What the agency says
This direct final rule contains amendments to the regulations governing the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Program. The SBA is revising its regulations to implement a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA 2024), which eliminates self-certification for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses that are awarded Federal Government contracts or subcontracts that count towards agency or subcontracting goals This direct final rule amends SBA's regulations to carry out the changes made by NDAA 2024.
