SBA Modifies Time At Which Size Status Is Determined
Client Alert | 1 min read | 12.12.06
On November 15, 2006, the Small Business Administration ("SBA") amended its regulations (effective June 30, 2007) to require that (1) within 30 days of a merger, acquisition, or approved novation, a contractor must recertify its size status or inform the contracting agency that it is other than small; and (2) for contracts with durations of more than 5 years (including multiple award schedule contracts, MACs, and GWACs), the contractor must recertify its size status no more than 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract and no more than 120 days prior to the exercise of any option thereafter. A contractor's inability to recertify small business size status will not render the contractor ineligible to continue performance or require termination of the affected contract(s), but the contracting agency will no longer be able to count options or orders under such contracts towards its small business goals.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdrew a February 2024 Biden administration proposed rule, “Definition of Hazardous Waste Applicable to Corrective Action for Releases From Solid Waste Management Units,” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).[1] The withdrawn proposal would have revised RCRA corrective action regulations to expressly apply the broader statutory definition of “hazardous waste,” rather than only the narrower regulatory definition. Now, EPA is maintaining the status quo for corrective action under RCRA. However, EPA’s withdrawal of its proposed RCRA hazardous waste definition makes no mention of its corresponding proposal from 2024 to list nine per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as RCRA hazardous constituents.[2] This disjointed withdrawal, while providing some certainty for regulated entities, does not resolve how EPA plans to address PFAS under the RCRA program.
