SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)

on Veterans Business Affairs (ACVBA).
    Additional Information: Nominations of eligible applicants must 
complete the following documents:
    1. SBA Form 898 (08-08) https://www.sba.gov/document/sba-form-898-advisory-committee-membership-nominee-information-form.

    The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 
1999--Public Law 106-50--established the ACVBA to serve as an 
independent source of advice and policy recommendations on veteran 
owned small business opportunities. Through an annual report, the ACVBA 
reports to the SBA Administrator, SBA's Associate Administrator for 
Veterans Business Development, the Congress, the President, and other 
U.S. policy makers. The ACVBA is comprised of 15 members--eight members 
represent veteran owned small business and seven members represent 
veteran service or military organizations. Learn more about the ACVBA 
by reviewing the ACVBA charter at Advisory Committee on Veterans 
Business Affairs.
    On Aug. 13, 2014, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
published in the Federal Register revised guidance on individuals who 
are not eligible to serve on federal advisory committees. In accordance 
with OMB guidance, the President directed agencies and departments in 
the Executive Branch not to appoint or re-appoint federally registered 
lobbyists to advisory committees and other boards and commissions.

SBA Committee Management Officer.
