Request for Public Comment on Waiver Revisions for Certain Medications and Suggestions for Risk Evaluation
Document Number: 2015-01623
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-01-28
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard is seeking public comment on the policy clarification proposed in this Notice regarding the criteria for granting medical waivers to mariners who require the use of potentially impairing prescription medications. The Coast Guard is also seeking input regarding effective methods of risk evaluation of such mariners. Current Coast Guard guidance states that the ``use of certain medications is considered disqualifying for the issuance of credentials,'' and that ``the underlying cause or need for use of these medications and potential side effects may result in denial of a credential application or require a waiver.'' Current guidance specifically identifies that use of benzodiazepine medications, opioid and opiate medications, non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotic medications, and barbiturate medications require a waiver, but does not specify the factors that the Coast Guard will consider in making its determination on whether the risks associated with use of these medications are low enough to warrant consideration for a waiver. The Coast Guard is proposing additions to the current medication policy that will clarify the circumstances that the Coast Guard will consider when determining whether to grant a medical waiver for use of these medications. Additionally, the Coast Guard is proposing to include a safety warning to mariners advising them to refrain from use of impairing medications while operating under the authority of their credential. The Coast Guard is seeking comments from the public on whether the proposed policy adequately addresses safety concerns regarding merchant mariners whose medical conditions require the use of medications that have the potential to impair cognitive ability, judgment or reaction time.
Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule
Document Number: 2015-01622
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-01-28
Agency: Small Business Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Scientific Vacuum Pumps. On October 1, 2014, SBA received a request that a class waiver be granted for scientific vacuum pumps under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 333911 (Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing), Product Service Code (PSC) 4310 (Compressors and Vacuum Pumps). 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 scientific vacuum pump manufacturers. If granted, the waiver would allow otherwise qualified small businesses to supply the products of any manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) small businesses, Women-Owned small businesses (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned small businesses (EDWOSB), or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program.
