What the document says
“develop simplified and standardized procedures and model contracts for Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III SBIR awards and report to the Administrator on actions taken by the Federal agency in support of these objectives; and”
Subsection (b)(3) adds a new subparagraph (C) to section 9(r)(4) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(r)(4)). The duty is to develop simplified and standardized procedures and model contracts for Phase I, Phase II and Phase III SBIR awards, and to report to the Administrator on what the agency has done toward those aims. No date or interval is set for the report.
What the document actually says
“develop simplified and standardized procedures and model contracts for Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III SBIR awards and report to the Administrator on actions taken by the Federal agency in support of these objectives; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The agency must make its forms simpler and the same across cases. It must also write model contracts. Then it must tell the small business agency what it did.
What this is about
This covers all three stages of the program. A model contract is a form that can be filled in. The law sets no date for the report.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
