- Description
- The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has proposed to revise its small business size regulations to allow a small business that is owned and controlled by another business concern to be eligible for funding agreements under the SBA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The proposed rule does not change the size standard requiring that an eligible small business concern, with its affiliates, have no more than 500 employees. The rule proposes to modify the small business eligibility requirements so that the SBIR awardee must meet one of the two following additional criteria: It must either be a for-profit business concern that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens in, the United States (as the regulations currently require); or it must be a for-profit business concern that is 100% owned and controlled by another for-profit business concern that is itself at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens in, the United States. Comments must be received on or before July 7, 2003. Upon request, the SBA will make all public comments available. The rule is available at http://www.sba.gov/size/indexwhatsnew.html#sbir-pr and http://www.regulations.gov/
