§ 33.208 How long does an MBE or WBE self- certification from EPA last?

Self-certifications are valid for a period of three years from the date an entity is self-certified in the EPA SBVPS. Entities are required to re-enter their registration information in the EPA SBVPS every three years in order to maintain MBE or WBE status under the DBE program. Entries in the EPA SBVPS older than three years will be automatically removed from the system.

[81 FR 49550, July 28, 2016]

Once EPA OSDBU certifies an entity to be an MBE or WBE by placing it on the EPA OSDBU list of certified MBEs and WBEs specified in § 33.206, the entity will generally remain on the list for a period of three years from the date of its certification. To remain on the list after three years, an entity must submit a new application and receive a new certification.
