The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on October 2, 2013 (78 FR 61113). The rule, which described how supply procurements should be classified, mistakenly attempted to amend a regulation by removing words that did not exist in the particular paragraph. This document corrects that rule document by removing the instruction. SUMMARY: Effective September 30, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2013, SBA published a rule in the Federal Register at 78 FR 38811 that amended § 121.404(b) by removing ‘‘and the date of certification by SBA’’ and adding in its place ‘‘and, where applicable, the date the SBA program office requests a formal size determination in connection with a concern that otherwise appears eligible for program certification.’’ The final rule published on October 2, 2013, (78 FR 61113) intended to amend 13 CFR 121.404(b) by removing ‘‘date of certification by SBA’’ and adding in its place ‘‘date the Director of the Division of Program Certification and Eligibility or the Associate Administrator for Business Development requests a formal size determination in connection with a concern that is otherwise eligible for program certification.’’ However, the amendment could not be implemented because at that point the words to be removed did not exist in § 121.404(b). Therefore, SBA is removing that instruction from the final rule published on October 2, 2013. In the FR Rule Doc. No. 2016–22064 in the issue of October 2, 2013, beginning on page 61113, make the following correction: ■ On page 61131, first column, remove amendatory instruction number 4c. 18:28 Sep 29, 2016 List of Subjects in 13 CFR Part 125 [FR Doc. 2016–23480 Filed 9–29–16; 8:45 am] Acquisition Process: Task and Delivery Order Contracts, Bundling, Consolidation VerDate Sep<11>2014 is consistent with 13 CFR 12.5(f) which provides that the limitations on subcontracting do not apply to small business set aside contracts with a value greater than $3,500 but not $150,000, and 13 CFR 121.406(d) which provides that the performance requirements (limitations on subcontracting) do not apply to small business set-aside acquisitions with an estimated value between $3,500 and $150,000.

AGENCY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on May 31, 2016 (81 FR 34243). The rule described the limitations on subcontracting that apply to set aside contracts. The rule provides that the limitations on subcontracting apply to small business set asides above $150,000 and to 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned (SDVO) or Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set asides. The $150,000 threshold appears twice in 13 CFR 125.6(a), and thus could be misinterpreted as applying the threshold to 8(a), HUBZone, SDVO or WOSB set-asides.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

13 CFR Part 125

RIN 3245-AG58


Small Business Government Contracting and National Defense 
Authorization Act of 2013 Amendments

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting a 
final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on May 31, 2016 (81 FR 
34243). The rule described the limitations on subcontracting that apply 
to set aside contracts. The rule provides that the limitations on 
subcontracting apply to small business set asides above $150,000 and to 
8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned (SDVO) or Women-Owned 
Small Business (WOSB) set asides. The $150,000 threshold appears twice 
in 13 CFR 125.6(a), and thus could be misinterpreted as applying the 
threshold to 8(a), HUBZone, SDVO or WOSB set-asides. This action 
deletes the second $150,000 threshold that appears in 13 CFR 125.6(a).

DATES: Effective September 30, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael McLaughlin, Office of Policy, 
Planning & Liaison, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20416; 202-205-5353;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 
is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on May 
31, 2016 (81 FR 34243). The rule described the limitations on 
subcontracting that apply to set aside contracts. The rule provides 
that the limitations on subcontracting apply to small business set 
asides above $150,000 and to 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled and 
Veteran-Owned (SDVO) or Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set asides. 
The $150,000 threshold appears twice in 13 CFR 125.6(a), and thus could 
be misinterpreted as applying the threshold to 8(a), HUBZone, SDVO or 
WOSB set-asides. This action deletes the second $150,000 threshold that 
appears in 13 CFR 125.6(a). This action is consistent with 13 CFR 
12.5(f) which provides that the limitations on subcontracting do not 
apply to small business set aside contracts with a value greater than 
$3,500 but not $150,000, and 13 CFR 121.406(d) which provides that the 
performance requirements (limitations on subcontracting) do not apply 
to small business set-aside acquisitions with an estimated value 
between $3,500 and $150,000.

List of Subjects in 13 CFR Part 125

    Government contracts, Government procurement, Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, Small businesses, Technical assistance, 
Veterans.

    Accordingly, 13 CFR part 125 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:
