SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


Notice Seeking Exemption Under Section 312 of the Small Business 
Investment Act, Conflicts of Interest

    Notice is hereby given that Zero Stage Capital SBIC VII, L.P. 
(``ZSCVII''), 101 Main Street, 17th Floor, Cambridge, Massachusetts 
02142, a Federal Licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 
1958, as amended (``the Act''), in connection with the financing of a 
small concern, has sought an exemption under section 312 of the Act and 
section 107.730, Financings which Constitute Conflicts of Interest, of 
the Small Business Administration (``SBA'') rules and regulations (13 
CFR 107.730 (2002)). ZSCVII proposes to provide equity financing to 
First Service Networks, Inc. (``FSN''), 849 International Drive, 
Linthicum, Maryland 21090. The financing is contemplated for product 
development and working capital.
    The financing is brought within the purview of Section 
107.730(a)(1) of the Regulations because Zero Stage Capital VI, L.P., 
an Associate of ZSCVII, currently owns greater than 10 percent of FSN, 
and therefore FSN is considered an Associate of ZSCVII as defined in 
Section 107.50 of the Regulations.
    Notice is hereby given that any interested person may submit 
written comments on the transaction to the Associate Administrator for 
Investment, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20416.

    Dated: November 12, 2002.
Jeffrey D. Pierson,
Associate Administrator for Investment.
