SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 5004 of the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021, Public Law 117-2 (3/11/2021) authorized SBA to establish a
Community Navigator Pilot Program. Under this authority, SBA may make
grants to private nonprofit organizations, resource partners, States,
Tribes, and units of local government to ensure the delivery of free
community navigator services to current or prospective owners of small
businesses in order to improve access to COVID-related assistance
programs and resources.
To facilitate expeditious implementation of the program, on June 8,
2021, SBA obtained emergency approval from OMB, including waiver of the
public comment notice required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d). That authority
expires on December 31, 2021. On October 14, 2021, SBA published the
waived 60-day notice in the Federal Register at 86 FR 27243. The Agency
received four comments in response to the notice and will address
disposition of those comments when it submits the information
collection to OMB for standard processing.
Summary of Information Collection
This information collection consists of (SBA Form 3516, Community
Navigators Pilot Program Client and Program Information Form, and
quarterly reporting requirements. The form collects information from
applicants to the Community Navigator Program to determine their
eligibility for an award. At this time the application period is no
longer open; however, SBA is extending this portion of the information
collection in the event an additional funding opportunity becomes
available. Form 3516 also collects data on the clients served by the
awardees of the Community Navigator Pilot Program, to help track
grantee performance and evaluate program success. This information
collection also includes a requirement for grantees to report quarterly

results and appropriately utilizing grant funds in support of the
Community Navigator Program.
