SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1966, 15 U.S.C. 657(b)(2)(B), requires the SBA National
Ombudsman to establish a means for SBA to receive comments on
regulatory and compliance actions from small entities regarding their
disagreements with a Federal Agency action. The Ombudsman uses it to
obtain the agency's response, encourages a fresh look by the agency at
a high level, and build a smaller business-friendly regulatory
environment. The form will be updated to include several key
enhancements aimed at improving clarity and user protection.
Instructions will be modified to guide small business entities through
the completion process and ease of use. A non-retaliation policy will
be incorporated to reinforce SBREFA protections for small business
entities who choose to submit a comment and emphasize the Office of the
National Ombudsman's commitment to a safe and supportive environment.
Additionally, the confidentiality clause will be revised to provide
clear language and reflect the appropriate statutes governing
confidentiality.
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.
