SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
13 CFR Parts 102 and 137
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act of 1974
AGENCY: Small Business Administration.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In response to President Clinton's regulatory directive, the
Small
[[Page 2672]]
Business Administration (SBA) has completed a page-by-page, line-by-
line review of all its regulations. As a result, SBA is clarifying and
streamlining its regulations. This final rule reorganizes Part 102,
which governs SBA's administration of the Freedom of Information and
Privacy Acts, in order to make it clearer and more succinct. It also
eliminates Part 137, governing Classified Information, folding those
sections which apply to SBA into the revised Part 102. It also allows
submitters of business information to identify, at the time of
submission, material they consider confidential; establishes a fee
appeal procedure; eliminates the Program Official from Privacy Act
responsibilities; and makes minor changes in Freedom of Information and
Privacy Act fees.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on February 28, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy C. Treanor, Attorney Advisor,
Office of General Counsel, at (202) 205-6885.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part 102 of Chapter I, title 13 of the Code
of Federal Regulations sets forth the policies and procedures by which
SBA administers the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of
1974. Part 137 of that Chapter contains SBA regulations governing
classified information under Executive Order 12356. On November 24,
1995 SBA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (60 FR
57970) to reorganize Part 102 and to eliminate Part 137, incorporating
those portions of the latter Part which apply to SBA into Part 102. SBA
did not receive any comments in response to the proposed rule. Thus,
SBA is finalizing the rule with only minor technical changes:
(1) Within Secs. 102.6(d) and 102.7, the effective date by which
procedures change for submitters of business information has been
changed from January 1, 1996 to March 1, 1996, so as to occur after the
effective date of the new regulations.
(2) Due to the repeal of Executive Order 12356 and to the
provisions of new Executive Order 12968, which require only agencies
that generate classified materials to regulate their distribution, SBA
has eliminated all direct reference to classified materials in its
regulations.
(3) Section 102.13, governing subpoenas, has been changed to
clarify that the section applies only to lawsuits or other proceedings
to which SBA is not a party, and that the Associate General Counsel for
Litigation may not delegate to local counsel authorization for the
production of documents or testimony of employees from the Inspector
General's Office.
(4) The language of various sections has been streamlined and the
numbering of some paragraphs has been reordered to make the overall
regulations clearer.

Compliance With Executive Orders 12612, 12778, and 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), and the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 35)
SBA certifies that this rule does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of
Executive Order 12866 or the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq. It makes SBA's FOIA and PA procedures clearer and will
institute governmental efficiencies at no cost to small businesses. It
will not, however, have an annual economic effect of $100 million or
more, result in a major increase in costs or prices, or have a
significant adverse effect on competition or the United States economy.
For purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Ch. 35, SBA
certifies that this rule contains no new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements.
For purposes of Executive Order 12612, SBA certifies that this rule
has no federalism implications warranting the preparation of a
federalism assessment.
For purposes of Executive Order 12778, SBA certifies that this rule
is drafted, to the extent practicable, in accordance with the standards
set forth in Section 2 of that Order.

