SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2016, based on authorities provided in
the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, and the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, the Small Business
Administration established a Government-wide mentor-
prot[eacute]g[eacute] program for all small business concerns, (the All
Small Mentor Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Program) consistent with SBA's
mentor-prot[eacute]g[eacute] program for Participants in SBA's 8(a)
Business Development (BD) program. This information collection
facilitates ongoing implementation and administration of that program.
The collection of information consists of: SBA Form 2459, Mentor
Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Agreement, which collects information to assist
with evaluating the prot[eacute]g[eacute]'s needs and goals as well as
the mentor's ability to meet those needs; SBA Form 2460, Mentor
Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Benefits Report, which collects information to
determine the participants continuing eligibility to participate in the
All Small Business Mentor Prot[eacute]g[eacute] Program and evaluate
program performance, including the level of technical, management, and
financial assistance the mentor provided to the prot[eacute]g[eacute].
Each mentor is also required to submit information to show that it is
financially capable of carrying out its responsibilities to assist the
prot[eacute]g[eacute] firm meet its goals. Finally, for those mentors
and proteges that are involved in joint ventures, this information
collection requires them to submit a copy of quarterly financial
statements and performance of work reports to help SBA monitor
compliance with performance of work requirements.
Both Forms 2459 and 2460 have been changed to collect additional
information. Changes to Form 2459 include questions about other mentor
prot[eacute]g[eacute] agreements and information that might lead to a
finding of affiliation between the mentor and protege, and changes to
Form 2460 include additional clarifying questions about joint ventures,
contract offers, awards and performance, as well as information about
subcontract awards and the prot[eacute]g[eacute]'s revenue and/or staff
growth.

information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its
