AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the Small Business 
Administration's draft Strategic Plan. The Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993 requires that Federal agencies update their 
strategic plans every three years and, in doing so, solicit the views 
and suggestions of those entities potentially affected by or interested 
in the plan. Therefore, the Agency is interested in receiving comments 
on our draft Strategic Plan.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 31, 2010. If comments are 
received late, we will consider them to the extent practicable.

ADDRESSES: To access the draft strategic plan for the FY 2011 to FY 
2016 planning period, go to http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/budgetsplans/serv_budget_strategicplan.html. You

Financial Officer, 409 Third Street, SW., Suite 6000, Washington, DC 
20416.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Government Performance and Results Act 
requires that each Federal agency update their strategic plan every 
three years, (5 U.S.C. 306), and submit their plan to the Congress. 
This draft Strategic Plan describes our mission, strategic goals, 
objectives, and means and strategies to achieve those goals. To access 
the draft strategic plan, go to http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/budgetsplans/serv_budget_strategicplan.html.

Public Participation Policy

    It is the policy of the Agency to ensure that public participation 
is an integral and effective part of SBA activities and decisions are 
made with the benefit of significant public perspectives. The Agency 
recognizes the many benefits to be derived from public participation 
for both stakeholders and SBA. Public participation provides a means 
for SBA to gather a diverse collection of opinions, perspectives, and 
values from the broadest spectrum possible, enabling the Agency to make 
more informed decisions. Likewise, public participation benefits 
stakeholders by creating an opportunity to provide input on decisions 
that affect their communities and our nation.
    We anticipate publishing the final SBA Strategic Plan on September 
30, 2010, and making it available on the Internet at that time.

    Authority:  5 U.S.C. 306.

John Kushman,
Chief Financial Officer (Acting).
