Abstract
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or Agency) publishes this document to clarify the scope of a proposed rule published on August 23, 2024. The proposed rule is intended to clarify and improve policies implemented as part of a comprehensive revision to the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program regulations in 2019; to propose several changes to SBA's size and 8(a) Business Development (BD) regulations, and technical changes to the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) programs; and to move program-specific recertification requirements to a new section that would cover all size and status recertification requirements. The proposed rule does not address the exclusion from affiliation available to mentor- prot[eacute]g[eacute] joint ventures or the applicability of the HUBZone price evaluation preference to HUBZone joint ventures formed under the Mentor-Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Program. Those issues are outside the scope of the proposed rule.
