Federal Register :: Small Business Size Standards; Inflation Adjustment to Size Standards
A Rule by the Small Business Administration on 01/23/2002
3041-3057 (17 pages)
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/02-1312 https://www.federalregister.gov/d/02-1312
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is adjusting its monetary-based size standards, (e.g., receipts, net income, net worth, and assets) for the effect of inflation. This action is intended to maintain the value of size standards in inflation-adjusted terms. From 1994 to the third quarter of 2001 the general level of prices in the United States increased approximately 15.8% as measured by the chain-type price index for gross domestic product. This change will restore eligibility to firms that may have lost small business status solely due to the effect of inflation.
Effective Date: This regulation becomes effective on February 22, 2002.
Send comments to Gary M. Jackson, Assistant Administrator for Size Standards, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third St., SW., Mail Code 6530, Washington, DC 20416; or, via e-mail to SIZESTANDARDS@sba.gov.
As described in § 121.102(a), SBA examines a number of economic characteristics in developing size standards. Inflation is one of many considerations in this process. SBA does not believe it is appropriate to automatically adjust size standards for inflation since other factors influence the setting of size standards. For example, changes in industry characteristics or in SBA's policies may render an inflation adjustment unnecessary or inappropriate. Under this provision, if a significant amount of inflation occurs in the economy within a five-year period, SBA will consider an inflation adjustment on a more frequent basis. SBA invites the public to comment on this policy and to suggest alternative procedures.
Small business size standards are based on the six-digit industry codes of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). In addition, SBA has several programs that have their own size standards (e.g., Surety Bond Guaranteed Assistance, Sale of Government Property, etc.). The size standards that SBA is changing are those that are receipts based and those based upon other monetary measures. Start Printed Page 3042Employee-based, production-based, and those established by legislation are unaffected by inflation, and thus, not part of this rulemaking. Those standards that have been changed since the last inflation adjustment in 1994 will be increased accordingly. However, some receipt-based standards that were recently increased will not be adjusted as the inflation effect has already been factored into the new size standard. Full details of this adjustment are contained in the table, at the end of the preamble, which lists the affected industries according to NAICS.
1. Selection of an appropriate inflation indicator. We used the chain-type price index for gross domestic product (GDP) as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), which is a broad measure of inflation for the economy as a whole, and is available on a quarterly basis. In the past, SBA used the implicit price deflator for GDP. Since that time the BEA has produced an improved price index, the chain-type price index for GDP, that more accurately reflects inflation. This type of index relies on annual price weights rather than on the fixed price weight that the implicit price deflator relied upon. For more information, see J. Steven Landefeld and Robert P. Parker's article “BEA's Chain Indexes, Time Series, and Measures of Long-Term Economic Growth” in the May 1997 issue of Survey of Current Business. This article may also be found at http://www.bea.doc.gov/​bea/​an/​0597od/​maintext.htm, or it may be obtained by calling the Government Printing Office at (202) 512-1800.
4. Calculation of inflation. Based on these price indices, inflation increased 15.8% between the base and ending periods [((109.8/94.79) −1.00) × 100=15.8%].
Agriculture, the Very Small Business Set-Aside program, and Small Business Investment Company Program's Smaller Enterprise size standard Set by statute.
Travel and Real Estate Agents, Cattle Feedlots, and Architects and Engineers (A&E) with size standards of $1.0M, $1.5M, and $4.0M, respectively A 15.8% and 2.9% (A&E) adjustment would be too small to warrant an increase. The A&E size standards were increased in June of 1999.
Eligibility criteria for small business receiving assistance from Small Business Investments Companies (SBIC) Program In 1994, the average net worth and net income criteria were increased threefold. Current size standards are inclusive for purposes of the SBIC Program and no further increase is deemed necessary at this time.
The Construction and Refuse Collection size standards were increased in June 2000 to account for inflation through the end of 1999. Since that time, an additional 4.3% inflation has occurred [the chain-type price index for GDP was 105.28 at the fourth quarter of 1999 ((109.8/105.28)−1.00) × 100=1.043, or 4.3%]. To adjust all size standards to the same common period with respect to inflation, the Construction and Refuse Collection size standards are being adjusted by 4.3%. The Dredging size standard of $17 million, however, is not being adjusted since that size standard was based on an analysis of specific industry cost data and other industry considerations.
The size standard for sales of government property, currently at $2 million, is increasing to $6.0 million. This especially large increase is being made due to an earlier oversight, in that this size standard was not raised from $2 million for inflation in 1984 or 1994. Therefore it is being increased to $6.0 million to bring it up to the present-day equivalent of $2 million and the most common size standard for the non-manufacturing industries.
The size standards associated with the NAICS Codes are primarily used in connection with SBA's financial assistance programs and federal procurement programs. SBA and other federal agencies oversee small business programs that are not covered by the NAICS Codes or use NAICS size standards as an alternative to the program size standard. Therefore, SBA will also make inflation adjustments to those programs that have any monetary-Start Printed Page 3043based size standards, except for the SBIC program as discussed above.
504 Program 13 CFR 121.301(b) $6.0M Net Worth $7.0M
$2.0M Net Income $2.5M
Surety Bond Guarantee Assistance 13 CFR 121.301(d) $5.0M Average Annual Receipts $6.0M
Sales of Government Property (Except, Timber Sales Program, the Special Salvage Timber Sales Program, the sale of Government petroleum coal, and uranium.) 13 CFR 121.502 $2.0M Average Annual Receipts $6.0M
For concerns not primarily engaged in manufacturing (Manufacturing firms have an employee-based size standard)
Stockpile Purchases 13 CFR 121.512 $42.0M Average Annual Receipt $48.5M
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviewed this rule as a “significant regulatory action” under section 3(f) under Executive Order 12866.
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), this rule may have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Immediately below, SBA sets forth an initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) of this rule addressing Start Printed Page 3044the reasons and objectives of the rule; SBA's description and estimate of the number of small entities to which the rule will apply; the projected reporting, record keeping, and other compliance requirements of the rule; the relevant Federal rules which may duplicate, overlap or conflict with the rule; and alternatives considered by SBA.
Sectors 44-45 2,800 $17 billion.
Sectors 51, 52, 54, 55, 61, 62, 71, 72, 81, and Subsectors 531, 532, 561 4,000 $22 billion.
• Finance, Insurance and Real Estate
Sectors 52-53 600 $3 billion.
Sectors 22 & 48 450 $3 billion.
• Construction and Refuse
Sector 23 & Subsector 562 760 $10 billion.
Total 8,610 $55 billion.
This rule does not impose any new information collection requirements from SBA which require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. A new size standard does not impose any additional reporting, record keeping or compliance requirements on small entities. Increasing size standards expands access to SBA programs that assist small businesses, but does not impose a regulatory burden as they Start Printed Page 3045neither regulate nor control business behavior.
This rule overlaps other Federal rules that use SBA's size standards to define a small business. Under § 632(a)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act, unless specifically authorized by statute, Federal agencies must use SBA's size standards to define a small business. In 1995, SBA published in the Federal Register a list of statutory and regulatory size standards that identified the application of SBA's size standards as well as other size standards used by Federal agencies (60 FR 57988-57991, dated November 24, 1995). SBA is not aware of any Federal rule that would duplicate or conflict with establishing size standards.

a. Redesignate the current paragraph (c) as (d).
