SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the rule 

published on February 5, 2015 at 80 FR 

6618, SBA proposed to implement 

provisions of the Small Business Jobs 

Act of 2010 and the National Defense 

Authorization Act of 2013, which 

pertain to the establishment of a 

Government-wide mentor prote ́ge ́

program for all small business concerns. 

The rule would also make minor 

changes to the mentor-prote ́ge ́

provisions for the 8(a) Business 

Development program in order to make 

the mentor-prote ́ge ́ rules for each of the 

programs as consistent as possible. The 

rule would amend the current joint 

venture provisions to clarify the 

conditions for creating and operating 

joint venture partnerships, including the 

effect of such partnerships on any 

mentor-prote ́ge ́ relationships. Finally, 

the rule would make several additional 

changes to current size, 8(a) Office of 

Hearings and Appeals or HUBZone 

regulations, concerning among other 

things, ownership and control, changes 

in primary industry, standards of review 

and interested party status for some 

appeals.
