H.R. 2345  would require the Small Business Administration (SBA)  to issue a final rule
implementing  the Small Business Runway   Extension Act  of 2018 (Public Law 115-324)  by
December   17, 2019.1 The bill also would require the SBA to implement a transition plan to
assist small businesses and federal agencies in complying with that law. Because the SBA is
already undertaking those activities, CBO estimates that those provisions would have no
budgetary effect.

H.R. 2345  also would require federal agencies to use five years of data, instead of three,
when  determining whether  a businesses can be classified as small based on the number of
employees,  asset size, or, in the case of oil refineries, its refining capacity. Finally, among
other provisions, the General Services Administration would need to update the federal
System  for Award Management to   reflect the new classification standards.

Implementing  those provisions of H.R. 2345 could affect the number of businesses eligible
for certain SBA assistance programs or loan programs and  thus raise or lower both the
number  of participants in those programs and the SBA's administrative costs. However,
CBO   has no basis for estimating the number of entities that either would newly qualify or



1. P.L. 115-324 requires federal agencies to examine five years of gross receipts, up from three years, when classifying
   a business as small. The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-240), enacted September 27, 2010, requires the
   SBA  to review the size standards every five years. CBO expects that the SBA will amend its regulations to update
   those standards in 2020, reflecting the new requirement in P.L. 115-324.
