Small Business Size Standards: Size Standards Methodology

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is advising the public that it is making available a White Paper putting forth and explaining how it establishes, reviews and modifies (when appropriate) small business size standards. The document, entitled "Size Standards Methodology," is available on SBA's Web site where any interested party can review and/or download it. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register SBA has published three proposed rules that would, if adopted, modify a number of size standards in three North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sectors, namely: Sector 44-45, Retail Trade; Sector 72, Accommodation and Food Services; and Sector 81, Other Services. SBA has applied "Size Standards Methodology" to those three proposed rules and will apply it to future regulatory actions that relate to establishing, reviewing and modifying size standards. The Agency welcomes comments on "Size Standards Methodology" and on the three proposed rules elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. "Size Standards Methodology," is available electronically from the SBA's Web site at: http://www.sba.gov/size.
