NOTE: Subcontracting goals are subject to increase in individual solicitations in an effort to meet
overall Agency goals.
The federal government purchases millions of dollars in goods and services each year that range from paper
clips to complex space vehicles. It is the policy of the United States, as stated in the Small Business Act, that
all businesses have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in providing goods and services to
the government. To ensure that small businesses get their fair share, the SBA negotiates annual procurement
preference goals with each federal agency and reviews each agency's results. The SBA is responsible for
ensuring that the statutory government-wide goals are met in the aggregate.

SBA Adjusts Revenue-
Based Size Standards
For Inflation - Widens
Eligibility For Agency
Programs
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has
increased its revenue-based size standards for small
businesses by 15.8 percent to account for inflation since
1994.
Since the size standards are used to determine whether
a business is a small business for the purposes of eligi-
bility for SBA programs, the inflation adjustments will
make it possible for at least 8,600 companies to re-
gain their eligibility as small businesses.
The new standards were published in the Federal Reg-
ister on January 23,2002, as an interim final rule with
a 30-day comment period. They became effective on
February 22, 2002. For small businesses located in
September 11 presidentially declared disaster areas of
metropolitan New York City and Northern Virginia,
the new regulations will apply retroactively to Sep-
tember 11, 2001.
As a result, the SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance will
go back and review applications for disaster recovery
loans in those areas, to determine whether those that
were rejected because they did not qualify as small
businesses have become eligible for assistance.
"This adjustment of SBA's size standards will re-
store small business status to many firms that be-
came ineligible for SBA assistance strictly because
of inflation," says SBA Administrator Hector V.
Barreto. "I find it especially important that we are
able to apply retroactively these updated size stan-
dards to firms applying for Economic Injury Disas-
ter Loans (EIDLs) due to the September 11 attacks."
The SBA adjusts the revenue-based size standards us-
ing the chain-type price index used by the Department
of Commerce to measure inflation in the economy.
Revenue-based size standards for small businesses had
not been updated for inflation since 1994. Industry
sectors, whose size standards had been changed for other
criteria, that also included inflation since 1994 will be
adjusted accordingly to match the new percentage.
For additional information on the new size standards,
visit the SBA's Office of Size Standards web page at
www.sba.gov/size, and then click on "What's New?"
SBA Disaster Relief
Surpasses $300 Million
In New York City
The SBA has approved more than $300 million in
disaster loans to over 3,841 New York City residents
and businesses following the World Trade Center
attacks.
Due to recent legislative changes, businesses may now
qualify for loans of up to $10 million, and a two-year
deferment on principal and interest. The interest rate
on these loans is capped at 4 percent, with a maximum
term of 30 years. In addition, the deadline to apply
for SBA disaster loan assistance has been extended to
September 30, 2002.
SBA, together with the many organizations that help
it deliver its small business assistance programs -
including lenders, Small Business Development Centers
and Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) -
have teamed up to assist small business recovery in New
York.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) make up the
majority-80 percent-of the SBA disaster loans approved
for small businesses in New York City since September
11. These working capital loans are available to help
small companies that are unable to pay bills or meet
normal operating expenses, such as payroll or accounts
payable and are available for the two-year deferment
with no interest accrual during this period.
In addition to EIDLs, businesses of all sizes, non-profit
organizations, homeowners and renters located in the
declared disaster areas may be eligible for loans to fund
rebuilding efforts, and cover the costs of replacing lost
or disaster-damaged personal property. Recent
legislation authorizes SBA to make EIDLs to non-profit
organizations as well.
For help with the loan application process, visit a disaster
recovery center or call 800-659-2955. For more

