**SUMMARY:**
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is amending its regulations to correct omissions and errors in its final rule titled Agency Titling Procedure Revision; Nomenclature Changes which appeared in the *Federal Register* on August 30, 2007. In the Agency Titling Procedure Revision rule SBA amended its regulations to change the titles of certain SBA officials to conform to titles that are commonly used across the Federal Government.

This notice will correct the improperly made changes and include the omitted title changes.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The SBA published a final rule in the *Federal Register* on August 30, 2007, (72 FR 50037), which amended its regulations to reflect the new titles of certain SBA officials. The new titles conform SBA's management titles with those commonly used across the Federal Government. No changes were made to the responsibilities, reporting relationship, or other regulatory duties of the SBA officials whose titles are changed.
However, several SBA titles were inadvertently left unchanged. In addition, several title changes were improperly made and need to be corrected. This Notice of Correction will incorporate these additional title changes and will correct the improperly made changes.
