&EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency Volume 1 -2010 Director's Note 2010 is well under way and we continue to monitor the latest developments concerning the environment, the economy, and the intersection of the two. In this installment of the OSBP newsletter, we focus on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program is an outreach, education, and goaling program designed to increase and encourage the utilization and participation of DBEs in procurements funded by EPA assistance agreements. OSBP's Indirect Procurement Team establishes policy and provides procedural guidance for the DBE Program. The DBE Program requirements apply to all procurements for equipment, supplies, construction and services under all EPA grants, cooperative agreements, and lAGs. Specific DBE Program functions include: • Developing and monitoring DBE Program policy and procedures. • Providing outreach and training to internal and external DBE program stakeholders. • Providing technical and programmatic assistance to minority and women- owned businesses. • Collecting, compiling, and analyzing data on MBE/WBE utilization under EPA financial assistance agreements, including Interagency Agreements (lAs). As always, we strive to keep our readership informed and updated. Inside this newsletter, you will find the latest small business news with a special focus on those individuals and entities that represent the very best of the positive work and progress of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. We are also especially pleased to recognize the recent Award Recipients from the Administrator's 21st Annual Small Business Awards Ceremony. I hope that you will take a moment to absorb this information as you continue to progress in 2010. Read and Reflect, Jeanette L.

On February 5, 2010 in Lan- ham, Maryland, President Obama proposed the expansion of two critical Small Business Admin- istration (SBA) lending programs, aimed at al- lowing small businesses to refinance and increas- ing limits for working capital. These are both legislative proposals designed to help small busi- nesses through what continues to be a difficult period in credit markets. President Obama said, "The true engine of job creation will always be businesses. What govern- ment can do is fuel that engine: by giving entre- preneurs and companies the support to open their doors, expand, and hire more workers. Today, we're taking another step towards assisting small business owners get the capital they need to grow and hire." SBA Administrator Karen Mills said, "These proposals will provide us with two effective tools to help small businesses meet specific challenges brought on by the recession. First, in the tight credit market of the last two years, lines of cred- its have been cut for small firms. Raising the limit on SBA Express loans to $1 million will mean more small business owners will have quicker access to this source of capital to help restock in- ventories and support larger revenue sales, and literally take that next step to grow their busi- ness and create new jobs. Second, thousands of good, creditworthy businesses find themselves caught by declining real estate values as a result of this recession. With many of them now fac- ing mortgages coming due in the next few years, the ability to refinance into SBAs 504 loan will give them the chance to lock in long-term, stable financing, as well as protect jobs by protecting small businesses from foreclosure." Details of the President's New Small Business Initiatives are Below: 1. Expand SBA's existing program to tempo- rarily support refinancing for owner-occupied commercial real estate loans: The Administration is proposing legislation to temporarily allow for the refinancing of owner- occupied commercial real estate (CRE) loans under the SBAs 504 program, which provides guarantees on loans for the development of real estate and other fixed assets. Currently, 504 loans cannot be used for the refinancing of maturing debt. This change would respond to the difficul- ties many current, solvent borrowers face in refi- nancing existing commercial real estate loans. Businesses with a loan maturing in the next year who are current on all loan payments will be eligible. Lenders that are refinancing mortgages for existing customers will make a loan for up to 70 percent of the current property value; and SBA will help finance the remaining 20 percent. For new lenders taking on a refinancing project, SBA will take on a greater share of financing, up to 40 percent. SBAs proposal for a temporary, zero-subsidy CRE refinancing program would be funded through additional fees for refinancing projects, not through a Congressional appropria- tion. This proposal will help refinance up to $18.7 osbp news • volume 1 • 2010 • www.epa.gov/osbp ------- billion each year in commercial real estate that might otherwise be foreclosed and liquidated. 2. Temporarily increase the cap on SBA Express loans from $350,000 to $1 million: The President is proposing to temporarily in- crease the maximum SBA Express loan size to $1 million, which would expand the program's ability to help a broad range of small businesses through a streamlined approval process. Unlike traditional 7(a) loans, lenders can use their own paperwork for SBA Express loans, which can be structured as revolving lines of credit. Currently, these Express loans are capped at $350,000 and carry a 50 percent guarantee. Fees would cover virtually all of the added costs of this proposal. These proposals complement the President's broader small business agenda—a key part of his overall jobs plan. The other elements of the small business agenda include: • Extending small business expensing and bonus depreciation for 2010. Eliminating capital gains taxes for small businesses in 2010. • A Small Business Jobs and Wages Tax Credit that would cut taxes for more than 1 million small businesses by paying up to $5,000 for every net new job and covers payroll taxes on overall wage increases in excess of inflation. • A proposal to transfer, through legislation, $30 billion to a new Small Business Lending Fund that will support lending by community and smaller banks. • Additional SBA lending proposals, including an extension of the Recovery Act programs that eliminate fees and raise guarantees on SBA's two largest loan programs and permanent increases in the maximum loan sizes for major SBA programs. ..at are and WBEs?

The Association for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) In March of 1986, a group of members of Dis- abled American Veterans in Palo Alto, Califor- nia decided to explore the possibility that en- trepreneurial programs for service disabled and prisoner of war veterans (SDV) could be of value in supplementing disability income and increas- ing quality of life. The Association for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) was subsequently founded as a non-profit public benefit organiza- tion with the goal of creating opportunities for SDVs to achieve and maintain their rehabilitation through enterprise development and managed employment. Today, ASDV is a national associa- tion that is establishing greater economic partici- pation for service disabled and prisoner of war veterans and all of the 80 million veteran family members in the United States. ASDV is the pioneer in the inclusion of service disabled and prisoner of war veterans enterprise (SDVE) in the specially assisted procurement programs of the Federal and State Governments and their Private Sector contractors. ASDV now provides a "new" service for full members; seek- ing and initiating contracting and procurement opportunities for members in both the govern- ment and private sector.

