SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

13 CFR Part 121

[Docket No. 04-11579]
RIN 3245-AE66


Small Business Size Regulations; Correction

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register of May 24, 2004 (69 FR 29411). The 
final rule amended the regulations that governed the Historically 
Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Program. The corrected provision 
concerns who may initiate a size protest or initiate a size 
determination.

DATES: Effective June 23, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael P. McHale, Associate 
Administrator for the HUBZone Program, (202) 205-8885 or by e-mail, at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule that is the subject of this 
correction amends the regulations that governed the Historically 
Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Program published on May 24, 2004 
(69 FR 29411). This document corrects the numbering of a section of the 
final regulation. Confusion was caused by another amendment to the 
relevant section by a final rule amending certain definitions and 
making procedural and technical amendments to several SBA programs 
published on May 21, 2004 (69 FR 29192). The rule revised is Sec.  
121.1001(b)(7-8). Who may initiate a size protest or request a formal 
size determination?
