CFC Dismisses Protest of SBA Decision Not to Reopen Size Determination
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.02.11
In Outdoor Venture Corp. v. U.S., the Court of Federal Claims dismissed the protest of an awardee of a small business set-aside contract that had failed to file a timely appeal of an adverse size determination to SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals. The CFC held that the decision to reopen a size determination is within the SBA’s “sole discretion, and because there are no guidelines for SBA to follow, the [CFC] lacks jurisdiction to review SBA's decision."

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
