SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Under OMB Review
AGENCY: Small Business Administration.
ACTION: 30-Day notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new
information collection described below. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act and OMB procedures, SBA is publishing this
notice to allow all interested members of the public an additional 30
days to provide comments on the proposed collection of information.
DATES: Submit comments on or before July 30, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for this information
collection request should be sent within 30 days of publication of this
notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection request by selecting ``Small Business
Administration''; ``Currently Under Review,'' then select the ``Only
Show ICR for Public Comment'' checkbox. This information collection can

information collection and supporting documents from the Agency
Clearance Office at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#de8db6bfabb0b7bbbdbbf09dbfacaabbac9eadbcbff0b9b1a8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="88dbe0e9fde6e1edebeda6cbe9fafcedfac8fbeae9a6efe7fe">[email protected]</span></a>; (202) 205-6536, or from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SBA and other Federal agencies offer
financial assistance and special contracting opportunities for business
concerns that are small according to size standards found at 13 CFR
121.201. This form provides information about the business being
reviewed to determine whether it is eligible for small business
programs. The form also collects information to allow SBA to determine
whether the business seeking assistance has one or more affiliates,
based on the affiliation rules in 13 CFR 121.103 (contracting and
development programs) and 121.301 (financial assistance).
Section 8(b)(6) of the Small Business Act authorizes SBA to
determine status as a ``small business concern'' for a business seeking
assistance under the Act, and 13 CFR 121.1008(c) authorizes SBA to
collect information about the business subject to a review. SBA
conducts formal size determinations when there is a size protest
against an apparent awardee of a Federal solicitation that has been
fully or partially restricted to small businesses. See 13 CFR 121.1001
et seq. The size determination is conducted by the responsible SBA
Government Contracting Area Office. As part of the process of the size
determination, the Area Office collects information about the protested
firm using SBA Form 355, Information for Small Business Size
Determination. SBA Form 355 is electronically fillable and is reviewed
by Size Specialists at the various Area Offices. If the information in
SBA Form 355 is not collected, then it is not possible for the Area
Office to conduct the formal size determination as required under 13
CFR 121.1009. Failing to collect the information described above would
impede SBA's ability to complete size determinations for the
socioeconomic programs.
This PRA submission is a renewal information collection for SBA
Form 355.
Solicitation of Public Comments
Comments may be submitted on (a) whether the collection of
information is
[[Page 27899]]
necessary for the agency to properly perform its functions; (b) whether

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: 3245-0101.
Title: Information for Small Business Size Determination.
Description of Respondents: Small Businesses or protested firms.
SBA Form Number: SBA Form 355.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 250.
