rule, SBA responded to specific inquiries from government officials and the public regarding the extension of the HUBZone map freeze.

U.S.C., Chapter 35.

HUBZone small business community to plan for the update of the maps on July 1, 2023, rather than January 1, 2022. If SBA receives any significant adverse comments, SBA will publish a notice in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule before the effective date. If SBA

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
612
The Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601, requires administrative agencies to consider the effect of their actions on small entities, small nonprofit enterprises, and small local governments. Pursuant to the RFA, when an agency issues a rulemaking, the agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis which describes the impact of the rule on small entities.
However, section 605 of the RFA allows an agency to certify a rule, in lieu of preparing an analysis, if the rulemaking is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Within the meaning of RFA, SBA certifies that this direct final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it will directly impact only certified HUBZone small business concerns with principal offices located in Redesignated Areas.

Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801
808

Justification for Direct Final Rule SBA is publishing this rule as a direct final rule because SBA views this as a non-controversial administrative action because it merely changes a date in SBAs regulations to reflect updated information about when the 2020
Census results will be incorporated into the Department of Housing and Urban Developments designation of qualified census tracts. This rule will be effective on the date shown in the DATES section unless SBA receives any significant adverse comments on or before the deadline for comments set forth in the DATES section. Significant adverse comments are comments that provide strong justifications why the rule should not be adopted or for changing the rule.
SBA does not expect to receive any significant adverse comments because section 1701i of the 2018 NDAA
requires SBA to maintain the HUBZone status of certain certified HUBZone small business concerns until the HUBZone maps can be updated to reflect the results of the 2020 census.
Implementation of this change will benefit the public by allowing the
