Small Business Size Standards:
Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for commercialtype ovens, gas ranges, and ranges.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is considering
granting a class waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for commercialtype ovens, gas ranges, and ranges,
under Product Service Code (PSC) 7310
(Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving
Equipment), under the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS)
code 333318 (Other Commercial and
Service Industry Machinery
Manufacturing). According to the
waiver 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 these items. 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,
Participants in the SBA’s 8(a) Business
Development (BD) program, or WomenOwned Small Businesses (WOSBs).
DATES: Comments and source
information must be submitted July 8,
2013.
You may submit comments
and source information, identified by
docket number SBA–2013–0005, by any

submit the comment by either Mail or
Hand Delivery. In the submission, you
must highlight the information that you
consider CBI and explain why you
believe this information should be
withheld as confidential. SBA will make
a final determination, in its sole
discretion, as to whether the
information is CBI and therefore will be
published or withheld.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Act),
15 USC 637(a)(17), and SBA’s
implementing regulations require that
recipients of Federal contracts for
supplies which are set aside for small
businesses, Service-Disabled VeteranOwned (SDVO) small businesses,
Women-Owned Small Businesses
(WOSBs), or Participants in SBA’s 8(a)
BD Program must 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). Section 8(a)(17)(B)(iv)(II) 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 been awarded
or have performed a contract to supply
a specific class of products to the
Federal Government within 24 months
from the date of the request for waiver,
either directly or through a dealer, or
have submitted an offer on a solicitation
for that class of products within that
time frame. 13 CFR 121.1202(c). SBA
defines ‘‘class of products’’ as an
individual subdivision within a
(NAICS) Industry Number as established
by the Office of Management and
Budget in the NAICS Manual. 13 CFR
121.1202(d). In addition, SBA uses
(PSCs) to further identify particular
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
products within the NAICS code to
which a waiver would apply.
On July 12, 2012, SBA received a
request to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for commercial ovens and broilers,
PSC 7310, under NAICS code 333319
(Other Commercial and Service Industry
Machinery Manufacturing). SBA notes
that at the time of the request, these
items were classified under NAICS code
333319. However, effective October 1,
2012, SBA published revised NAICS
codes and Small Business Size
Standards, for purposes of Government
procurement. As a result of this change,
NAICS code 333319 is eliminated from
the 2012 NAICS code listing and the
items requested for waiver are now
listed under the 2012 NAICS code
333318.
The public is invited to comment or
provide source information to SBA on
the proposed waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for the products
described in this notice within 45 days
after the date of publication in the
Federal Register.

Federal Aviation Administration
Approval of Noise Compatibility
Program for Tweed-New Haven
Regional Airport
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the Tweed-New
Haven Airport Authority under the
provisions of Title I of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR part 150.
These findings are made in recognition
of the description of federal and nonfederal responsibilities in Senate Report
No. 96–52 (1980). On November 26,
2012, the FAA determined that the
noise exposure maps submitted by the
City of Portland under Part 150 were in
compliance with applicable
requirements. On May 9, 2013, the New
England Region Airports Division
Regional Manager approved the noise
compatibility program. Seventeen of the
proposed program elements were
approved, or approved in part. Four of
the elements were disapproved.

Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region,
Airports Division, 12 New England
Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803, Telephone (781)
238–7613. Documents reflecting this
FAA action may be obtained from the
same individual.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the TweedNew Haven Regional Airport noise
compatibility program, effective May 9,
2013.
Under Section 104(a) of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(hereinafter the Act), an airport operator
who has previously submitted a noise
exposure map may submit to the FAA
a noise compatibility program which
sets forth the measures taken or
proposed by the airport operator for the
reduction of existing non-compatible
land uses and prevention of additional
non-compatible land uses within the
area covered by the noise exposure
maps.
The Act requires such programs to be
developed in consultation with
interested and affected parties including
local communities, government
agencies, airport users, and FAA
personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility
program developed in accordance with
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR), Part
150 is a local program, not a federal
program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the airport
proprietor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of FAR Part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
Part 150 and the Act, and is limited to
the following determinations:
(a) The noise compatibility program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of FAR Part
150;
(b) program measures are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing non-compatible land
uses around the airport and preventing
the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses;
(c) program measures would not
create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate
against types or classes of aeronautical
uses, violate the terms of airport grant
agreements, or intrude into areas

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act
(Act), 15 USC 637(a)(17), and SBA's implementing regulations require
that recipients of Federal contracts for supplies which are set aside
for small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) small
businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), or Participants in
SBA's 8(a) BD Program must 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). Section
8(a)(17)(B)(iv)(II) 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

been awarded or have performed a contract to supply a specific class of
products to the Federal Government within 24 months from the date of
the request for waiver, either directly or through a dealer, or have

particular products within the NAICS code to which a waiver would
apply.
On July 12, 2012, SBA received a request to waive the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for commercial ovens and broilers, PSC 7310, under
NAICS code 333319 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery
Manufacturing). SBA notes that at the time of the request, these items
were classified under NAICS code 333319. However, effective October 1,
2012, SBA published revised NAICS codes and Small Business Size
Standards, for purposes of Government procurement. As a result of this
change, NAICS code 333319 is eliminated from the 2012 NAICS code
listing and the items requested for waiver are now listed under the
2012 NAICS code 333318.
The public is invited to comment or provide source information to
SBA on the proposed waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for the products
described in this notice within 45 days after the date of publication
in the Federal Register.
