Sec. 126.304  What must a concern submit to SBA?

    (a) To be certified by SBA as a qualified HUBZone SBC, a concern 
must represent to SBA that under the definitions set forth in 
Sec. 126.103:
    (1) It is a small business concern that is both owned only by United 
States citizens and controlled only by United States citizens;
    (2) Its principal office is located in a HUBZone;
    (3) Not less than 35 percent of its employees reside in a HUBZone;
    (4) It will use good faith efforts to ensure that a minimum 
percentage of 35 percent of its employees continue to reside in a 
HUBZone so long as SBA certifies it as qualified and during the 
performance of any contract awarded to it on the basis of its status as 
a qualified HUBZone SBC; and
    (5) It will ensure that, where it enters into subcontracts to aid in 
performance of any prime contracts awarded to it because of its status

certain contract costs as set forth in Sec. 126.700.
    (b) If the concern is applying for HUBZone status based on a 
location within the external boundaries of an Indian reservation, the 
concern must submit with its application for certification official 
documentation from the appropriate Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Land 
Titles and Records Office with jurisdiction over the concern's area, 
confirming that it is located within the external boundaries of an 
Indian reservation. BIA lists the Land Titles and Records Offices and 
their jurisdiction in 25 CFR 150.4 and 150.5. In cases where BIA is 
unable to verify whether the business is located within the external 
boundaries of an Indian reservation, applicants should contact the AA/
HUB and SBA will assist them.
    (c) In addition to these representations, the concern must submit 
the forms, attachments, and any additional information required by SBA.
