WASHINGTON — The Small Business Administration is asking for comment on its Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2008 through 2012, which was released on Friday.

The agency's four strategic goals going forward are to expand service in underserved markets, provide timely financial assistance to homeowners, renters, nonprofit organizations and businesses affected by disaster, improve the economic environment for small business and ensure management and organizational excellence to increase responsiveness to customers, streamline processes, and improve compliance and controls.

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 requires federal agencies to update their strategic plan every three years and submit the plan to the Congress. Federal agencies also must solicit the views and suggestions of those potentially affected by, or interested in, the plan.
