Necessary conditions for the existence of a super‐simple, decomposable, near‐resolvable ( v , 4 , 6 ) ‐balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) whose 2‐component subdesigns are both near‐resolvable ( v , 4 , 3 ) ‐BIBDs are v ≡ 1 (mod 4 ) and v ≥ 17 . In this paper, we show that these necessary conditions are sufficient. Using these designs, we also establish that the necessary conditions for the existence of a super‐simple near‐resolvable ( v , 4 , 3 ) ‐RBIBD, namely v ≡ 1 (mod 4 ) and v ≥ 9 , are sufficient. A few new pairwise balanced designs are also given.
