SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information is necessary under the Defense
Production Act of 1950 (DPA), as amended, and related Executive Order
13603. Under the Competitive Enhancement Needs Assessment Survey
Program (The Program), the Bureau of Industry and Security's Office of
Technology Evaluation (OTE) distributes surveys nationwide to
businesses in order to determine which government competitive
enhancement, procurement opportunity and business diversification
programs would benefit their competitive position in the marketplace.
The results of the mandatory surveys allow The Program to align
industry stakeholders with the Federal and State resources best suited
to meet their individual needs. The expertise of 70+ Federal and State
government organizations is made available to The Program, in addition
to the excess equipment and facilities resident in closed Federal
installations plus the excess government equipment at government
contractor facilities. The companies respond to the OTE program surveys
on a mandatory basis.
