SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute of Standards and 
Technology (NIST) recently published notices in the Federal Register 
announcing the availability of funds for Small Grants Programs (January 
5, 2005), the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) Programs 
(December 27, 2004), and for the Precision Measurement Grants Program 
(December 27, 2004). This document amends each of these announcements 
by updating the citation to the Department of Commerce Pre-Award 
Notification Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements printed 
in the Supplementary Information section of each notice. The Department 
of Commerce Pre-Award Notification Requirements for Grants and 
Cooperative Agreements contained in the Federal Register notice of 
December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78389) is applicable to the three notices 
mentioned above. On the form SF-424, the applicant's 9-digit Dun and 
Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number must be 
entered in the Applicant Identifier block.

Classification

    It has been determined that this rule is not significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    Prior notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required 
by the Administrative Procedure Act for rules concerning public 
property, loans, grants, benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). 
Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required pursuant to 
5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are inapplicable. 
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and has 
not been prepared.

    Dated: February 3, 2005.
Hratch G. Semerjian,
Acting Director.
