Certifications to include a section whereby the contracting officer can insert the appropriate North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) code and small business size standard for the procurement. Its exclusion in the original drafting of the subject provision was an oversight. When the FAR provision is included in a solicitation, the provision regarding Small Business Program Representations, where this information is normally placed, is not included. Without this change, there is no standard way in which the NAICS code and small business size standard can be communicated to the vendor. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and
Review,'' dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
