Extension of Sbir and Sttr Programs and Activities
Section 10 · Sec. 10 ·
What this chapter is about
This part moves a set of end dates from 2025 to 2031. Nine smaller programs and pilots get the same six more years. One rule about skipping ahead a stage now covers two more agencies and both award programs. A pilot at the special operations command is extended too. One old study rule is struck out.

What the document says
“by striking ``During fiscal years 2012 through 2025'' and inserting ``Until September 30, 2031''; (2) by striking ``, and the Department of Education'' and inserting ``the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education''; and (3) by inserting ``or STTR program'' after ``SBIR program'' each place that term appears.”
Subsection (a) makes three changes to section 9(cc) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(cc)). The opening words 'During fiscal years 2012 through 2025' become 'Until September 30, 2031'. The words naming the Department of Education are replaced by words naming the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education. And the words 'or STTR program' are inserted after 'SBIR program' at each place the term appears. This Act does not restate the sentence those words sit in, and section 9(cc) is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``During fiscal years 2012 through 2025'' and inserting ``Until September 30, 2031''; (2) by striking ``, and the Department of Education'' and inserting ``the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Education''; and (3) by inserting ``or STTR program'' after ``SBIR program'' each place that term appears.”
That sentence, in plain words
The end date moves to September 30, 2031. Two more agencies are named. And a second award program is added each time the first one is named.
What this is about
The two new agencies are the energy department and the space agency. This law does not say what the rule they join does. That part of the older law is not on this site.
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.

What the document says
“Section 9(gg)(7) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(gg)(7)) is amended by striking ``2025'' and inserting ``2031''. (c) Accelerated Awards.--Section 9(hh)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(hh)(2)(C)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
Four subsections make the same change. Subsection (b) moves the date in section 9(gg)(7) from 2025 to 2031, under the heading Commercialization Readiness Program for Civilian Agencies Pilot Program. Subsection (c) moves the date in section 9(hh)(2)(C), under the heading Accelerated Awards. Subsection (d) moves the date in section 9(jj)(7), under the heading Phase 0 Pilot Program. Subsection (e) moves the date in section 9(mm)(1), under the heading Administrative Assistance. This Act does not say what any of the four provide.
What the document actually says
“Section 9(gg)(7) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(gg)(7)) is amended by striking ``2025'' and inserting ``2031''. (c) Accelerated Awards.--Section 9(hh)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(hh)(2)(C)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Two dates in an older law move from 2025 to 2031.
What this is about
Two more parts of the law get the same change. All four run six years longer. The names come from the headings this law gives them.
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.

What the document says
“Section 9(qq)(3)(I) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(qq)(3)(I)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''. (g) Commercialization Assistance Pilot Programs.--Section 9(uu)(3) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(uu)(3)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
Five further subsections make the same change. Subsection (f) moves the date in section 9(qq)(3)(I), under the heading Increased Minimum Performance Standards. Subsection (g) moves the date in section 9(uu)(3), under the heading Commercialization Assistance Pilot Programs. Subsection (h) moves the date in section 9(vv)(3)(C), under the heading Due Diligence Program. Subsection (i) moves the date in section 9(yy)(2), under the heading STTR Participation of Military Research and Educational Institutions Pilot Program. Subsection (j) moves the date in section 9(zz)(3), under the heading Budget Calculation Pilot Program.
What the document actually says
“Section 9(qq)(3)(I) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(qq)(3)(I)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''. (g) Commercialization Assistance Pilot Programs.--Section 9(uu)(3) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638(uu)(3)) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Two more dates in the older law move to September 30, 2031.
What this is about
Three others get the same change. One of them is the check on firms that section 2 of this law builds up. Without this it would have ended in 2025.
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.

What the document says
“Section 851(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (10 U.S.C. 4901 note) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
Subsection (k) moves a date outside the Small Business Act. In section 851(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (10 U.S.C. 4901 note), September 30, 2025 becomes September 30, 2031. The heading this Act gives the subsection is Special Operations Command Pilot. That Act is not indexed here, so what section 851 provides is not recorded.
What the document actually says
“Section 851(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (10 U.S.C. 4901 note) is amended by striking ``September 30, 2025'' and inserting ``September 30, 2031''.”
That sentence, in plain words
A date in a defense law from 2020 moves. It goes from September 30, 2025 to the same day in 2031.
What this is about
This law calls it a special operations command pilot. It does not say what the pilot does. That older law is not on this site.
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.

What the document says
“The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) is amended by striking section 5142 (15 U.S.C. 638a).”
Subsection (l) strikes section 5142 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), carried at 15 U.S.C. 638a. The heading this Act gives the subsection is Government Accountability Office Mandate Sunset. What that section required is not recorded here, because the 2012 Act is not indexed on this site.
What the document actually says
“The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) is amended by striking section 5142 (15 U.S.C. 638a).”
That sentence, in plain words
One whole part of a defense law from 2012 is taken out. It is section 5142.
What this is about
The heading calls it a sunset. That means a duty is ending. This law does not say what the duty was.
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.
Each distinct thing the section does: the three changes to the phase flexibility subsection, the extension of nine programs and pilots to 2031, the extension of a Special Operations Command pilot, and the repeal of a section of the fiscal year 2012 defense authorization Act.
Nothing in the section is left out. Where several subsections make the same date change, they are recorded together and each is named in the summary.
The section works by changing dates inside section 9 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638) and two defense authorization Acts, none of which is indexed here. This Act does not restate the sentences the dates sit in, so what each of the extended programs does is not recorded. The heading of each subsection is the only name this Act gives them.
