The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is publishing for public comment updated minimum performance standards for commercialization for firms funded through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs.

The revised benchmark will supersede the benchmark announced at 78 FR 48537 and 78 FR 59410. This requirement is issued under the authority of Section 9 of the Small Business Act.
