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.
