notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

information collection and supporting documents from the Agency
Clearance Office at Curtis Rich, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#acefd9ded8c5df82fec5cfc4ecdfcecd82cbc3da"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ecaf999e98859fc2be858f84ac9f8e8dc28b839a">[email protected]</span></a>, (202) 205-7030,
or from <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 submit 8(a), HUBZone, VOSB/SDVOSB, and WOSB/EDWOSB
certification renewals and annual reviews. SBA's regulations require
the submissions for certification renewal/annual review to be submitted
electronically. All of the collections are overseen by Government
Contracting and Business Development staff. The HUBZone and 8(a)
programs require certification renewal of their eligibility annually,
while WOSB/EDWOSB and VOSB/SDVOSB require
[[Page 87453]]
certification renewal every three years. All certification renewals and
annual reviews are done electronically. This new information collection
will allow for certification compliance in the 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB/
EDWOSB, and VOSB/SDVOSB programs through one system. By having one
system, the process is streamlined and easier for small businesses
submitting for recertification.
Failing to collect the information described above would impede
SBA's ability to fulfill its statutory mandates to recertify 8(a),
HUBZone, VOSB/SDVOSB, and WOSB/EDWOSB certification compliance in the
programs, and maintain and update the list of certified small business
concerns.
This PRA submission is a new information collection for SBA Form
2539 and will combine certification renewals and annual reviews 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-XXXX.

SBA certification renewal and annual review in the 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB/
