Summary
The Small Business Administration is proposing a new rule to make sure it consults with Native American tribes before making decisions about manufacturing and trade programs. This means tribes will have a voice in how the government helps small businesses grow, especially those looking to manufacture goods in America and sell them globally.
Key Points
- 1The SBA will now consult with Native American tribes before creating or changing policies related to manufacturing, trade, and small business programs
- 2This rule focuses on helping small businesses that want to manufacture products in the U.S., bring manufacturing back from overseas (onshoring), and export goods to other countries
- 3Native American tribes and tribal businesses will have input on how government support programs are designed and delivered to their communities
- 4The rule ensures tribes are involved early in decision-making, not just informed after decisions are already made
- 5This is a proposed rule, meaning the SBA is asking for public feedback before finalizing it
