    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10732
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is making some technical changes to regulations that were published in October 2020. These regulations combined two programs, the 8(a) Business Development Mentor-Protégé Program and the All Small Mentor-Protégé Program, to reduce confusion and inefficiencies. The corrections address how joint ventures are defined, clarifying which parts of the regulations apply to specific rules like the "ostensible subcontractor rule." These changes took effect on February 23, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Small Business Administration made some small fixes to rules about two helper programs for small businesses that work together. These changes make it easier to know the rules, like who can be the boss and who can be the helper.

  • 2021-03007 — Ownership and Control of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns; Correction
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10732
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a correction to regulations concerning the ownership and control of Veteran-Owned (VO) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) Small Business Concerns. Originally published in the Federal Register in 2018, these regulations pertained to the verification of such businesses with the Department of Veterans Affairs. In response to changes in the law, a definition was mistakenly removed, so this document corrects that oversight by adding back the term "Interested Party." This correction ensures that the rules are clear and aligned with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

    Simple Explanation

    In 2018, the SBA forgot to include a rule about who can complain about certain veteran-owned businesses, so now they're fixing it to make sure everyone understands the rules the same way.