President Signs
Brownfields Legislation
to Clean Environment and
Create Jobs
President Bush visited the Millennium Corporate Cen-
ter in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania to sign bipartisan
legislation that will encourage the cleanup and redevel-
opment of old industrial properties, cleaning up our
environment, creating new jobs and protecting small
businesses from frivolous lawsuits.
The President also announced that his FY 03 budget
will double the funds available through the EPA in FY
02 - from $98 million to $200 million - to help states
and communities around the country clean up and re-
vitalize brownfields sites. This is an example of bud-
geting resources for programs that get results.
The President's FY 03 budget also includes $25 mil-
lion in funding for urban redevelopment and
brownfields cleanup through the Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development. And, the President's bud-
get proposes to permanently extend the Brownfields
Tax Incentive, which encourages the redevelopment of
brownfields. According to government estimates, the
$300 million annual investment in the Brownfields Tax
Incentive will leverage approximately $3.4 billion in
private investment and return 8,000 brownfields to pro-
ductive use.
Background on Presidential Action
Brownfields are abandoned or under-utilized industrial
or commercial properties where redevelopment is hin-
dered by possible environmental contamination and po-
tential liability under Superfund for parties that pur-
chase or operate these sites. The EPA estimates that
between 500,000 and one million brownfields tarnish
the landscapes of communities across America, typi-
cally in urban areas. Spurring more effective and effi-
cient cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields will:
* Remove environmental hazards from communities;
* Relieve pressure to develop pristine open space and
farm land; and
* Revitalize communities by creating jobs and return-
ing productive property to local tax rolls.
Located 20 minutes from Philadelphia on the banks of
the Schuylkill River, the Millennium Corporate Cen-
ter is the 1,000th site redeveloped under Pennsylvania's

8(a) Construction Workshop
EPA sponsored an 8 (a) construction workshop with the EPA
facilities group on April 2,2002. The workshop was to
introduce the new 8 (a) firms to the facility managers for the
upcoming construction work. SBA also attended.
On June 6, 2002, EPA and the Minority Business
Opportunity Committee (MBOC) held a GSA conference
in Cincinnati to try to get more 8(a) firms and MBE firms
to apply for GSA schedules. The GSA official from
Washington, D.C. conducted the conference.
Region 8 Presents
FY 2001 Awards
Region 8 recognized Jo Taylor and Sandy Stavnes, from
the OPRA Underground Storage Tank Program, for
their work in the utilization of Native American owned
firms with the ability to conduct site assessments, de-
sign corrective action plans and conduct cleanup of
petroleum releases. Three Native American owned
firms, overseen by Sandra and Jo, have been awarded
contracts for Region 8 UST activities in Reservations
located in Region 8.
Because of the experience that Jo and Sandra have dem-
onstrated, with the utilization of Native American
owned firms, Headquarters OSWER asked for their
participation on the team to select a national contrac-
tor for the UST Program in Indian Country. Bristol
Environmental Engineering Services, Inc. is an Alas-
kan Native Corporation selected to conduct assessments
and remediation of the petroleum releases. This $15
million contract represents the second largest contract
awarded by EPA to a Native American owned firm.
For this work, Headquarters OSDBU again recognized
Sandy and Jo with honor awards.

