Description

The Small Business Administration is increasing size standards for 19 Health Care industries and retaining the existing $5 million size standard for the remaining 11 Health Care industries. The new size standards are effective December 18, 2000. The North American Industry Classification System classifies Health Care industries under Subsector 621, Ambulatory Health Care Services; Subsector 622, Hospitals; and Subsector 623, Nursing and Residential Care Facilities. These revisions are made to more appropriately define the size of businesses in these industries that SBA believes should be eligible for Federal small business assistance programs. The Federal Register published the final rule on November 17, 2000 (page 70637) and a correction to the rule on November 24, 2000 (page 70637).
