               July 14, 1998

               The Honorable Christopher S. Bond
               Chairman
               The Honorable John F. Kerry
               Ranking Minority Member

               Subject: Small Business Administration: HUBZone Empowerment Contracting
                         Pro gram

               Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
               a major rule promulgated by the Small Business Administration (SBA), entitled
               HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program (RIN: 3245-AE02). We received the
               rule on June 30, 1998. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
               June 11, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 31896.

               The final rule implements the HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program
               created by the HUBZone Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-135, December 2, 1997). The rule
               sets forth the program requirements for qualification as a HUBZone small business
               concern (SBC), the federal contracting assistance available to qualified HUBZone
               SBCs, and other aspects of the program.

               Enclosed is our assessment of SBA's compliance with the procedural steps required
               by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our
               review indicates that the SBA complied with the applicable requirements.

               If you have any questions about this report, please contact James Vickers, Assistant
               General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO evaluation
