SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft Small Business Administration 
FY2014-2018 Strategic Plan is provided for public input as part of the 
strategic planning process under the Government Performance and Results 
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRA-MA) (Pub. L. 111-352) to ensure that 
Agency stakeholders are given an opportunity to comment on this plan.
    This Strategic Plan provides a framework that will strengthen, 
streamline, and simplify SBA's programs while leveraging partnerships 
across the government and private sector to maximize the tools small 
business owners and entrepreneurs need to strengthen our economy, drive 
American innovation, and increase our global competitiveness. The SBA 
will have three overarching goals for the next five years: (1) Grow 
businesses and create jobs; (2) Serve as the voice for small business; 
and, (3) Build an Agency that meets the needs of today's and tomorrow's 
small businesses. Each goal contains objectives which are directly tied 
to performance both at the individual level and Agency-wide.
    The FY2014-2018 Strategic Plan contains only slight modifications 
to the existing FY2011-2016 Strategic Plan. This draft document chiefly 
refines the language of existing strategic objectives and strategies 
while adding two new strategic objectives concerning exports and supply 
chains, respectively. The text of the draft Strategic Plan FY2014-2018 
is available through the SBA's Web site at http://www.sba.gov/about-sba/sba_performance/strategic_planning.

Jonathan I. Carver,
Associate Administrator for Performance Management & Chief Financial 
Officer.
