SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


SBA Guaranteed Business Loans to Cooperatives

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of change of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) published a notice in 
the Federal Register on February 28, 2019, announcing that the Office 
of Financial Assistance would be holding two public forums with members 
of the general public on SBA-guaranteed business loans to cooperatives. 
The purpose of the public forums is to provide an opportunity for 
members of the public to present their views to SBA on practical 
alternatives to satisfying SBA's personal guarantee requirement for 
small businesses with cooperative ownership. Today's notice announces 
the cancellation of the public forum that was going to be held in 
Kansas City, Missouri, on March 19, 2019. A teleconference, to allow 
more attendees to participate, will be conducted in its place.

DATES: The public forum will take place via teleconference on March 29, 
2019, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Please 
note the registration instructions under the Supplementary Information 
section of this notice.

Assistance, [email protected] or (202) 205-9168.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Sec. 862 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-
232), SBA is holding two public forums to discuss practical 
alternatives to satisfy SBA's personal guarantee requirement on SBA-
guaranteed loans to cooperatives. The first public forum was held in 
Washington, DC on March 12, 2019. The second public forum will be held 
via teleconference on March 29, 2019, at the time specified above.
    This is an opportunity for members of the public to present their
