{"abstract":"This proposed rule would make several changes to the Small Business Administration's (SBA or Agency) Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract (WOSB) Program regulations, including adding definitions that are not currently included in the regulations and conforming the regulations to current statutes that have not yet been integrated. The rule would also adopt similar language to that used in SBA's other government contracting program regulations regarding the length of time that a firm that has been declined three times must wait before reapplying to the WOSB Program, and limits on outside employment. The Agency requests comment on all aspects of this proposed rule.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION","name":"Small Business Administration","id":468,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/small-business-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/468","parent_id":null,"slug":"small-business-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2024/05/16/2024-10518.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"124","title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"127","title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"128","title":13}],"citation":"89 FR 42816","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2024-07-15","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before July 15, 2024.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket ID SBA-2024-0004"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"SBA","documents":[{"comment_count":2,"comment_start_date":"2024-05-16","updated_at":"2024-09-03T17:00:27.998-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/SBA-2024-0004-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"SBA-2024-0004-0001","comment_end_date":"2024-07-16","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"SBA-2024-0004","title":"Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program Updates and Clarifications"}],"document_number":"2024-10518","effective_on":null,"end_page":42820,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2024/05/16/2024-10518.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/05/16/2024-10518/women-owned-small-business-federal-contract-program-updates-and-clarifications","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2024-10518?publication_date=2024-05-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2024-05-16/2024-10518/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":2666,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 10:15:08 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-16/pdf/2024-10518.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-10518.pdf?1715777116","publication_date":"2024-05-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2024/05/16/2024-10518.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"3245-AI04":{"issue":"202404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/3245-AI04/wosb-program-updates-and-clarifications","title":"WOSB Program Updates and Clarifications","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202404&RIN=3245-AI04&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["3245-AI04"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/3245-AI04/wosb-program-updates-and-clarifications","title":"WOSB Program Updates and Clarifications"},"comments_count":2,"agency_id":"SBA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=SBA-2024-0004","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"SBA-2024-0004","document_id":"SBA-2024-0004-0001","regulation_id_number":"3245-AI04","title":"Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program Updates and Clarifications","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2024-07-16T04:01:52Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":42816,"subtype":null,"title":"Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program Updates and Clarifications","toc_doc":"Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program Updates and Clarifications","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Government contracts","Government procurement","Government property","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Small businesses","Technical assistance","Veterans"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":89}
