SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft Small Business Administration FY 
2022-2026 Strategic Plan Framework and ELA are 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) and Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 
(the ``Evidence Act'') (Pub. L. 115-435) to ensure that the public and 
stakeholders are provided an opportunity to comment. This Strategic 
Plan provides a framework that will support greater equity, customer 
service and technology modernization of 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 global 
competitiveness. The ELA sets a learning agenda to identify top 
priority evidence-building activities, such as program evaluation, 
research, and policy analysis.
    The SBA proposes three strategic goals for the next five years: (1) 
Ensure Equitable and Customer-Centric Design and Delivery of Programs 
to Support Small Businesses and Innovative Start-ups; (2) Build 
Resilient Businesses and a Sustainable Economy; and (3) Implement 
Strong Stewardship of Resources for Greater Impact.
    The draft SBA FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan Framework and ELA are 
available through the SBA's website at https://www.sba.gov/sp.

    Dated: October 21, 2021.

Acting Associate Administrator for Performance, Planning, and the Chief 
Financial Officer.
