received late, we will consider them to the extent practicable.

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.

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 that 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
28, 2007, and making it available on the Internet at that time.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 306.
Dated: August 21, 2007.
Jennifer E. Main,
Chief Financial Officer.
