Pioneer Ventures Limited Partnership; Notice of Request for 
Exemption

    On November 25, 1997, Pioneer Ventures Limited Partnership (the 
``Licensee''), a Massachusetts limited partnership and SBIC Licensee 
number 01/01-0337 filed a request to the SBA pursuant to Section 
107.730(d) of the Regulations governing small business investment 
companies (13 CFR 107.730(d)(1997)) for an exemption allowing the 
Licensee to invest in Vibrint Corporation (Vibrint), of Bedford, 
Massachusetts. Vibrint received prior financial assistance from an 
Associate (as defined by Section 107.50 of the SBA Regulations) of the 
Licensee, and has itself become an Associate of the Licensee.
    Vibrint is currently in need of additional capital, however, the 
Licensee can only offer this assistance to Vibrint upon receipt of a 
prior written exemption from SBA. The exemption requested is the basis 
for this notice, and is required pursuant to Sec. 107.730(g) of the 
Regulations.
    Notice is hereby given that any person may, not later than 15 days 
from the date of publication of this Notice, submit written comments on 
this exemption request to the Associate Administrator for Investment, 
Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW, Washington, DC
