SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Audit and Financial Management Advisory Board
The Audit and Financial Management Advisory Committee provide
independent advice and recommendations to the Small Business
Administration on matters concerning financial management, including
financial reporting, internal controls, audit processes, and compliance
with applicable laws and government-wide standards. The SBA has
determined that continuation of this Committee is in the public
interest, as it provides structured, recurring advice from external
financial management and audit experts that cannot be effectively
obtained through internal staff resources or ad hoc consultations. The
Committee's advice strengthens fiscal stewardship, audit readiness, and
statutory compliance. Membership will be fairly balanced in terms of
viewpoints and expertise within the financial management community and
will be appointed in accordance with applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.
Council on Underserved Communities
The Council on Underserved Communities provides advice and
recommendations to the Small Business Administration on programs,
policies, and services affecting small businesses in historically
underserved and underrepresented communities. The SBA has determined
that continuation of this Council is in the public interest, as it
supports Administration priorities to expand equitable access to
economic opportunity and promotes inclusive economic growth. The
Council provides structured, collective, and recurring advice informed
by stakeholder experience that cannot be effectively performed through
internal staff work or informal consultations. Membership will be
fairly balanced in terms of viewpoints and expertise relevant to
underserved business communities and appointed in accordance with
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Small Business Lending Advisory Council
The Small Business Lending Advisory Council provides advice,
insights, and recommendations to the Small Business Administration on
matters related to access to capital for small businesses, including
lending policies, program effectiveness, and market conditions. The SBA
has determined that continuation of this Council is in the public
interest, as access to capital is central to small business growth and
economic development. The Council provides structured, recurring advice
from a broad cross-section of the small business lending community that
cannot be replicated through internal analysis or ad hoc outreach.

Membership will be fairly balanced in terms of viewpoints and expertise
across the lending ecosystem and appointed in accordance with
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
