  1. 13 CFR Part 130
  2. RIN 3245-AE05

AGENCY:

U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION:

Final rule; correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA or the Agency) is correcting a final rule published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2023. The rule updated the regulations for the Small Business Development Centers Program (the SBDC Program or the Program).

DATES:

This correction is effective March 12, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Rachel Karton, Program Manager for the SBDC Program, at 202-205-6766 or .

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In a final rule published on November 7, 2023 (88 FR 76625), SBA incorporated the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR part 200 on receiving and using Federal awards; made various revisions to align the regulations with the text of the SBDC statute; and adopted the proposed rule with changes from the comments received in response to the publication of the NPRM. This correction to the final rule makes three clarifications. First, it clarifies the basis on which the Administrator may make an exception to the client privacy restriction of § 130.380. Second, it corrects the definition of “Overmatched amount” in § 130.110 to match the guidelines provided in § 130.450(g). Finally, it revises the last sentence in § 130.450(g)(3).
