AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Investment 
and Innovation (OII) will hold a round table in Washington, DC with 
limited partners who currently participate in the Small Business 
Investment Company (SBIC) program. The purpose of the meeting is for 
SBA to seek input from SBIC limited partners on regulatory reform and 
best practices in SBIC selection and monitoring.

DATES: The round table will take place on August 7, 2018 from 1:00 p.m. 
to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. There will be no telephone call-in 
for the meeting.

and Innovation, (202) 205-7731 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA's OII, which administers the SBIC 
program, is working to implement the regulatory reform objectives 
presented in the President's Executive Orders 13771 and 13777. SBA is 
reviewing SBIC program regulations and policies in an effort to improve 
clarity and make the SBIC program more effective and efficient. To seek 
input and feedback regarding regulatory reform and to identify best 
practices, SBA will hold a round table with investors who are currently 
limited partners in SBICs.
    One of the primary purposes of the round table will be for SBA to 
gain a better understanding of any concerns SBIC limited partners have 
with regards to SBIC program regulations and policies and to share best 
practices in SBIC selection and monitoring. SBA will primarily be in 
listening mode, but may ask general questions to help SBA understand 
SBIC limited partner concerns about specific SBIC regulations and 
policies. While SBA expects an engaging discussion, please be aware 
that SBA cannot discuss any specific regulatory or policy changes under 
consideration, or any general or specific issues related to one or more 
SBICs.
    To receive input and feedback from a broad number of SBIC limited 
partners, SBA will restrict participation to one employed 
representative from each organization. Attendance will be limited to 
the first 20 representatives that register for the round table. SBIC 
limited partners interested in participating may register at SBA OII 
Regulatory Reform Round Table for SBIC Limited Partners.
    If you have suggested regulatory topics you would like the SBA to 
consider for discussion at the round table, please email your 
suggestions to [email protected].
    Regardless of your round table participation, feedback about the 
SBIC program may be submitted by emailing SBA at 
[email protected]. If you wish to provide comments regarding 
SBA's regulatory reform effort, then please add ``Regulatory Reform'' 
to the subject line of the email.

    Dated: June 27, 2018.
A. Joseph Shepard,
Associate Administrator, Office of Investment and Innovation.
