SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this notice is to inform 
carriers that the Small Business Administration (SBA) has raised the 
ceiling on the amount of annual receipts a company can make and still 
be classified as a small business. That dollar amount rose from $12.5 
million to $18.5 million. For the purpose of transportation service 
acquisition, a small business concern is one which is independently 
owned and operated, is not dominant in its field of operations, and 
together with its affiliates has annual receipts not exceeding $18.5 
million. Interested parties may refer to the SBA's regulations in 13 
Code of Federal Regulations, part 121 for additional details.
