The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on October 2, 2013, which amended its regulations governing small business prime contracting by implementing provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. That rule was published with inadvertent errors in two of the regulatory sections.
Those errors are corrected in this document.
Dean Koppel, Office of Government Contracting, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street SW., 8th Floor, Washington, DC 20416; (202) 205-7322.
On October 2, 2013, SBA published a final rule to implement provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 pertaining to small business contracting procedures. 78 FR 61114. As discussed in detail below, the rule contained inadvertent errors in the instructions for sections 125.6 and 127.503, which affected the final regulatory text for those sections.
In § 125.6, SBA intended to amend paragraph (a) by revising the introductory text only. However, the final rule contained an instruction to revise paragraph (a). As a result, the final rule inadvertently removed paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4). SBA is correcting § 125.6 by reinserting these paragraphs.
In § 127.503, SBA intended to remove paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(2) and redesignate paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) as paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(2), respectively. However, the rule mistakenly instructed to revise paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), (b)(1), and (b)(2). As a result of this erroneous instruction, paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) were not redesignated and are currently Start Printed Page 31849duplicates of paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(2). SBA is correcting this duplication in § 127.503 by removing paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3).
Accordingly, 13 CFR Parts 125 and 127 are corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 632(p), (q); 634(b)(6); 637; 644, 657(f); and 657(q).
2. Amend § 125.6 by adding paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) to read as follows:
What are the prime contractor performance requirements (limitations on subcontracting)?
3. The authority for part 127 continues to read as follows:
4. In § 127.503, remove paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3).
