SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Small Business Administration's
(SBA) statutory mission is to ``aid, counsel, assist and protect,
insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns.'' The
Agency's Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED) helps to carry out
this mission by providing training and counseling programs and
initiatives, such as the Regional Innovation Clusters (RIC) initiative,
to existing and prospective small businesses.
Through the RIC initiative, the SBA is investing in regional
clusters--geographic concentrations of interconnected companies,
specialized suppliers, academic institutions, service providers, and
associated organizations with a specific industry focus-- throughout
the United States that span a variety of industries, ranging from
energy and manufacturing to advanced defense technologies.
The RIC Initiative capitalizes on the theory of regional cluster
development
[[Page 10423]]
by supporting ``actively managed'' clusters (i.e., clusters that are
administered by a team of individuals and possess a form of governance
rather than a cluster that occurs naturally without intervention in a
regional economy). The clusters provide a host of services to the
target population of small and emerging businesses within their
regional and industry focuses. Services include direct business
advising and support and sponsoring events, such as networking
opportunities with investors, large businesses, and other stakeholders
in the regions.
Solicitation of Public Comments
Comments may be submitted 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

whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information.
