The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) announces that it is holding tribal consultation meetings in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Anchorage, AK, as well as a Listening Session in Honolulu, Hawaii, concerning forthcoming proposed revisions to the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program regulations. The proposed rule would amend the 8(a) Business Development (BD) and size regulations to clarify certain policies. Additionally, SBA requests comments and input on how best to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14112, which, among other things, calls on agencies to increase the accessibility, equity, flexibility, and utility of Federal funding and support programs for Tribal Nations. SBA is also seeking comments on prospective policy changes addressing joint venture participation in SBA's programs. Testimony presented at these tribal consultations will become part of the administrative record for SBA's consideration when the Agency deliberates on approaches to changes in the HUBZone and 8(a) BD program regulations.
