Title: Regional Food Business Centers.
OMB Control Number: 0581-0335.
Summary of Collection: The Regional Food Business Centers are
authorized and funded by Section 1001(b)(4) of the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2). Under Section 1001(b)(4), the Secretary is
directed to provide assistance for maintaining and improving food and
agricultural supply chain resiliency. AMS will enter into cooperative
agreements with the RFBCs.
The Regional Food Business Centers will be the backbone for local
and regional supply chain development and will offer coordination,
technical assistance, and capacity building support to small and mid-
sized food and farm businesses which will lead to more resilient,
diverse, and connected supply chains. This program will provide a way
for geographic regions to tailor development and investment to fit
their needs, while recognizing that resilient supply chains are built
upon strong relationships between individuals, communities, regions,
sectors, and institutions. The RFBCs will support coordination in their
region, fund technical assistance (TA) providers to offer business
technical assistance to food and farm businesses and provide small
grants to food businesses looking to expand or start in their region.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is
needed to certify that RFBCs are complying with applicable program
regulations, and the data collected is the minimum information
necessary to effectively carry out the requirements of the program. The
information collection requirements in this request are essential to
administer and evaluate the program and to provide the necessary
technical assistance to RFBCs and their subrecipients.
The data collection will include the collection of application
information, quarterly reports, in addition to biannual interviews and
quantitative information related to RFBCs (awardees), the TA providers
(sub-awardees) and the businesses they fund.
