<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA is required by statute to administer
the 8(a) Business Development (15 U.S.C. 637(a); 13 CFR 124);
Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) (15 U.S.C. 657a; 13
CFR 126); Veteran-Owned/Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (VOSB/SDVOSB)
(15 U.S.C. 657f and 657f-1; 13 CFR 128); and Women-Owned/Economically
Disadvantaged Women-Owned (WOSB/EDWOSB) (15 U.S.C. 636(m); 13 CFR 127)
certification programs. The Small Business Act requires small
businesses to apply to SBA for 8(a), HUBZone, VOSB/SDVOSB, and WOSB/
EDWOSB certifications. SBA's regulations require the applications for
certification to be submitted electronically. All of the collections
are overseen by Government Contracting and Business Development staff.
The HUBZone program requires small businesses to recertify their
eligibility annually, while WOSB/EDWOSB and VOSB/SDVOSB require
recertification every three years. All recertifications are done
electronically. This information collection will allow for application,
certification, recertification, and administration of the 8(a),
HUBZone, WOSB/EDWOSB, and VOSB/SDVOSB programs in one system. By having
one system, the process is streamlined and easier for small businesses
applying to SBA for certification.
Failing to collect the information described above would impede
SBA's ability to fulfill its statutory mandates to certify 8(a),
HUBZone, VOSB/SDVOSB, and WOSB/EDWOSB certification programs, and
maintain and update the list of certified small business concerns.
This PRA submission will amend SBA forms from the current HUBZone
(OMB Control No. 3245-0320), 8(a) (OMB Control No. 3245-0331), VOSB/
SDVOSB (OMB Control No. 3245-0426), and WOSB/EDWOSB (OMB Control No.
3245-0374) information collections into one unified information
collection.
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
there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d)
whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information.
OMB Control Number 3245-0374.
