## Abstract

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) is amending its regulations to address the time at which size is determined for the purposes of long-term federal contracts including Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts and multi- agency contracts (MACs). SBA is also amending its 8(a) Business Development regulations to address when a business concern may receive orders as an 8(a) program participant under GSA's MAS Program and other multiple award contracts. This final action is necessary to ensure that small business size status is accurately represented and reported over the life of these long-term Federal contracts.
