In response to Executive Order 14219, SBA has completed a page-by-page, line-by-line review of all of its existing regulations to determine which might be revised or eliminated. This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking would amend SBA’s regulations governing nondiscrimination in its financial assistance programs. This action is necessary to streamline requirements and eliminate provisions that are redundant, ambiguous, or exceed statutory authority.
