SBA Proposes To Relax Employee-Based Size Standard

On July 27, 2007, the U.S. Small Business Administration issued a proposed rule to simplify and relax the way in which it determines whether an entity complies with an employee-based size standard. Instead of the current method, which uses a rolling average of the number of employees over the previous 12 months, the proposed method is based on the average number of employees over the last three completed calendar years and will not only require less frequent updates to an entity's size status but also allow a greater number of contractors that have experienced growth in the past several years to still qualify as small.

On September 5, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) withdrew its appeals of decisions issued by Texas and Florida federal district courts, which enjoined the FTC from enforcing a nationwide rule banning almost all noncompete employment agreements. Companies, however, should not read this decision to mean that their noncompete agreements will no longer be subjected to antitrust scrutiny by federal enforcers. In a statement joined by Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, Chairman Andrew Ferguson stressed that the FTC “will continue to enforce the antitrust laws aggressively against noncompete agreements” and warned that “firms in industries plagued by thickets of noncompete agreements will receive [in the coming days] warning letters from me, urging them to consider abandoning those agreements as the Commission prepares investigations and enforcement actions.”
