New ICR:
OASB Generic Clearance Request
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'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this new
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
The Commission's Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital
Formation (``Office'') seeks to collect feedback from small businesses
and their investors to understand better the population that it is
serving and their role in the small business ecosystem. The proposed
collection of information will help ensure that the Office's outreach
efforts and communication materials and other program initiatives are
effective and responsive to customer needs. More specifically, the
Office will seek the following four categories of information: (i)
Demographic information about program participants, (ii) feedback on
the Office's outreach and educational materials, (iii) capital
formation-related questions, and (iv) issues and challenges faced by
small businesses and their investors. This feedback will allow the
Office to tailor its outreach efforts and communication materials to
serve its customers more effectively. Collecting feedback will also
allow the Office to understand better its target audience and improve
outreach events and educational materials by optimizing their content
and delivery, while strategizing how best to deploy the Office's
resources to address issues and challenges faced by its customers.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful
[[Page 58972]]
information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for information will
not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed
to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program performance.
Below are the projected average estimates for the next three years:
Expected Annual Number of:
Activities: [20].
Respondents: [6,200].
Responses: [6,200].
Frequency of Response: Once per request.
Average Minutes per Response: [5].
Burden Hours: [517].
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Office, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden
of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 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. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments to: David L. Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
