SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 5004 of the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) authorized SBA to establish a Community
Navigator Pilot Program. Under this authority, SBA will make grants to
private nonprofit organizations, resource partners, States, Tribes and
units of local government to ensure the delivery of free community
navigator services to current or prospective owners of small businesses
in order to improve access to COVID-related assistance programs and
resources.
To facilitate expeditious implementation of the program, SBA
obtained emergency approval from OMB, including waiver of the public
comment notice required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d). That authority expires on
December 31, 2021. SBA is publishing this notice as a prerequisite to
obtaining an extension of the approval period of the information
collection, which consists of application requirements for the program,
SBA Form 3516, Community Navigators Pilot Program Client and Program
Information Form, and quarterly reporting requirements.
Information collected from applicants to the Community Navigator
Program will be used to determine applicant's eligibility for an award.
At this time the application period is no longer open; however, SBA is
extending this requirement in the event an additional funding
opportunity becomes available. Form 3516 will collect data on the
clients served by the awardees of the Community Navigator Pilot
Program, which will be used to track grantee performance and help to
evaluate program success. The grantees' quarterly performance reports
will help SBA to assess program activity and the extent to which
grantees are achieving desired program results and appropriately
utilizing grant funds in support of the Community Navigator Program.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is requesting comments 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.
