SBA ends policy of voluntary public comment periods
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Small Business Administration has issued a final rule that rescinds its previous policy of holding public comment periods for rules that the law does not require.
Why it matters: This is a procedural change that affects how the SBA writes rules. It means fewer opportunities for the public to provide feedback on SBA regulations unless those rules fall into a category that legally mandates a comment period. It is a shift in administrative process rather than a change in specific benefits or programs.
Who it affects
- Small businesses and other entities that typically submit comments on SBA rulemaking
The Small Business Administration published this final rule in the Federal Register; readers should check the original document for specific implementation details.
