ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) is correcting an error 
in the preamble concerning its Small Business Size Regulations; 
Handicapped Workshop Participation in Small Business Set-aside 
Contracts, which appeared in the Federal Register on March 24, 1995 (60 
FR 15477).

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on April 14, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary M. Jackson, Assistant 
Administrator for Size Standards, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the second column of the Small Business 
Size Regulations; Handicapped Workshop Participation in Small Business 
Set-aside Contracts, published in the Federal Register on March 24, 
1995 (60 FR 15477), the beginning of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION was 
inadvertently omitted and should be inserted after the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT paragraph as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 15(a) of the Small Business Act (the 
Act), 15 U.S.C. 644(a), provides Federal agencies the authority to 
reserve Federal contracts exclusively for small business competition. 
Pursuant to section 3(a) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 632(a), and SBA's size 
regulations found at part 121 of title 13 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), a concern eligible as a small business for these 
set-aside contracts must be a for-profit concern, independently-owned 
and operated, not dominant in its field of operation, and meet the 
applicable numerical size standard as prescribed under 13 CFR Section 
121.601. The Small Business Administration Reauthorization and 
Amendments Act of 1994 amended Section 15(c) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 
644(c), by expanding the eligibility of entities which may participate 
in small business set-aside contracts to include public or private 
organizations for the handicapped during fiscal year 1995. See Pub. L. 
103-403, section 305. However, this statutory revision limits the 
extent of participation by public or private handicapped organizations 
in small business set-aside awards to an aggregate amount not to exceed 
$40,000,000. The Act further provides that Federal agencies making 
awards to such organizations pursuant to provisions of this Act may use 
multi-year contracts, if appropriate.

    Dated: April 10, 1995.
Philip Lader,
Administrator.
