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.''
