This ensures that small business size standards reflect current economic conditions in those industries. The proposed revisions to the size standards in these sectors will enable more small businesses to retain their small business status, provide federal agencies a larger pool of small businesses to choose from for small business procurement opportunities, and help eligible small businesses benefit from SBA\u2019s loan programs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">An SBA-issued White Paper entitled, \u201cSBA\u2019S Size Standards Methodology,\u201d which explains how SBA establishes, reviews and modifies its receipts-based and employee-based small business size standards, can be viewed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=2JfW0MzEEo0DnuN96Z4whiJetzwD5JnODij3Go4c3JuiFbzI-bQMjLs3ZZye3xqZP3xdpmq3FfwnmNakEurhk1ExV8iZjQhxb9jbKSDtc57Tr7iXhxexL_9vEjPg35Lasv8D9bSusxfd1Ejb3Ud3DcRRta1rDOvtLjocfCJ1jV4=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>http:\/\/www.sba.gov\/size.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">For more information about SBA\u2019s revisions to its small business size standards, visit \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=VJTRrDeq83DE3c0wfViyfoa-0vOEMXV5a8TS-iKAB6_ePp9JaB1TA-1j2NUQ5WW24JqN_BMSiMy3_m1u6YzDkQSmwp6t0yb9QkjW2BrFhni1DhTZALUSHzmEV-47aaKAUJoXq9nvzRrRxeFN6hp-ognyhToQY83uTlbDNM8mjxnX5ctRQB_cAy8sMEgs9u7O1VRRDY8xlFEAfKemYP7wqix1UWaAUDaq5Tmc0KrWkOg=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>announcements about updating size standards<\/u><\/a>\u201d at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=2JfW0MzEEo0DnuN96Z4whiJetzwD5JnODij3Go4c3JsrJblzWR7PF_9CPj7E1ddIWTXB00lvkjVQRknROciBsLW_CJ5GxyGBFqoN9qWH28RInyAHbjfvtHE0brcxuNXgyauaEdUG5tZUiux_AThX64tzKc0m0AMiN69R7RTKQ9M=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>http:\/\/www.sba.gov\/size.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">###\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About the U.S. Small Business Administration<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Small Business Administration makes the American dream of business ownership a reality.
