SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
13 CFR Part 121
RIN 3245-AG22
Small Business Subcontracting; Correction
AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) published a final
rule in the Federal Register on July 16, 2013 (78 FR 42391), amending
its regulations governing small business subcontracting. That document
amended Sec. 121.411 without incorporating the amendments made to that
section by a final rule published on June 28, 2013 (78 FR 38811), which
unintentionally resulted in duplicate paragraphs. This document
corrects the final regulations by properly designating the paragraphs
in Sec. 121.411.
DATES: Effective May 23, 2014
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dean Koppel, Office of Government
Contracting, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street SW.,
8th Floor, Washington, DC 20416, (202) 205-7322, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2013, SBA published a final rule
to implement provisions in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010
pertaining to small business size and status integrity. 78 FR 38811.
That rule amended 13 CFR 121.411 by adding new paragraphs (d) through
(h). On July 16, 2013, at 78 FR 42391, SBA published a second final
rule to implement provisions, also in the Small Business Jobs Act of
2010, concerning subcontracting compliance. In pertinent part, this
final rule amended 13 CFR 121.411. However, in so doing, SBA
inadvertently failed to incorporate the new paragraphs added to Sec.
121.411 by the final rule published on June 28, 2013. When SBA
published the rule on July 16, 2013, the Agency should have amended
Sec. 121.411 by revising paragraph (a), redesignating paragraphs (b)
through (h) as paragraphs (c) through (i), and adding a new paragraph
(b). As a result of the Agency's oversight, the current regulations in
Sec. 121.411 contain two paragraphs (d). This correcting amendment is
necessary to ensure the proper designation of the paragraphs in that
section.
