This document replaces and 

supersedes ‘‘Line of Succession 

Designation No. 1–A, Revision 32.’’ 

Line of Succession Designation No. 1– 

A, Revision 33: 

Effective immediately, the 

Administrator’s Line of Succession 

Designation is as follows: 

(a) In the event of my inability to 

perform the functions and duties of my 

position, or my absence from the office, 

the Deputy Administrator will assume 

all functions and duties of the 

Administrator. In the event the Deputy 

Administrator and I are both unable to 

perform the functions and duties of the 

position or are absent from our offices, 

I designate the officials in listed order 

below, if they are eligible to act as 

Administrator under the provisions of 

the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 

1998 (5 U.S.C. 3345–3349d), to serve as 

Acting Administrator with full authority 

to perform all acts which the 

Administrator is authorized to perform: 

(1) Chief of Staff; 

(2) General Counsel; 

(3) Chief Operating Officer; 

(4) Associate Administrator, Office of 

Disaster Assistance; and 

(5) Regional Administrator for Region 

8. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of 

SBA Standard Operating Procedure 00 

01 2, ‘‘absence from the office,’’ as used 

in reference to myself in paragraph (a) 

above, means the following: 

(1) I am not present in the office and 

cannot be reasonably contacted by 

phone or other electronic means, and 

there is an immediate business necessity 

for the exercise of my authority; or 

(2) I am not present in the office and, 

upon being contacted by phone or other 

electronic means, I determine that I 

cannot exercise my authority effectively 

without being physically present in the 

office. 

(c) An individual serving in an acting 

capacity in any of the positions listed in 

subparagraphs (a)(1) through (5), unless 

designated as such by the 

Administrator, is not also included in 

this Line of Succession. Instead, the 

next non-acting incumbent in the Line 

of Succession shall serve as Acting 

Administrator. 

(d) This designation shall remain in 

full force and effect until revoked or 

superseded in writing by the 

Administrator, or by the Deputy 

Administrator when serving as Acting 

Administrator. 

(e) Serving as Acting Administrator 

has no effect on the officials listed in 

subparagraphs (a)(1) through (5), above, 

with respect to their full-time position’s 

authorities, duties and responsibilities 

(except that such official cannot both 

recommend and approve an action).
