BILLING CODE 6820–EP–P

48 CFR Part 19

[FAC 90–39; FAR Case 94–600; Item VIII]

Federal Acquisition Regulation; Small

Business Size Standards

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD),

General Services Administration (GSA),

and National Aeronautics and Space

Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Amendments in this

document will bring the Federal

Acquisition Regulation into

conformance with revised small

business size standards published by

the Small Business Administration

(SBA). This regulatory action was not

subject to Office of Management and

Budget review under Executive Order

12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is

not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 20, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Linda Klein at (202) 501–3775. For

general information, contact the FAR

Secretariat, Room 4037, GS Building,

Washington, DC 20405, (202) 501–4755.

Please cite FAC 90–39 (FAR case 94–

600).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

SBA has revised its size standards

regulations at 13 CFR Part 121 (61 FR

3280, January 31, 1996), effective March

1, 1996. Corrections were published (61

FR 6412, February 20, 1996; 61 FR 7306,

February 27, 1996; and 61 FR 7986,

March 1, 1996). As a result, the table of

Size Standards shown in the FAR at

19.102 has been revised to reflect the

changes made by SBA through March

1996.

SBA currently has two size standards

publications available via the Internet

on SBA ONLINE. They are the table of

Size Standards, which currently

appears in the FAR, and a copy of 13

CFR 121, the Size Regulations,

published in the Federal Register on

January 31, 1996.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

These changes derive directly from

SBAs regulations, without substantive

change. Therefore, the final rule does

not constitute a significant FAR revision

within the meaning of FAR 1.501 and

Public Law 98–577, and publication for

public comments is not required. The

Regulatory Flexibility Act does not

apply. However, comments from small

entities concerning the affected subpart

will be considered in accordance with 5

U.S.C. 610. Such comments must be

submitted separately and cite 5 U.S.C.

601, et seq. (FAC 90–39, FAR case 94–

600), in correspondence.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because the changes to the

FAR do not impose recordkeeping or

information collection requirements, or

collections of information from offerors,

contractors, or members of the public

which require the approval of the Office

of Management and Budget under 44

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 19

Government procurement.

Dated: June 4, 1996.

Edward C. Loeb,

Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division.

Therefore, 48 CFR Part 19 is amended

as set forth below:

PART 19—SMALL BUSINESS

PROGRAMS

1. The authority citation for 48 CFR

Part 19 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 40 U.S.C. 486(c); 10 U.S.C.

chapter 137; and 42 U.S.C. 2473(c).

2. Section 19.102 is amended by

revising the table consisting of industry

size standards and revising the footnotes

to read as follows:

19.102 Size standards.

1SIC code 1629—Dredging: To be considered small for purposes of Government procurement, a firm must perform at least 40 percent of the

volume dredged with its own equipment or equipment owned by another small dredging concern. 2SIC Division D—Manufacturing: For rebuilding machinery or equipment on a factory basis, or equivalent, use the SIC code for a newly manufactured product. Concerns performing major rebuilding or overhaul activities do not necessarily have to meet the criteria for being a ‘‘manufacturer’’ although the activities may be classified under a manufacturing SIC code. Ordinary repair services or preservation are not considered rebuilding. 3SIC code 2033: For purposes of Government procurement for food canning and preserving, the standard of 500 employees excludes agricultural labor as defined in 3306(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 3306(k). 4SIC code 2911: For purposes of Government procurement, the firm may not have more than 1,500 employees nor more than 75,000 barrels

per day capacity of petroleum-based inputs, including crude oil or bona fide feedstocks. Capacity includes owned or leased facilities as well as

facilities under a processing agreement or an arrangement such as an exchange agreement or a throughput. The total product to be delivered

under the contract must be at least 90 percent refined by the successful bidder from either crude oil or bona fide feedstocks. 5SIC code 3011: For purposes of Government procurement, a firm is small for bidding on a contract for pneumatic tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112, provided that:

(1) The value of tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112 which it manufactured in the United States during the previous calendar year is more than 50 percent of the value of its total worldwide manufacture,

(2) the value of pneumatic tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 30112 comprising its total worldwide manufacture during the

preceding calendar year was less than 5 percent of the value of all such tires manufactured in the United States during that period, and

(3) the value of the principal product which it manufactured or otherwise produced, or sold worldwide during the preceding calendar year is

less than 10 percent of the total value of such products manufactured or otherwise produced or sold in the United States during that period. 6SIC codes 4724, 6531, 7311, 7312, 7313, 7319, and 8741 (part): As measured by total revenues, but excluding funds received in trust for an

unaffiliated third party, such as bookings or sales subject to commissions. The commissions received are included as revenue. 7A financial institution’s assets are determined by averaging the assets reported on its four quarterly financial statements for the preceding

year.

Assets for the purposes of this size standard means the assets defined according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council 034

call report form. 8SIC code 6515: Leasing of building space to the Federal Government by Owners: For Government procurement, a size standard of $15.0

million in gross receipts applies to the owners of building space leased to the Federal Government. The standard does not apply to an agent. 9SIC codes 7699 and 3728: Contracts for the rebuilding or overhaul of aircraft ground support equipment on a contract basis are classified

under SIC code 3728.
31642 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 120 / Thursday, June 20, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

10SIC code 8731: For research and development contracts requiring the delivery of a manufactured product, the appropriate size standard is

that of the manufacturing industry.

