Regulation (FAR) requirements:
• FAR 52.219–28, Post-Award Small
Business Program Rerepresentation.
This clause requires contractors that
originally represented themselves as a
small business for a contract award to
rerepresent their size and
socioeconomic status at the prime
contract level by updating their
representations in the Representations
and Certifications section of the System
for Award Management (SAM).
Contractors are also required to notify
the contracting officer by email, or
otherwise in writing, that the
rerepresentations have been made, and
provide the date on which they were
made.
Small business contractors are
required to rerepresent their size and
socioeconomic status upon occurrence
of any of the following:
(a) For the NAICS code(s) in the
contract—
(1) Within 30 days after execution of
a novation agreement or within 30 days
after modification of the contract to
include FAR clause 52.219–28 if the
novation agreement was executed prior
to inclusion of this clause in the
contract.
(2) Within 30 days after a merger or
acquisition of the contractor that does
not require novation or within 30 days
after modification of the contract to
include the clause at 52.219–28 if the
merger or acquisition occurred prior to
inclusion of this clause in the contract;
(3) For long-term contracts—
(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the
end of the fifth year of the contract; and
(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the
date specified in the contract for
exercising any option thereafter.
(b) When contracting officers
explicitly require it for an order issued
under a multiple-award contract.
The collected information is used by
the Small Business Administration,
Congress, Federal agencies and the
general public for various reasons, such
as determining if agencies are meeting
statutory goals, set-aside
determinations, and market research.

SUMMARY:
D. Public Comment
VerDate Sep<11>2014
could result in small businesses missing
contracting opportunities because their
small business size standard changes
while waiting for the Government to
evaluate proposals and make awards.
The respondent stated that a gap of
multiple years is not uncommon for the
Government’s process. The respondent
indicated that the proposed changes are
not needed.

express views regarding the proposed
rule for FAR Case 2020–016,
Rerepresentation of Size and
Socioeconomic Status, published on
September 29, 2023 (88 FR 67189). The
respondent supports the current FAR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: SYSIL builds evidence
on how to decrease the risk of
homelessness among youth and young
adults with experience in the child
welfare system by continuing work with
an organization who conducted
foundational work as part of the Youth
At-Risk of Homelessness project (OMB
Control Number: 0970–0445). SYSIL
will provide important information to
the field by designing and conducting a
federally led evaluation of a
comprehensive service model for youth
at risk of homelessness.
The SYSIL evaluation includes an
implementation study and an impact
study, which will use a rigorous quasiexperimental design that includes a
comparison group. This information
collection request includes the baseline
and follow-up survey instruments for
the impact study (a single instrument
administered three times), and
discussion guides for interviews and
focus groups for the implementation
study. The data collected from the
baseline and follow-up surveys will be
used to describe the characteristics of
the study sample of youth, develop
models for estimating program impacts,
and determine program effectiveness by
comparing outcomes between youth in
the treatment (youth receiving the
Pathways program) and control groups.
The study also collects updated contact
information from youth at two points in
time to assist in reaching youth to
complete follow-up surveys. Data from
the interviews and focus groups will
provide a detailed understanding of
program implementation. We are also
conducting brief check-ins with
program directors using a subset of
questions from the interview guides to
collect information on services provided
at two additional points in time. The

study also uses administrative data from
the child welfare system, homelessness
management information system, and
program providers. Administrative data
is being used in its existing format and
does not impose any new information
collection or recordkeeping
requirements on respondents.
The purpose of the requested
extension is to continue the ongoing
data collection, which will provide
information on focal youth outcomes
and program implementation. We are
also requesting revisions to the
interview and focus group protocols, as
well as an additional round of
interviews and focus groups. The
purpose of the proposed revision is to
better understand their experiences in
delivering and receiving services and
gather information on topics not
previously covered in the protocols.
Respondents: The baseline and
follow-up surveys and contact update
requests are administered to youth in
the treatment group (youth receiving the
Pathways program) and youth in the
control group who consent to
participate in the study. Interviews are
conducted with program leadership and
staff. Focus groups are conducted with
a subset of youth who are participating
in the study. Check-ins are conducted
with program directors.
