Small Business Innovation Research Program Policy Directive

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of proposed policy directive; Notice of reopening of the 
comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed rule proposes revisions to the Small Business 
Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Policy Directive. The revised 
proposed policy directive reflects recently enacted statutory 
requirements. It is proposed to provide guidance to participating 
Federal agencies for the general conduct of the SBIR Program. The 
notice of proposed policy directive was published on May 18, 2001, 66 
FR 27721. The comment period closed on June 18, 2001. We are reopening 
the comment period because the Small Business Administration believes 
that affected businesses need more time to adequately respond.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed policy directive published 
on May 18, 2001 (66 FR 27721) is reopened through July 23, 2001.
