Dear Ms. Fernandez:

We are writing to submit comments on the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) above-referenced advance notice of proposed rulemaking (“ANPR”), issued December 18, 2015, 80 Fed. Reg. 78,984. Our firm represents small business federal contractors, including women-owned and economically-disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (“WOSBs/EDWOSBs”). We submit these comments to assist SBA in drafting a viable proposed rule that is fair and workable for WOSBs and EDWOSBs.
