On Wednesday, September 17, and Tuesday, September 18, 2025, SBA will host virtual public forums on size standards. SBA will consider public testimony on proposed changes contained in the recently published proposed rule titled Small Business Size Standards: Monetary-Based Industry Size Standards (90 FR 41168, August 22, 2025).
Pre-registration is required to attend either session.
When registering for the event, you may indicate whether you would like to testify at the forum. Testimony presented at these forums will become part of the administrative record for SBA's consideration when developing the final rule.
SBA will also accept written testimony received by October 21, 2025. Comments may be submitted on this proposed rule, at www.regulations.gov, using the following RIN number: RIN 3245-AI12.
Comments may also be submitted by mail to:
Khem R. Sharma
Director, Size Standards Division
409 3rd Street SW, Mail Code 6530
Washington, D.C., 20416.
SBA representatives presiding over the sessions will attempt to accommodate everyone interested in testifying, though based on the number of registrants, it may be necessary to impose time limits.
SBA respectfully requests that commenters only raise issues about the North American Classification System (NAICS) industries covered under the proposed rule, or those within the scope of the rule.
SBA will analyze the testimony, both oral and written, along with any written comments received, and respond to all comments in the final rule. However, during the public forum, SBA officials will not provide comment on the testimony of speakers.
For more information about the forums, see the notice published in the Federal Register.