Paul to Mr. Tommie Madison on January 29, 2010 Mr. Madison: I am writing this email to appreciate the efforts of the Obama administration and the USEPA in assisting DBE firms through the Recovery and Reinvestment Act and stimulus program. We have been in business since 1999 and have had very little success in obtaining any contracts from the prime contractors who have consistently ob- tained waivers from using well qualified MBE and DBE firms. Their excuse of not able to find qualified DBE or MBE does not hold water since the invention of Google! A prime contractor who is interested in getting the contracts from USEPA can now easily find out by just visiting the State and City minority office by not even leaving his/ her desk. Google! Every reputable and quali- fied DBE/MBE firm now has a Web site that can provide enough information about DBE firms. Because of the strict requirements and account- ability requirements of the present administra- tion under President Obama, we have been get- ting calls from these prime contractors who have not done so even after we have marketed them. I want to thank your office for taking to task those contractors who don't fulfill their obligations in not hiring DBE and MBE firms. While much debates rage in Washington about the stimulus plan not being effective, I want to share the view of a small business in the Mid- west. Ark Engineering Services Inc. appreciates the stimulus plan that has helped our firm to avoid cut backs and lay offs. We feel that the Obama administration has done the right thing. Of vital importance is the real effort and action taken by the USEPA and your office to assist DBE firms in getting the benefits of the stimulus money. I am more than happy to give a testimonial to this fact. Please continue to help the DBE firms. Recently USEPA region had given some stimu- lus money to the Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) with the requirement of MBE participation. As a result of this requirement we have got many calls to use of drilling services. To answer the question has the stimulus money worked for you? YES! Please continue your commitment to DBE firms. Thanks. My kudos to your office, USEPA, and EPA administrator Lisa Jackson. Wesley K. Paul, P.E., CP Principal Engineer Ark Engineering Services Inc. 6347 S.

But in today's workplace no one goes it alone." —Lisa Jackson, EPA By Claire Swedberg Contributing Editor, Diversity Career Lisa Jackson, administrator of the U.S. Envi- ronmental Protection Agency (EPA, Washing- ton, DC) is one of the most influential ChEs in the U.S., maybe the world. The foundation she built with her BSChE and MSChE in the 1980s, she says, has stayed with her throughout a career path that led her through the EPA, to chief of staff to New Jersey's gover- nor Jon S. Corzine, then back to work in the area of her great- est passion, the en- vironment. As EPA Administrator, Jackson leads a staff of 18,000 professionals. At Port Newark, NJ, Environ- mental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson announces a plan to reduce toxic ship emissions along U.S. coast- lines and waterways. "Who knew!" she says with a smile. "Engineer- ing can lead anywhere. It teaches you to solve problems," and that is one of her most valuable skills. Time for the Environment This is a really good time to go into EnvE, ChE or the energy-related sciences, Jackson declares. Her boss, who happens to be President Obama, is dedicated to expanding a "green revolution," and that will mean lots of work for engineers with sharp minds and innovative ideas. The government, she adds, is a good place for sharp minds. In today's world energy is related to environment, and both mean jobs. People of many disciplines and descriptions need to be able to work together. The EPA is encouraging appli- cants who can work together in a diverse team. Lisa Jackson: Career Priorities at the EPA Lisa Jackson is the first African American, although not the first woman, to head the EPA. She has set her career priorities on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, managing chemical risks, cleaning up hazardous waste sites and protecting America's water. When she got her BSChE summa cum laude from Tulane University (New Orleans, LA) in 1983 and went on to an MSChE from Princeton University (Princeton, NJ), Jackson was already interested in the environment. Her attention had been caught by the Love Canal environmen- tal disaster around Buffalo, NY and the launch of the Superfund program, and she wanted to get into the work. "If engineers could design a system that created environmental problems, osbp news • volume 1 • 2010 • www.epa.gov/osbp ------- they should also be able to design solutions to those problems," she says. After college she found a job as staff level engi- neer at the EPA, first at its Washington, DC Head- quarters and later at a regional office in New York, NY. She directed hazardous waste cleanup opera- tions in central New Jersey and helped direct the region's enforcement division. Jackson joined the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2002 as assistant commissioner for compliance and en- forcement, then assistant commissioner for land use management. In 2006, New Jersey governor Jon S. Corzine appointed her State Commission- er of the DEP. As Commissioner, Jackson was known for her fight against greenhouse gases, her aggressive action on pollution and her open dialogue with stakeholders in the public policy process. She was also an advocate for underserved communi- ties seeking fair environmental protection. Gov- ernor Corzine appointed her his Chief of Staff, but not for long. When he took office, President Obama wooed her away to be EPA chief. Government is Great Experience Jackson's engineering background, she says, taught her to define problems and resolve them. "I think that training is invaluable," she notes. She recognized her own energetic drive early in her career. She has always been in government work and encourages engineers to look at posi- tions there. "I'm a strong believer that the Federal Govern- ment is a great place for young people to get ex- perience early on. In the private sector that could take decades," she says. She raised two children while expanding her career role at the EPA, thanks in part to the agency's mother-friendly environment. "The Federal Government is one place where there's no parent penalty," she says. "Engineering is meant to be very hard; that's nor- mal," Jackson believes. "But in the workplace of today no one goes it alone. We're trying to get diverse teams around a table." The President, she adds, "likes to see teams that can come up with robust solutions." For her own part, Jackson finds that the challeng- es keep coming. "The President is a great boss. He's got us working really hard," she says. At this point in history, she finds Washington, DC an exciting and vibrant place. "Young people are optimistic; they know change can be a very good thing," Jackson concludes.
