[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 150 (Thursday, August 4, 2016)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 51312-51314] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-18251] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 13 CFR Part 126 RIN 3245-AG81 HUBZone and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 Amendments AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration. ACTION: Direct final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This direct final rule contains several amendments to the regulations governing the HUBZone Program. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is making changes to its regulations to implement section 866 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (2016 NDAA). Section 866 of the 2016 NDAA made the following changes to the HUBZone program: authorized Native Hawaiian Organizations to own HUBZone small business concerns; expanded the definition of ``base closure area'' under the HUBZone program; and authorized the inclusion of ``qualified disaster areas'' under the HUBZone program. This direct final rule would implement these changes in SBA's regulations. DATES: This rule is effective on October 3, 2016 without further action, unless significant adverse comment is received by September 6, 2016. If significant adverse comment is received, SBA will publish a timely withdrawal of the rule in the Federal Register. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 3245-AG81 by any of the following methods:Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. Mail or Hand Delivery/Courier: Mariana Pardo, Director, HUBZone Program, 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC 20416. SBA will post all comments on http://www.Regulations.gov. If you wish to submit confidential business information (CBI) as defined in the User Notice at http://www.Regulations.gov, please submit the information to Mariana Pardo, Director, HUBZone Program, 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC 20416 and highlight the information that you consider to be CBI and explain why you believe this information should be held confidential. SBA will review the information and make a final determination of whether the information will be published or not. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mariana Pardo, Director, HUBZone Program, 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC 20416, 202-205-2985, [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This direct final rule implements several conforming amendments to SBA regulations from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, Public Law 114-92, 129 Stat. 726, November 25, 2015 (2016 NDAA). The 2016 NDAA became effective on November 25, 2015. Section 866 of the 2016 NDAA made the following changes to the HUBZone program: authorized Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs) to own HUBZone small business concerns; expanded the definition of ``base closure area'' under the HUBZone program; and authorized the inclusion of ``qualified disaster areas'' under the HUBZone program. SBA seeks to amend its HUBZone regulations to mirror the changes the 2016 NDAA made to the Small Business Act, and to avoid public confusion and possible misinterpretations of SBA's HUBZone program. Since these are conforming amendments, with no extraneous interpretation or other expanded materials, SBA expects no significant adverse comments. Based on that fact, SBA has decided to proceed with a direct final rule giving the public 30 days to comment. If SBA receives a significant adverse comment during the comment period, SBA will withdraw the rule, and proceed with a new proposed rule. The statute makes the following changes: General Summary--Expands the HUBZone program to assist small businesses in disasters areas and base closure areas and provides equal treatment under the HUBZone program for small businesses owned by NHOs. ``Major Disaster'' Areas--Treats major disaster areas as HUBZones for a period of 5 years. Applies to census tracts and nonmetropolitan counties (NMC) located in ``major disaster'' areas, if such census tract or NMC lost its HUBZone eligibility within the past 5 years or will lose its HUBZone eligibility within 2 years after the major disaster. ``Catastrophic Incident'' Areas--Treats areas where catastrophic incidents occurred as HUBZones for a period of 10 years. Applies to census tracts and NMCs located in areas where catastrophic incidents occurred, if such census tract or NMC lost its HUBZone eligibility within the past 5 years or will lose its HUBZone eligibility within 2 years after the catastrophic incident. Base Closures Areas (BRAC)--Extends HUBZone eligibility for BRACs to 8 years (up from 5) and expands HUBZone eligibility to census tracts and NMCs that (1) contain BRACs, (2) intersect with BRACs, (3) are contiguous to BRACs, or (4) are contiguous to any census tract or NMC described in (1) through (3). Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO)--Allows small businesses owned by NHOs to qualify as HUBZone companies. In order to implement the changes made by section 866 of the 2016 NDAA, SBA is amending Sec. Sec. 126.103 and 126.200 of its regulations. SBA is amending Sec. 126.103 by revising the definitions of the terms ``Base closure area'', ``HUBZone'', ``HUBZone small business concern (HUBZone SBC)'', and ``Qualified base closure area'', and by adding new definitions for the terms ``Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO)'' and ``Qualified disaster area''. This rules adopts the definitions of these terms provided in amended sections 3(p)(1), 3(p)(3), 3(p)(4)(D), and new section 3(p)(4)(E), of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632(p)(1), 632(p)(3), 632(p)(4)(D), 632(p)(4)(E). SBA is amending Sec. 126.200 by revising paragraph (b)(1) to implement the statutory authority for HUBZone small business concerns to be wholly or partly owned by NHOs. This rule adopts the language provided in new section 3(p)(3)(D) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 632(p)(3)(D). Compliance With Executive Orders 12866, 12988, and 13132, the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 35) and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) Executive Order 12866 The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that this direct final rule does not constitute a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. This rule is also not a major rule under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 800. Executive Order 12988 This action meets applicable standards set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden. The action does not have retroactive or preemptive effect. [[Page 51313]] Executive Order 13132 For the purposes of Executive Order 13132, SBA has determined that this direct final rule will not have substantial, direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, for the purpose of Executive Order 13132, Federalism, SBA has determined that this direct final rule has no federalism implications warranting preparation of a federalism assessment. Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., Ch. 35 SBA has determined that this direct final rule does not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35. Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612 The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601, requires administrative agencies to consider the effect of their actions on small entities, small non-profit enterprises, and small local governments. Pursuant to the RFA, when an agency issues a rulemaking, the agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis which describes the impact of the rule on small entities. However, section 605 of the RFA allows an agency to certify a rule, in lieu of preparing an analysis, if the rulemaking is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Within the meaning of RFA, SBA certifies that this direct rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
