Capturing more targeted information for SBA events would significantly streamline event planning and execution while strengthening the SBA's core mission of aiding, counseling, and assisting and protecting the interests of small businesses. By collecting relevant details upfront at registration including, but not limited to, business size, industry, NAICS codes, and current capabilities and needs, SBA can transform reactive data collection into a proactive, efficient process. In addition to registration, SBA may use this generic clearance to collect information for activities to benefit small businesses at all SBA outreach events including, but not limited to, events conducted under the authority granted by 15 U.S.C. 637(b)(1)(A) and section 132(a) of Division K in Public Law 108-447, as reauthorized by the annual Appropriations Act.
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 there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information.