(1) Research and Development means laboratory or other physical research and development. It does not include economic, educational, engineering, operations, systems, or other nonphysical research; or computer programming, data processing, commercial and/or medical laboratory

testing.

(2) For purposes of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program only, a different definition has been established by law. See

121.701 of these regulations.

(3) Research and development for guided missiles and space vehicles includes evaluations and simulation, and other services requiring thorough knowledge of complete missiles and spacecraft. 11Facilities Management, a component of SIC code 8744, includes establishments, not elsewhere classified, which provide overall management and the personnel to perform a variety of related support services in operating a complete facility in or around a specific building, or within

another business or Government establishment. Facilities management means furnishing three or more personnel supply services which may include, but are not limited to, secretarial services, typists, telephone answering, reproduction or mimeograph service, mailing service, financial or

business management, public relations, conference planning, travel arrangements, word processing, maintaining files and/or libraries, switchboard operation, writers, bookkeeping, minor office equipment maintenance and repair, or use of information systems (not programming). 12SIC code 8744: (1) If one of the activities of base maintenance, as defined below, can be identified with a separate industry and that activity

(or industry) accounts for 50 percent or more of the value of an entire contract, then the proper size standard is that of the particular industry,

and not the base maintenance size standard.

(2) ‘‘Base Maintenance’’ requires the performance of three or more separate activities in the areas of service or special trade construction industries. If services are performed, these activities must each be in a separate SIC code including, but not limited to, Janitorial and Custodial

Service, Fire Prevention Service, Messenger Service, Commissary Service, Protective Guard Service, and Grounds Maintenance and Landscaping Service. If the contract requires the use of special trade contractors (plumbing, painting, plastering, carpentry, etc.), all such special trade

construction activities are considered a single activity and classified as Base Housing Maintenance. Since Base Housing Maintenance is only

one activity, two additional activities are required for a contract to be classified as ‘‘Base Maintenance.’’ 13SIC code 8744: (1) For SBA assistance as a small business concern in the industry of Environmental Remediation Services, other than for

Government procurement, a concern must be engaged primarily in furnishing a range of services for the remediation of a contaminated environment to an acceptable condition including, but not limited to, preliminary assessment, site inspection, testing, remedial investigation, feasibility

studies, remedial design, containment, remedial action, removal of contaminated materials, storage of contaminated materials and security and

site closeouts. If one of such activities accounts for 50 percent or more of a concern’s total revenues, employees, or other related factors, the

concern’s primary industry is that of the particular industry and not the Environmental Remediation Services Industry.

(2) For purposes of classifying a Government procurement as Environmental Remediation Services, the general purpose of the procurement

must be to restore a contaminated environment and also the procurement must be composed of activities in three or more separate industries

with separate SIC codes or, in some instances (e.g., engineering), smaller sub-components of SIC codes with separate, distinct size standards.

These activities may include, but are not limited to, separate activities in industries such as: Heavy Construction; Special Trade Construction; Engineering Services; Architectural Services; Management Services; Refuse Systems; Sanitary Services, Not Elsewhere Classified; Local Trucking

Without Storage; Testing Laboratories; and Commercial, Physical and Biological Research. If any activity in the procurement can be identified

with a separate SIC code, or component of a code with a separate distinct size standard, and that industry accounts for 50 percent or more of

the value of the entire procurement, then the proper size standard is the one for that particular industry, and not the Environmental Remediation

Service size standard.

RIN 9000–AG07

Federal Acquisition Regulation; Master

Subcontracting Plans

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD),

General Services Administration (GSA),

and National Aeronautics and Space

Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency

Acquisition Council and the Defense

Acquisition Regulations Council have

agreed on a final rule to amend the

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to

permit master subcontracting plans to

be written for a three-year period and to

emphasize that it is incumbent upon

contractors to maintain and update

master plans. This regulatory action was

not subject to Office of Management and

Budget review under Executive Order

12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is

not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Linda Klein at (202) 501–3775 in

reference to this FAR case. For general

information, contact the FAR

Secretariat, Room 4037, GS Building,

Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501–4755.

Please cite FAC 90–39, FAR case 92–

039.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

A proposed rule was published in the

Federal Register on September 8, 1994

(59 FR 46385). The proposed rule

amended FAR 19.704(b) and 52.219–9

to permit master subcontracting plans to

be written for a three-year period with

contractors making changes/updates to

master subcontracting plans as

necessary. After evaluating public

comments, the Councils have agreed to

add language at FAR 19.704(b) stating

that changes required to update master

subcontracting plans are not effective

until approved by the contracting

officer.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of Defense, the

General Services Administration, and

the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration certify that this final

rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities within the

meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because small

businesses are exempt from

subcontracting plan requirements, and

the rule does not change the contractor’s

obligation to maximize subcontracting

opportunities for small business

concerns. No comments were received

on the impact of this rule on small

entities during the public comment

period.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13) is deemed to apply

because the final rule contains

information collection requirements.

This final rule will result in an

estimated reduction in the number of

subcontract plans per year and

associated hours. Consequently, a

revised clearance for OMB Control

Number 9000–0006 was submitted to

OMB. The revised clearance has been

approved through October 31, 1997.

OMB Control Number 9000–0006 has

recently been further revised by FAR

case 94–780, and approval has been

extended through March 31, 1998.
