## Abstract

This direct final rule amends the Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (AGAR) by replacing references to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes with references to North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. On July 26, 2000, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was amended to employ NAICS codes for small business size determinations and other purposes in lieu of SIC codes. Since the AGAR supplements the FAR, USDA is amending the AGAR to reflect the FAR's adoption of NAICS codes.