Training
for EPA/Howard
University Outreach
The EPA/Howard University Outreach Center takes
pride in its reputation as a place vendors may seek rel-
evant information and training as they pursue busi-
ness opportunities with the EPA. Since 2000, the
Outreach Center has served many vendors whose sole
purpose was to offer their product or service in a man-
ner compatible with the procurement procedures of
EPA. The Outreach Center assists vendors to improve
their marketing performance, their company profile
and the infrastructure of their firm for a more effi-
cient competitive posture. The Outreach Center is a
contractual operation between Howard University and
EPA/OSDBU whose mutual objective is to enhance
the capability of firms to render support to the ac-
complishment of the EPA mission.
We provide training and assistance in:
"How To Analyze An EPA Solicitation
For Effective Response"
This session is a two-hour program providing specific
instruction on how to interpret an EPA procurement
solicitation. It provides a basis for the vendor to me-
thodically address each component of the solicitation
and respond by submitting a responsive and respon-
sible bid.
+ June 27th
* September 26th
"Instructions And Strategies On How To Do
Business With EPA"
There exists already many manuals and guides on how
to do business with EPA. What this one hour pro-
gram attempts to do is show the vendor the structural
makeup of EPA, its mission and how a small firm,
using "face time" concepts can develop a presence in
the competitive process. Access to the process is where
this program takes the vendor in plain non bureau-
cratic language.
+ September 11th
"Identifications Of Corollary Sources Of
Technical Assistance"
The wealth of support services to small businesses has
grown beyond comprehension for many firms. This
one hour program seeks to narrow the specific sup-
port services a firm may choose and determine which
of the services best suits its needs at any given mo-
ment in its business maturation.
+ July 11th
"Business Management and
Organization Techniques"
Choosing the appropriate business structure is not a
foreign or irrelevant issue in how you do business and
to whom you choose to market your service or prod-
uct. This session makes this an important consider-
ation in how you manage your business and how you
organize to take advantage of market opportunities.
* November 14th
"Best Procurement Practices for the
Small Disadvantaged Business"
Often heard: "How does a small guy get a chance to
shine?" This two hour program takes up a list of com-
plaints voiced by small vendors and translates them
into the context of the procurement environment.
Topics such as bonding, bundling, preaward practices,
post award briefings and the necessity of a well crafted
business plan are subjects identified as crucial interest
to the small business.
+ October 10
Tracking The Economy And Its Influence
On Your Business
No business exists in a vacuum. Forces outside of
your business niche may have a tremendous influence
on how you market, strategize and manage your busi-
ness resources. This two hour program engages a high
profile economist to explain the necessity of watch-
ing the market and how to watch the market.

Land Recycling Program. The Center is built on the
former site of the Schuylkill Iron Works, and, when
completed, it will be the centerpiece of a 40-acre, $ 115
million office, recreation and residential development.
More than 500 people already work at the new devel-
opment.
Some 40 states have developed voluntary programs that
are cleaning up hundreds of brownfields sites faster and
more effectively, and with less litigation, than under
the federal Superfund program. These programs set
high cleanup standards and provide liability protection
under state law for new owners and operators of
brownfields sites.
However, these state programs have been hindered by
the lack of liability protection in federal law. Under
Superfund, owners and operators of a contaminated
property can be held liable for the cost of cleanup, re-
gardless of whether they actually caused any of the con-
tamination. This potential liability creates a strong in-
centive for businesses to avoid redeveloping
brownfields.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors, in its February 2000
brownfields survey, Recycling America's Land, called for
a national commitment to recycle the thousands of
brownfields in America's cities. They estimated that
cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields could gen-
erate $2.4 billion in tax revenues.
The Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Brown
Luncheons
The Brown Bag Luncheons conducted by the EPA/
Howard University Outreach Center begins its third
year this spring. The luncheons have proven to be a
popular access venue for small businesses that seek to
do business with EPA. The opportunity to talk infor-
mally with various officials and seasoned entrepreneurs
is a recipe for business growth and stimulation.
The following is the remaining schedule for the Brown
Bag Luncheons for FY 2002.
June 19th
July 17th
September 18th
November 20th
(Sessions will not be held in August, October, and
December)
All sessions are held at the Ariel Rios Building North,
Room 6402. No registration is required. Just show
up and join in. Should you have questions, please call
202-564-4584.
All Brown Bag Luncheons are held between 12:00 noon
and 1:00 p.m. It is not unusual for the session to ex-
tend to 2:00 p.m.
Revitalization Act reforms the major hindrance to
brownfields cleanups — the federal Superfund law. The
bill provides liability protection for prospective pur-
chasers, contiguous property owners, and innocent land-
owners and authorizes increased funding for state and
local programs that assess and clean up brownfields.
The legislation also provides common sense relief from
Superfund liability for small business owners who sent
waste or trash to waste sites, protecting innocent small
businesses while ensuring that polluted sites continue
to be cleaned up by those most responsible for the
contamination.
President Bush called for Superfund reform during his
campaign, and worked to craft a bipartisan solution to
the problem of contaminated and abandoned
brownfields. Overcoming years of legislative gridlock
on this common sense issue, Congress approved the
bipartisan bill without opposition in December 2001.
