Small Business Size Standards; Testing Laboratories

The proposed rule proposes to increase the size standard for Testing Laboratories from $6 million to $10 million under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541380. The proposed revision is being made to better define the size of businesses in this industry that SBA believes should be eligible for Federal small business assistance programs. The proposed rule was published on April 9, 2002, 67 FR 17020. The comment period closed on June 10, 2002. We are reopening the comment period until September 30, 2002, because the SBA believes that affected businesses need more time to adequately respond.
