Appendix 5: Small Business Data

This appendix presents the data used to estimate the number of facilities owned or operated by small entities (i.e., small businesses, small nonprofit organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions) and total sales receipts included in the cost estimation and cost impact analysis.

A few notes with respect to the methodology and sources used to collect data concerning small businesses and small governmental jurisdictions. First, the total number of small entities that would be impacted by the Final Rules is determined using the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) definition of a small entity. This definition, in turn, is generally based on either a threshold amount of total receipts or number of employees. The SBA's small business definition for each facility group is shown in the table below.

Second, for several facility types, SBA data on establishments and receipts was not at the same level of detail (i.e., NAICS level) as data found in the 2002 U.S. Economic Census. For these facilities, data from the Economic Census was allocated between small and "typical" (i.e., non-small) businesses based upon the ratio of small to typical establishments in the most similar category. The affected facility types are: shopping malls (88% of establishments assumed to be small entity facilities based on the proportion of small entities in NAICS 531120 – "Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except mini-warehouses)"); amusement parks (80% of establishments assumed to be small entity facilities based on the proportion of small entities in NAICS 71311 – "Amusement and Theme Parks"); and, recreational boating facilities and shooting facilities (96% of each establishment assumed to be small entity facility based on the proportion of small entities in NAICS 713990 – "All Other Amusement and Recreational Industries").

Third, sales for small businesses are derived from SBA's estimated receipts of small businesses. SBA states that its publicly-available receipts data includes total sales plus cost of goods sold, which is assumed to be twice the total sales as reported by the U.S. Economic Census.

The 2002 U.S. Census of Governments provides data on the expenditures of counties by population size. The percentage of the U.S. that lives in small governmental jurisdictions with a population of less than 50,000, which is found to be 16.3%, is applied to the total number of public entities to determine the number of facilities in these small jurisdictions. The total expenditures on these facilities are broken down by the size of the counties and are summed together for populations with less than 50,000 in the table below.

Number of facilities	All	Small Jurisdictions
Library	9,207	2,481
Public Schools	91,680	26,224
Hospitals	1,130	305
Parks and recreation	112,128	30,216
Office Buildings	74,637	20,113
State and local government housing	25,642	7,262
State and Local Judicial Facilities	35,500	10,010
State and Local Detention Facilities	35,500	10,010
State and Local Correctional Facilities	1,668	467

[1] In the absence of breakdown in expenditure data for education, capital outlay funds are allocated equally to elementary and secondary facilities (since elementary schools in an area are likely to be greater in number but smaller in size than secondary schools).
