Supplementary Information
The Small Business Administration (SBA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on September 2, 1998 (63 FR 46640), implementing its Very Small Business (VSB) Set-Aside Pilot Program. The effective date of that rule was September 2, 1998. SBA has determined that it would be in the best interests of those small entities served by the VSB program and those agencies required to implement this program, to establish a compliance date for this rule of January 4, 1999. This will facilitate the promulgation of Government- wide procurement regulations in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and, will ensure uniform application and implementation of SBA's VSB program by all Federal agencies. These FAR regulations will be published in the form of an Interim Rule in the Federal Register on or before January 4, 1999. Should publication of procurement regulations be delayed in the FAR, the compliance date of this rule will remain as January 4, 1999 and SBA will supply guidance for the implementation of this rule, to those agencies affected, through its Procurement Center Representatives.
