SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-663, OMB Control No. 3235-0724]
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Supplier
Diversity Business Management System
Upon Written Request Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549-2736
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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
The Commission is required under section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street and Reform Act to develop standards and processes for ensuring
the fair inclusion of women-owned and minority-owned businesses in all
of the Commission's business activities. In addition, the Commission is
required to develop standards for coordinating technical assistance to
minority-owned and women-owned businesses. 12 U.S.C. 5452(b)(2)(B). To
help implement these requirements, the Office of Minority and Women
Inclusion (OMWI) developed and maintains an electronic Supplier
Diversity Business Management System (SDBMS) to collect up-to-date
business information and capabilities statements from diverse suppliers
interested in doing business with the Commission. The information
collected in SDBMS assists the Commission with its market research
efforts, enables the Commission to assess the effectiveness of its
technical assistance and outreach efforts and identify target areas for
additional program efforts, and facilitates the Commission's compliance
with its Congressionally-mandated reporting obligations on the
Commission's contract awards.
The Commission invited comments on SDBMS. Information is collected
in SDBMS via web-based, e-filed, dynamic form-based technology. The
company point of contact completes a profile consisting of basic
contact data and information on the capabilities of the business. The
profile includes a series of questions, some of which are based on the
data that the individual enters. Drop-down lists are included where
appropriate to increase ease of use.
The information collection is voluntary. There are no costs
associated with this collection. SDBMS allows suppliers to self-
register via a secure web portal that is accessible through a hyperlink
on the Commission's public website.
Title of Collection: Supplier Diversity Management System.
Type of Review: Request for extension of previously approved
collection of information.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 300.
Estimated Annual Reporting Burden: 150 hours (30 minutes per
submission).
On February 1, 2024, the Commission published a notice in the
Federal Register (89 FR 6558) of its intention to request an extension
of this currently approved collection of information and allowed the
public 60 days to submit comments. The Commission received no comments.
Written comments continue to be invited on: (a) whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
[[Page 24067]]
techniques or other forms of information technology.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
