SBA increases size standards for NAICS Sector 48 49, Transportation and Warehousing

The United States Small Business Administration (SBA) has increased the small business size standards for 22 industries in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 48 49, Transportation and Warehousing, and retained the current standards for the remaining 37 industries in that Sector. As part of its ongoing comprehensive review of all size standards, SBA evaluated all receipts based standards for industries in NAICS Sector 48 49 to determine whether they should be retained or revised. SBA did not review the employee based standards for industries in NAICS Sector 48 49, but will do so at a later date with other employee based size standards. You may read/download SBA's final rule at Regulations.gov ( http://www.regulations.gov/ ) (RIN 3245-AG08). You may also review the originally proposed rule together with all of the comments that the public had submitted by going to the same http://www.regulations.gov/ . The proposed rule and the comments are included in the same docket. The revised size standards will be effective March 26, 2012.
