SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 10(a)(2) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C., 

Appendix 2), SBA announces the 

meeting of the Interagency Task Force 

on Veterans Small Business 

Development. The Task Force is 

established pursuant to Executive Order 

13540 and focused on coordinating the 

efforts of Federal agencies to improve 

capital, business development 

opportunities and pre-established 

Federal contracting goals for small 

business concerns owned and 

controlled by veterans (VOB’s) and 

service-disabled veterans (SDVOSB’S). 

Moreover, the Task Force shall 

coordinate administrative and 

regulatory activities and develop 

proposals relating to ‘‘six focus areas’’: 

(1) Access to capital (loans, surety 

bonding and franchising); (2) Ensure 

achievement of pre-established 

contracting goals, including mentor 

prote ́ge ́ and matching with contracting 

opportunities; (3) Increase the integrity 

of certifications of status as a small 

business; (4) Reducing paperwork and 

administrative burdens in accessing 

business development and 

entrepreneurship opportunities; (5) 

Increasing and improving training and 

counseling services; and (6) Making 

other improvements to support veteran’s 

business development by the Federal 

government. On November 1, 2011, the 

Interagency Task Force on Veterans 

Small Business Development submitted 

its first report to the President, which 

included 18 recommendations that were 

applicable to the ‘‘six focus areas’’ 

identified above. The purpose of the 

meeting is to discuss progress on the 

recommendations and next steps 

identified by the Interagency Task Force 

(IATF) in the Fiscal Year (FY) 14 

Annual Report. The agenda will include 

updates from each of the members, 

public comment, and planning for the 

FY 14 of the IATF’s Annual Report. In 

addition, the Task Force will allow time 

to obtain public comment from 

individuals and representatives of 

organizations regarding the areas of 

focus.
