SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-663, OMB Control No. 3235-0724]
For Submission; Comment Request
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549-2736
Extension:
Supplier Diversity Business Management System
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information summarized below.
The Commission is required under Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street and Reform Act to develop standards and processes for ensuring
the fair inclusion of women-owned and minority-owned businesses in all
of the Commission's business activities. In addition, the Commission is
required to develop standards for coordinating technical assistance to
minority-owned and women-owned businesses. 12 U.S.C. 5452(b)(2)(B). To
help implement these requirements, the Office of Minority and Women
Inclusion (OMWI) developed and maintains an electronic Supplier
Diversity Business Management System (SDBMS) to collect up-to-date
business information and capabilities statements from diverse suppliers
interested in doing business with the Commission. The information
collected in SDBMS assists the Commission with its market research
efforts, enables the Commission to assess the effectiveness of its
technical assistance and outreach efforts and identify target areas for
additional program efforts, and facilitates the Commission's compliance
with its Congressionally-mandated reporting obligations on the
Commission's contract awards.
The Commission invited comments on SDBMS. Information is collected
in SDBMS via web-based, e-filed, dynamic form-based technology. The
company point of contact completes a profile consisting of basic
contact data and information on the capabilities of the business. The
profile includes a series of questions, some of which are based on the
data that the individual enters. Drop-down lists are included where
appropriate to increase ease of use.
The information collection is voluntary. There are no costs
associated with this collection. SDBMS allows suppliers to self-
register via a secure web portal that is accessible through a hyperlink
on the Commission's public website.
Estimated number of annual responses: 300.
Estimated annual reporting burden: 150 hours (30 minutes per
submission).
Other than a recent decrease in the number of respondents,
presumably due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the estimated number of
respondents overall remains the same at 300 per year, based on the
actual response rate prior to the pandemic. As such, the total burden
estimate also remains the same at 150 hours.
On May 11, 2021, the Commission published a notice in the Federal
Register (86 FR 25931) of its intention to request an extension of this
currently approved collection of information, and
[[Page 38515]]
allowed the public 60 days to submit comments. The Commission received
no comments.
Written comments continued to be invited on: (a) Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.

collection at the following website: <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>. Find this
