Sec.  126.304  What must a concern submit to SBA?

    (a) To be certified by SBA as a qualified HUBZone SBC, a concern 
must submit a completed application and represent to SBA that it meets 
the requirements set forth in Sec.  126.200. After submitting the 
application, applicants must notify SBA of any material changes that 
could affect its eligibility. The concern must also submit any 
additional information required by SBA.
    (b) Concerns applying for HUBZone status based on a location within 
the

external boundaries of an Indian reservation must use SBA's maps 
(located at https://eweb1.sba.gov/hubzone/internet/) to verify that the 
location is within the external boundaries of an Indian reservation. If, 
however, SBA's maps indicate that the location is not within the 
external boundaries of an Indian reservation and the concern disagrees, 
then the concern must submit official documentation from the appropriate 
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Land Titles and Records Office with 
jurisdiction over the concern's area, confirming that it is located 
within the external boundaries of an Indian reservation. BIA lists the 
Land Titles and Records Offices and their jurisdiction in 25 CFR 150.4 
and 150.5.
    (c) Concerns applying for HUBZone status based on a location within 
a qualified base closure area must use SBA's List of Qualified Base 
Closure Areas (located at http://www.sba.gov/hubzone) to verify that the 
location is within a qualified base closure area. If a concern disagrees 
with the failure of SBA's List of Qualified Base Closure Areas to 
include a particular area as a qualified base closure area, then the 
concern must submit relevant documentation from the Department of 
Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment, or the military department 
responsible for closing that installation.
    (d) If the concern was decertified for failure to notify SBA of a 
material change affecting its eligibility pursuant to Sec.  126.501, it 
must include with its application for certification a full explanation 
of why it failed to notify SBA of the material change. If SBA is not 
satisfied with the explanation provided, SBA may decline to certify the 
concern.
