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM

information related to his or her ability
to perform tasks. Once the applicant
completes the SSA–827, SSA or the
State Disability Determination Service
sends the form to the designated
source(s) to obtain pertinent records.
The respondents are applicants for Title
II benefits and Title XVI payments.

no later than May 27, 2011. You can

writing to the above e-mail address.
Medicare Modernization Act

418—0960–0773. To promote awareness
of the Medicare Part D subsidy program
and encourage potentially eligible
Medicare beneficiaries to complete
Form SSA–1020 (OMB No. 0960–0696,
the Application for Extra Help with
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs),

includes the mailer, Form SSA–1023.
Pharmacies, doctors’ offices, and
medical clinics display and distribute
copies of the brochure to encourage
eligible Medicare beneficiaries to
request and complete Form SSA–1020.
Using a recorded, automated telephone
call requiring no conversation with
respondents, SSA follows up with
beneficiaries who use the mailer to
request an SSA–1020 but do not submit
the SSA–1020 to the agency. The
respondents are Medicare beneficiaries
who are potentially eligible for Part D
subsidy benefits and who request a copy
of Form SSA–1020 using the SSA–1023
mailer.
