ACTION: Notification of waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for diabetic test strips. AGENCY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is granting a class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) for diabetic test strips under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 325413 and Product Service Code (PSC) 6515. This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing diabetic test strips. DATES: This action is effective August 17, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carol J. Hulme, Attorney Advisor, by telephone at (202) 205–6347 or by email at carol-ann.hulme@sba.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) and 46 of the Small Business Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17) and 657s, and SBA’s implementing regulations khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: 9 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Jul 16, 2020 Jkt 250001 require that recipients of Federal supply contracts issued as a small business setaside (except as stated below), servicedisabled veteran-owned small business (SDVO SB) set-aside or sole source contract, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) set-aside or sole source contract, WOSB (womenowned small business) or economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) set-aside or sole source contract, 8(a) set-aside or sole source contract, partial set-aside, or set aside of an order against a multiple award contract 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 (NMR). 13 CFR 121.406(b). Note that the NMR does not apply to small business set-aside acquisitions with an estimated value between the micro-purchase threshold and the simplified acquisition threshold. Sections 8(a)(17)(B)(iv)(II) and 46(a)(4)(B) of the Act authorize SBA to waive the NMR for a ‘‘class of products’’ for which there are no small business manufacturers or processors available to participate in the Federal market. The SBA defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on a combination of (1) the sixdigit NAICS code, (2) the four-digit PSC, and (3) a description of the class of products. As implemented in SBA’s regulations at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), 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 solicitation or been awarded a contract to supply the class of products within the last 24 months. SBA received a request to waive the NMR for diabetic testing strips under NAICS code 325413 and PSC 6515. According to that request, submitted with supporting information, there are no small business manufacturers of these items in the Federal market. On April 20, 2020 (85 FR 08304), the SBA issued a Notice of Intent to grant a class waiver for diabetic test strips. SBA received no comments in response to the Notice. Therefore, in the absence of a small business manufacturer of diabetic test strips, this class waiver is necessary to allow otherwise qualified regular dealers to supply the product of any manufacturer on a Federal contract or order set aside for small business, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone or participants in the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program. SBA’s waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule has PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 no effect on the requirements in 13 CFR 121.406(b)(1)(i) to (iii) and on requirements external to the Small Business Act which involve domestic sources of supply, such as the Buy American Act or the Trade Agreements Act.

In order to improve program monitoring, PEPFAR added reporting of expenditures by program area to the current routine reporting of program results for the annual report. Data are collected from implementing partners in countries with PEPFAR programs using a standard tool (DS–4213) via an electronic web-based interface into which users upload data. These expenditures are analyzed by partner for all PEPFAR program areas. These analyses then feed into partner and program reviews at the country level for monitoring and evaluation on an ongoing basis.

Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was 
established through enactment of the United States Leadership Against 
HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act (Pub. L. 108-25), as amended by 
the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership 
Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act (Pub. 
L. 110-293) (HIV/AIDS Leadership Act), as amended by the PEPFAR 
Stewardship and Oversight Act (Pub. L. 113-56), and as amended and 
reauthorized for a third time by the PEPFAR Extension Act (Pub. L. 115-
305) to support the global response to HIV/AIDS. In order to improve 
program monitoring, PEPFAR added reporting of expenditures by program 
area to the current routine reporting of program results for the annual 
report. Data are collected from implementing partners in countries with 
PEPFAR programs using a standard tool (DS-4213) via an electronic web-
based interface into which users upload data. These expenditures are 
analyzed by partner for all PEPFAR program areas. These analyses then 
feed into partner and program reviews at the country level for 
monitoring and evaluation on an ongoing basis. Summaries of these data 
provide key information about program costs under PEPFAR on a global 
level. Applying expenditure results will improve strategic budgeting, 
identification of efficient means of delivering services, and accuracy 
in defining program targets; and will inform allocation of resources to 
ensure the program is accountable and using public funds for maximum 
impact.

Methodology

    Data will continue to be collected in a web-based interface 
available to all partners receiving funds under PEPFAR. After 
implementing Expenditure Reporting since 2012, we learned that 
implementing partners (IPs) prefer the Microsoft Excel template based 
data collection process. The requirements in the Excel template have 
been reduced with IP input to only request critical information. By 
being able to download a template, prime IPs responsible to complete 
the submission are more effectively able to collaborate quickly with 
other key personnel and coordinate with their subrecipients to enter 
the data for the full amount of PEPFAR funding expended during the 
prior fiscal year. This approach also proves helpful where internet 
connectivity is not strong. After completing the Excel template, IPs 
upload the data to an automated system that further checks the data 
entered for quality and completeness. Automated checks reduce the time 
needed by IPs to complete the data cleaning process. Aggregate data is 
available in a central system for analysis.

Director of Management and Budget.
