SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act 
(the Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), and SBA's implementing regulations 
generally require that recipients of Federal supply contracts that are 
set aside for small businesses, Small Disabled Veteran Owned Small 
Business Concerns, Women-Owned Small Businesses, or Participants in the 
SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program provide the product of a 
domestic 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). 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 or received a contract 
from the Federal government within the last 24 months. 13 CFR 
121.1202(c). SBA defines ``class of products'' as an individual 
subdivision within a North American Industry Classification System 
(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 
Product Service Codes (PSCs) to further identify particular products 
within the NAICS code to which a waiver would apply. SBA may then 
identify a specific item within a PSC and NAICS code to which a class 
waiver would apply.
    On April 4, 2013, SBA published a notice in the Federal Register 
announcing that SBA was considering rescinding a class waiver of the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Aerospace Ball and Roller Bearings, NAICS code 
332991, PSC 3110, based on information submitted by several small 
business manufacturers of aerospace ball and roller bearings that have 
done business with the Federal government within the previous two 
years. 78 FR 20371. The public comment period for the notice to rescind 
the class waiver for Aerospace Ball and Roller Bearings closed on June 
3, 2013. This notice announces a reopening of the public comment period 
until 14 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register.