Subpart A--Disclosure of Information
Sec. 102.1 What does this subpart do?
This subpart describes the procedures by which the SBA makes
documents available under the Freedom of Information Act (``FOIA'') (5
U.S.C. 552).
Sec. 102.2 How can I get records from SBA?
(a) You can go to the SBA office at which the records are kept, and
photocopy any final SBA decision, policy statement, or standard
operating procedure.
(b) For copies of all other records, you must send a letter request
to the SBA office at which the records are kept. The letter must
describe specific records you want. If you don't know which SBA office
keeps the records, you may send your letter to the nearest SBA District
Office. You may also send your letter to the Chief, FOIA & PA Office,
409 Third Street S.W., Suite 5900, Washington D.C. 20416. The office
receiving your letter will forward it to the correct office.
Sec. 102.3 How long will it take for SBA to respond to my request for
records?
(a) If you have met the fee requirements of Sec. 102.8, SBA will
respond within 10 working days after the correct office receives your
request, unless you have requested an especially large number of
records, the records are not located in the office handling the
request, or SBA needs to consult with another government office.
(b) If you make your request on behalf of another person, SBA will
respond within 10 working days after you present a document signed by
that person authorizing you to request information on his or her
behalf. If you make your request on behalf of another person without
including such signed authorization, SBA will inform you of the
authorization needed.
(c) If you send your request to the wrong office, that office will
send it to the correct office within 10 working days and will send you
an acknowledgment letter.
(d) If SBA determines that one of the circumstances described in
paragraph (a) of this section apply, it will respond within 20 working
days of the date upon which the correct office receives your request,
and will notify you that the extra time is required.
Sec. 102.4 How will SBA respond to my request?
Within the time limit described in Sec. 102.3, SBA will either:
(a) Give you all the records you requested;
(b) Give you some or none of the records you requested, explain why
SBA has decided not to comply fully with your request, citing specific
exemptions where applicable, and explain how to appeal that decision;
or
(c) Tell you that you will not receive a response until you have
either paid your fee or committed to the amount of fee you will pay, as
applicable.
Sec. 102.5 If SBA grants my request, which records will be supplied?
SBA will give you copies of all records or portions of records
requested which are in the processing office as of the close of the day
upon which that office received your request.
Sec. 102.6 How will SBA respond to requests for business information?
(a) Business information is a trade secret, or commercial or
financial information, contained in records provided to SBA by any
person and which may be protected from disclosure under Exemption Four
of FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
(b) The submitter is the business entity to which the business
information pertains and which submitted the information to SBA, either
directly or through an intermediary, such as a bank.
(c) SBA will disclose upon request business information that has
previously been released to the general public.
(d) If you request business information submitted to SBA prior to
March 1, 1996 which has not previously been released to the general
public, SBA will notify the submitter of your request upon SBA's
receipt of it if SBA intends to release that information. SBA will give
the submitter 5 working days to identify information the disclosure of
which would likely cause substantial competitive harm and why that harm
would occur unless SBA intends to deny your request in full.
(e) If you request business information submitted to SBA after
March 1, 1996 which has not previously been released to the general
public, SBA will notify the submitter if it intends to release business
information which either the submitter has previously claimed or which
SBA believes to be confidential and the disclosure of which would cause
substantial competitive harm. The submitter will have 5 working days to
object to the disclosure, explaining why the harm would occur.
(f) Whenever a submitter objects to disclosure, SBA will consider
the submitter's objections, but will not be bound by it. If SBA
discloses information despite a submitter's objection, SBA will give
the submitter the maximum notice possible before disclosure without
violating the time constraints imposed by FOIA. In this notice, SBA
will tell the submitter when and what it intends to disclose.
(g) SBA will promptly notify the submitter of any suit filed
against SBA to compel disclosure.
Sec. 102.7 What are the procedures for submitters of business
information to SBA after March 1, 1996?
Submitters may identify business information at the time of
submission which would likely cause them substantial competitive harm
if disclosed. The identification shall lapse after 10 years, unless
renewed in writing.
Sec. 102.8 What fees will SBA charge?
(a) Basic fees. (1) For manual record search. SBA will charge $18
per hour.
(2) For computer record searches. SBA will charge the actual costs.
(3) For review and disclosure determinations. SBA will charge $18
per hour.
(4) Duplication. SBA will charge 10 cents per page for photocopy
duplication, and the actual cost of reproduction for other methods.
(5) Certifying records. SBA will charge actual costs.
(6) For requested special types of delivery other than first-class
mail. SBA may charge the actual cost.
(b) If you are a representative of an educational institution, a
non-commercial scientific institution, or a member of the news media.
SBA will charge you only for the cost of duplication after the first
100 pages.
(1) What is an educational institution? A state-certified
preschool, elementary or secondary school, an accredited college or
university, an accredited institution of professional education, or any
accredited or state-certified institute of vocational education which
operates a program or programs of scholarly research.
(2) What is a non-commercial scientific institution? An
organization which is operated solely for the purpose
[[Page 2675]]
of conducting scientific research, the results of which are not
intended to promote any particular product or industry.
(3) What is a representative of an educational or non-commercial
scientific institution? A requester seeking records on behalf of that
institution who is authorized by that institution to do so, and who is
seeking those records for scholarly or scientific reasons, as long as
there is no commercial purpose to the request for records.
(4) What is a representative of the news media? An individual who
is actively gathering news for an entity that is organized and operated
to disseminate information to the general public. To be considered
``news media'', this organization may provide information by
subscription and may target its dissemination to a narrow section of
the general public as long as any member of the general public may
purchase information from it. If you are not employed by the news
media, but have a reasonable expectation that you will sell the
information you obtain to the news media, SBA may conclude that you are
a representative of the news media. SBA will not consider you to be a
representative of the news media if your request has a commercial
purpose, beyond the commercial purpose of selling information to the
general public.
(c) Member of the general public. If you are a member of the
general public, SBA will not charge you for the first two hours of
search time, the first hundred pages of photocopy duplication, or for
review and disclosure determinations. The general public is anyone who
is not a representative of an educational institution, a representative
of the news media, or a commercial requester.
(d) Commercial requester. If you are a commercial requester you
must pay all the basic fees set forth in paragraph (a) of this section.
A commercial requester is anyone seeking information for commercial,
trade, or profit interests of the requester or someone he or she is
trying to help.
(e) How does SBA determine what category of requester I am? The SBA
office processing your request will determine the appropriate category.
If you are not a commercial requester, you must show us what category
of requester you are.
(f) Tell us how much you are willing to pay. To get the quickest
possible response, you must tell SBA how much money you are willing to
pay in fees when you make your request for records.
(g) If you don't tell us how much you are willing to pay and SBA
estimates that the fee will exceed $25.00, SBA will estimate the fee
and will not process your request until you tell SBA that you are
willing to pay the estimated amount, or until you narrow the request so
that the fee is less than $25.
(h) SBA will waive fees less than $25.
(i) If the fee is more than $250, or if you have a history of
failing to pay FOIA fees in a timely manner, SBA will ask you to remit
the estimated amount and any past due charges before sending you the
records.
(j) Who determines the fee? The SBA office which processes your
request.
(k) When do you pay the fee? SBA will bill you when it responds to
your request. You must pay within thirty-one calendar days.
(l) Failure to pay fees. (1) If you do not pay by the thirty-first
day after the billing date, SBA will charge interest at the maximum
rate allowed under Title 31 of the United States Code, section 3717.
(2) If you do not pay the amount due within ninety calendar days of
the due date, SBA may notify consumer credit reporting agencies of your
delinquency.
(3) If you owe fees for previous FOIA responses, SBA will not
respond to further requests unless you satisfy the amount due.
(m) Unsuccessful searches. If SBA's search for records is
unsuccessful, it will still bill you for the search.
(n) Multiple requests. If you make multiple requests at or about
the same time, SBA will aggregate your requests for records. In no case
will SBA give you more than the first two hours of search time, or more
than the first 100 pages of duplication without charge.
(o) Reduction of fees in the public interest. If SBA determines
that disclosure of the information you seek is in the public interest
because it is likely to contribute significantly to public
understanding of the operations or activities of the government, and
that you are not seeking the information in your own commercial
interests, SBA may waive or reduce the fee.
Sec. 102.9 How may I appeal a denial of my request for information or
a fee determination?
(a) You must write to the Chief, FOIA & PA Office at 409 Third
Street S.W., Suite 5900, Washington, D.C. 20416.

