collection of information before submission to OMB, and to allow 60

with such requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This form is a three-page questionnaire, 
principally in checklist form, designed to give SBA feedback from those 
who attend events which SBA cosponsors with other organizations. The 
form does not ask respondents to identify themselves except by NAICS 
Code. The form asks whether the event provided practical information 
which allowed them to manage their businesses more effectively and 
efficiently and gave them a good working knowledge of the subject. It 
asks whether the program was sufficient. It asks whether each speaker 
was well-organized, interesting, presented information at the 
appropriate level, and communicated well. It asks for suggestions for 
improvement, and for ideas for new topics.
    The form asks some demographic information so that SBA can better 
understand the community which these events serve. Where the event 
relates to government contracting, it asks whether the respondent has 
taken advantage of various government contracting programs which SBA 
offers.
    SBA may also use this form to help evaluate programs which it 
conducts by itself.
    Responding to the questionnaire is entirely voluntary.

Solicitation of Public Comments

    SBA is requesting comments on (a) Whether the collection of 
information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its 
functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (c) whether

automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) 
whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information.
