<body>
<p>The Small Business Administration (SBA) is proposing to amend its regulations governing the HUBZone Program to eliminate several provisions that are redundant, outdated, or inconsistent with the governing statute. This action is necessary to streamline the program's rules and reduce confusion for participating small businesses. This rule would reduce regulatory burdens and provide clarity for firms seeking to participate in the program.</p>
