[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 13, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2007] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 13CFR126.500] [Page 457-458] TITLE 13--BUSINESS CREDIT AND ASSISTANCE CHAPTER I--SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PART 126_HUBZONE PROGRAM--Table of Contents Subpart E_Maintaining HUBZone Status Sec. 126.500 How does a qualified HUBZone SBC maintain HUBZone certification? Any qualified HUBZone SBC seeking to remain on the List must recertify every three years to SBA that it remains a qualified HUBZone SBC (See Sec. 126.501 for ongoing obligations). Concerns wishing to remain in the program without any interruption must recertify their continued eligibility to SBA within 30 calendar days after the third anniversary of their date of certification and each subsequent three- year period. Failure to do so will result in SBA initiating decertification proceedings. Once decertified, the concern then would have to submit a new application for certification pursuant to Sec. 126.309. The recertification to SBA must be in writing and must represent [[Page 458]] that the circumstances relative to eligibility that existed on the date of certification showing on the List have not materially changed and that the concern meets any new eligibility requirements.