date of its receipt. SBA may have an additional 10 working days if
unusual circumstances require.
(f) (1) If you are appealing a decision to deny your request for
records, SBA will either:
(i) Give you the records you requested; or
(ii) Decline to give you the records you requested, tell you why
SBA has concluded that the records were exempt from disclosure under
FOIA, and tell you how to obtain judicial review of SBA's decision.
(2) If you are appealing a fee determination, SBA will either
charge the fee you request or charge another fee and explain why SBA
has concluded that the fee it has decided to charge is appropriate.
Sec. 102.10 How can I get the Public Index of SBA materials?
(a) The Public Index is a document which provides identifying

(b) SBA has administratively determined, as permitted by FOIA, that
periodic publication and distribution is unnecessary and impracticable.
(c) The Public Index is set forth in Appendix 3 of SBA Standard
Operating Procedure 40 03. You can obtain the Public Index from any SBA
office.
Sec. 102.11 What happens if I ask SBA for a record that another
Federal agency generated?
Such a request is a request directed to the wrong office, as that
term is used in
[[Page 2676]]
Sec. 102.3(c). SBA will forward your request to the generating agency.
Sec. 102.12 What happens if I subpoena records or testimony of
employees in connection with a civil lawsuit, criminal proceeding or
administrative proceeding to which SBA is not a party?
(a) The person to whom the subpoena is directed must consult with
SBA counsel in the relevant SBA office, who will seek approval for
compliance from the Associate General Counsel for Litigation. Except
where the subpoena requires the testimony of an employee of the
Inspector General's office, or records within the possession of the
Inspector General, the Associate General Counsel may delegate the
authorization for appropriate production of documents or testimony to
local SBA counsel.
(b) If SBA counsel approves compliance with the subpoena, SBA will
comply.
(c) If SBA counsel disapproves compliance with the subpoena, SBA
will not comply, and will base such noncompliance on an appropriate
legal basis such as privilege or a statute.
(d) SBA counsel must provide a copy of any subpoena relating to a
criminal matter to SBA's Inspector General prior to its return date.

Sec. 102.56 Will SBA release my name or address?
No, unless compelled to by law.
Sec. 102.57 Do I have to give SBA my SSN?
(a) No. You need not give SBA your SSN, even if SBA asks for it.

authority it seeks your SSN, and for what purpose.

it your SSN.
Sec. 102.58 When will SBA show personnel records to a representative?

you direct SBA to do so in writing.

you under penalty of perjury, is normally sufficient evidence unless
SBA has information to the contrary.

guardianship order is sufficient evidence of your guardianship. Other
evidence may be considered.

the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 which are not
mandated in that Act, SBA will publish those procedures in Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) 40 04. You can get a copy of SOP 40 04 at any
SBA Office.

contractor of any federal agency, state or local government, or agency
of any state or local government to disclose records for purposes of a
computer matching program, SBA will make a copy of that agreement

agreement by writing to the Privacy Act Officer.
