applicability and legal effect, most of which
are keyed to and codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations, which is published under
50 titles pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 1510.
The Code of Federal Regulations is sold by
the Superintendent of Documents. Prices of

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
13 CFR Part 121
RIN 3245–AF66
Small Business Size Standards;
Adoption of Size Standards by 2007
North American Industry Classification
System for Size Standards
AGENCY:
Small Business Administration.
Direct final rule; correcting
amendment.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is correcting the
direct final rule it published in the
Federal Register on August 29, 2007,
that amended its Small Business Size
Regulations by incorporating the Office
of Management and Budget’s (OMB)
2007 modifications of the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) into its table of small
business size standards. The direct final
rule published on August 29, 2007
established an incorrect small business
size standard for NAICS 517919, All
Other Telecommunications. The correct
small business size standard is $23.0
million in average annual receipts. Also,
the descriptive titles for 19 NAICS codes
are also being amended by this action.
SBA is changing the industry
descriptions in its table of size
standards so they will match the
descriptions published by OMB in
NAICS 2007.
DATES: Effective Date: March 11, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl
Jordan, Program Analyst, Division of
Size Standards, at (202) 205–6618 or
sizestandards@sba.gov.
SBA
published a direct final rule in the
August 29, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR
49639) to amend its Small Business Size
Regulations by incorporating the OMB
2007 modifications of the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) into its table of small
business size standards.
In the direct final rule, SBA included
Table 1 which provided rules for
establishing size standards upon
incorporating NAICS 2007 into its table
of size standards. Rule #3 in Table 1
stated the following:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
TABLE 1
If the NAICS 2007 industry is composed of
The size standard for the NAICS industry will be
3. More than one NAICS 2002 industry; parts of more than one NAICS
2002 industry; or one or more NAICS 2002 industry and part(s) of
one or more NAICS 2002 industry,
and
they do not all have the same size standard.
The same size standard as for the NAICS 2002 industry or NAICS
2002 industry part(s) that most closely matches the economic activity
described by the NAICS 2007 industry.
Applying Rule #3 from Table 1, SBA
had indicated on pages 49642 and
49643 of the direct final rule that the
small business size standard for NAICS
517919, All Other Telecommunications,
would be $23.0 million in average
annual receipts. However, SBA
incorrectly stated in item 2(n) on page
49644 that the small business size
standard is $23.5 million in average
annual receipts.
Because SBA properly applied Rule
#3 from Table 1 of the direct final rule,
the correct size standard is $23.0
million, and this action corrects 13 CFR
121.201 to reflect the correct size
standard.
In addition, SBA is correcting the
Industry Descriptions for 19 NAICS
industries in its table of size standards
to match the industry descriptions in
NAICS 2007. Table 2, below, is a list of
the NAICS codes with the titles as
published in the August 29, 2007
Federal Register, and as corrected. The
following changes to the industry
descriptions do not affect any small
business size standards; the small
business size standards for these NAICS
codes remain unchanged.

Small Business Size Standards; Adoption of Size Standards by 2007
North American Industry Classification System for Size Standards
AGENCY: Small Business Administration.
ACTION: Direct final rule; correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting the
direct final rule it published in the Federal Register on August 29,
2007, that amended its Small Business Size Regulations by incorporating
the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) 2007 modifications of the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) into its table of
small business size standards. The direct final rule published on
August 29, 2007 established an incorrect small business size standard
for NAICS 517919, All Other Telecommunications. The correct small
business size standard is $23.0 million in average annual receipts.
Also, the descriptive titles for 19 NAICS codes are also being amended
by this action. SBA is changing the industry descriptions in its table
of size standards so they will match the descriptions published by OMB
in NAICS 2007.
DATES: Effective Date: March 11, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Jordan, Program Analyst, Division
of Size Standards, at (202) 205-6618 or sizestandards@sba.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA published a direct final rule in the
August 29, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 49639) to amend its Small
Business Size Regulations by incorporating the OMB 2007 modifications
of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) into its
table of small business size standards.
In the direct final rule, SBA included Table 1 which provided rules
for establishing size standards upon incorporating NAICS 2007 into its
table of size standards. Rule 3 in Table 1 stated the
following:
Table 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the NAICS 2007 industry is The size standard for the NAICS
composed of industry will be
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. More than one NAICS 2002 The same size standard as for the
industry; parts of more than one NAICS 2002 industry or NAICS 2002
NAICS 2002 industry; or one or industry part(s) that most closely
more NAICS 2002 industry and matches the economic activity
part(s) of one or more NAICS 2002 described by the NAICS 2007
industry, industry.
and
they do not all have the same size
standard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applying Rule 3 from Table 1, SBA had indicated on pages
49642 and 49643 of the direct final rule that the small business size
standard for NAICS 517919, All Other Telecommunications, would be $23.0
million in average annual receipts. However, SBA incorrectly stated in
item 2(n) on page 49644 that the small business size standard is $23.5
million in average annual receipts.
Because SBA properly applied Rule 3 from Table 1 of the
direct final rule, the correct size standard is $23.0 million, and this
action corrects 13 CFR 121.201 to reflect the correct size standard.
In addition, SBA is correcting the Industry Descriptions for 19
NAICS industries in its table of size standards to match the industry
descriptions in NAICS 2007. Table 2, below, is a list of the NAICS
codes with the titles as published in the August 29, 2007 Federal
Register, and as corrected. The following changes to the industry
descriptions do not affect any small business size standards; the small
business size standards for these NAICS codes remain unchanged.
