executing on BOX, such increase will
represent a large percentage increase for
BOX but it will represent a minimal
reduction in volume of its larger
competitors in the industry. The
Exchange believes that the Program will
help further competition, because
market participants will have yet
another additional option in
determining where to execute orders
and post liquidity if they factor the
benefits of the Program and BOX equity
participation into the determination.
Finally, the Program will increase the
diversity of ownership of Holdings such
that no one entity will have a majority
ownership of Holdings. Upon the
issuance of Class C Units to Subscribers,
the ownership of Holdings will be
distributed among more holders. If there
is full participation in the Program, then
the ownership of Holdings by current
Unitholders will be diluted and no
single Unitholder will have a majority
ownership of Holdings.

Notice of intent to waive the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Scientific
Vacuum Pumps.
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, ServiceDisabled 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.
DATES: Comments and source

Abstract of proposed collection:
The information collected from

Methodology:
The State Department has
implemented a Risk Analysis and
Management Program to vet potential
contractors and grantees seeking
funding from the Department of State to
mitigate the risk that such funds might
benefit entities or individuals who
present a national security risk. To
conduct this vetting program the
Department collects information from
contractors, sub-contractors, grantees
and sub-grantees regarding their
directors, officers and/or key employees
through mail, fax or electronic
submission. The information collected
is compared to information gathered
from commercial, public, and U.S.
government databases to determine the
risk that the applying organization,
entity or individual might use
Department funds or programs in a way
that presents a threat to national
security. This program will continue as
a pilot program as directed by Congress
in the Department of State, Foreign
Operations, and Related Programs
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Div. J, Pub. L.
113–235).
