    Small Business Size Regulations; Minority Small Business and

    AGENCY: Small Business Administration.
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) extends the comment 
    period on its proposed rule that would amend both eligibility 
    requirements for and contractual assistance provisions within the SBA's 
    section 8(a) program, and that was published in the Federal Register on 
    August 30, 1994, 59 FR 44652.
    
    DATES: The date for the receipt of comments pertaining to the proposed 
    rule published at 59 FR 44652 has been extended from September 29, 
    1994. Comments must now be submitted on or before November 28, 1994.
    
    ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Herbert L. Mitchell, 
    Associate Administrator, Office of Minority Enterprise Development, 
    U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW, Washington, DC 
    20416.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Office of Minority Enterprise Development, (202) 205-6410.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 30, 1994, SBA published a proposed 
    rule to, among other things, (1) make several clarifications of the 
    eligibility requirements for admission to SBA's 8(a) program, the need 
    for which has been identified by SBA through the practical experience 
    gained in operating the program and in defending the agency's actions 
    in 8(a) eligibility appeals brought before SBA's Office of Hearings and 
    Appeals, (2) authorize participation by business concerns owned by 
    Community Development Corporations in the 8(a) program in accord with 
    42 U.S.C. 9815, and (3) make several changes to the 8(a) contractual 
    assistance requirements, including eliminating 8(a) support levels and 
    the concepts of local buy and national buy 8(a) requirements.
        The rule required that comments concerning its proposed provisions 
    be submitted to SBA for review on or before November 28, 1994. SBA has 
    received a number of comments stating that the 30-day comment period 
    was insufficient to properly address all of the proposal, and 
    requesting that the comment period be extended. In light of the fact 
    that the end of the comment period coincided with the end of the 
    Federal fiscal year, a very busy time for any business concerns 
    contracting with the Federal Government, SBA concurs that an extension 
    of the comment period for this rule is appropriate. Thus, SBA is 
    extending the comment period for an additional 30 days from the date 
    this notice is published in the Federal Register.
    
        Dated: October 19, 1994.
    Philip Lader,
    Administrator.
