Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
Document Number: 2014-08088
Type: Notice
Date: 2014-04-11
Agency: Small Business Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is rescinding four class waivers of the Nonmanufacturer Rule which were classified under NAICS code 335999 (All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing) and which were further classified under Product Service Codes (PSCs) 5999, 6210, 6240, and 6250. The class waiver applicable to PSC 5999 (Miscellaneous Electrical and Electronic Components) is being rescinded because it has been determined that several small business manufacturers of miscellaneous electrical equipment are currently available to participate in the Federal marketplace. The class waivers applicable to PSCs 6210, 6240, and 6250 are being rescinded because it has been determined that they were each improperly classified under NAICS code 335999. In order to correct this error, SBA is granting three new class waivers under the correct NAICS codes. Specifically, SBA is granting class waivers for the following: (1) NAICS code 335122 (Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Electric Lighting Fixture Manufacturing), PSC 6210 (Indoor and Outdoor Electrical Lighting Fixtures); (2) NAICS code 335110 (Electric Lamp Bulb and Part Manufacturing), PSC 6240 (Electric Lamps); and (3) NAICS Code 335311 (Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing), PSC 6250 (Ballasts, Lampholders, and Starters). SBA is taking these actions in response to public comments and SBA's independent analysis. The effect of the rescission of the four class waivers will be to require recipients of Federal supply contracts assigned NAICS code 335999 that are set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, women-owned small businesses, or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program to provide the products of a domestic small business manufacturer or processor, unless an individual waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule is granted by SBA. The effect of the three new class waivers will be to allow otherwise qualified small business regular dealers to supply products of a domestic manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, women-owned small businesses, or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) BD program, where the class of products being procured is classified under PSC 6210, 6240, or 6250.

The guarantee may be approved for a single loan or a revolving line of credit. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank the guaranteed lender may seek payment by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to12 U.S.C. 635 (a)(1), to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant working capital guarantee. The Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss, Working Capital Guarantee is used to determine compliance with the terms of the guarantee and the appropriateness of paying a claim. Export-Import Bank customers are able to submit this form on paper or electronically. The information collection tool can be reviewed at: https:// www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib10-04.pdf

Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution; Electrical Protective Equipment
Document Number: 2013-29579
Type: Rule
Date: 2014-04-11
Agency: Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
OSHA last issued rules for the construction of transmission and distribution installations in 1972. Those provisions are now out of date and inconsistent with the more recently promulgated general industry standard covering the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution lines and equipment. OSHA is revising the construction standard to make it more consistent with the general industry standard and is making some revisions to both the construction and general industry requirements. The final rules for general industry and construction include new or revised provisions on host employers and contractors, training, job briefings, fall protection, insulation and working position of employees working on or near live parts, minimum approach distances, protection from electric arcs, deenergizing transmission and distribution lines and equipment, protective grounding, operating mechanical equipment near overhead power lines, and working in manholes and vaults. The revised standards will ensure that employers, when appropriate, must meet consistent requirements for work performed under the construction and general industry standards. The final rule also revises the general industry and construction standards for electrical protective equipment. The existing construction standard for the design of electrical protective equipment, which applies only to electric power transmission and distribution work, adopts several national consensus standards by reference. The new standard for electrical protective equipment, which matches the corresponding general industry standard, applies to all construction work and replaces the incorporation of out-of-date consensus standards with a set of performance-oriented requirements that is consistent with the latest revisions of the relevant consensus standards. The final construction rule also includes new requirements for the safe use and care of electrical protective equipment to complement the equipment design provisions. Both the general industry and construction standards for electrical protective equipment will include new requirements for equipment made of materials other than rubber. OSHA is also revising the general industry standard for foot protection. This standard applies to employers performing work on electric power generation, transmission, and distribution installations, as well as employers in other industries. The final rule removes the requirement for employees to wear protective footwear as protection against electric shock.
