SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is correcting a 

proposed rule that appeared in the 

Federal Register on September 10, 2014 

(79 FR 53646). The document proposed 

to modify the size standards for a 

number of industries that are not part of 

North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) Sector 31–33 

(Manufacturing), Sector 42 (Wholesale 

Trade), or Sector 44–45 (Retail Trade). 

The document included a proposal to 

eliminate the Offshore Marine Air 

Transportation Services ‘‘exception’’ 

under NAICS 481211 and 481212 and 

the Offshore Marine Services 

‘‘exception’’ under NAICS Subsector 

483 and their $30.5 million receipts 

based size standard. The proposed 

changes included removing Footnote 15 

and Footnote 18 from the table of size 

standards. However, where the 

supplementary information of the 

proposed rule refers to the Offshore 

Marine ‘‘exception’’ under NAICS 

481211 and 481212, and under NAICS 

Subsector 483, it incorrectly states that 

$28 million is the current size standard. 

In addition, where the supplementary 

information of the proposed rule refers 

to the Information Technology Value 

Added Reseller (ITVAR) ‘‘exception’’ 

under NAICS 541519, it incorrectly 

states that the $25.5 million is the 

current size standard. SBA had 

increased all monetary based size 

standards for inflation, including these, 

effective July 14, 2014 (79 FR 33647). 

Because of the increase for inflation, the 

correct size standard in the 

supplementary information to the 

September 10, 2014 proposed rule that 

read $28 million referenced above 

should have read $30.5 million. 

Similarly, because of the increase for 

inflation, the correct size standard in the 

discussion of eliminating Footnote 18 

and the ITVAR ‘‘exception’’ in the 

supplementary information to the 

September 10, 2014 proposed rule that 

read $25.5 million should have read 

$27.5 million. This action corrects the 

above stated size standards for these 

‘‘exceptions.’’
