Not later than 10 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Agency shall conduct outreach to the business center network of the Agency to provide guidance to those centers regarding other Federal programs that are available to provide support to minority business enterprises, including programs at the Department of the Treasury, the Small Business Administration, and the Economic Development Administration of the Department of Commerce. The Agency may hire additional staff to carry out the responsibilities of the Agency under subsection (a).
In carrying out this section, the Agency shall ensure that outreach is conducted in American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities. If the Assistant Secretary determines that a particular American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian community does not receive sufficient grant amounts under section 4 of this Act or section 1108 of the CARES Act, the Assistant Secretary shall carry out additional outreach directly to minority business enterprises located in that community to provide guidance regarding Federal programs that are available to provide support to minority business enterprises.
If, after carrying out this section, there are remaining funds made available to carry out this section from the amount appropriated under section 6, the Agency may use those remaining funds to carry out other responsibilities of the Agency under section 4.
