SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Investment and Innovation
(OII) of the Small Business Administration (SBA) is required to examine
Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) pursuant to Section 310 of
the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 687b,
and the implementing regulations at 13 CFR 107.690-691. The purpose of
the examination, as provided by statute, is to determine, in part,
whether or not the SBIC has engaged ``solely in lawful activities and
those [activities] contemplated'' by title III of the Small Business

requirement, SBA's Office of SBIC Examinations uses SBA Form 1405,
Stockholder's Confirmation (Corporation), and SBA Form 1405A, Ownership
Confirmation (Partnership), as a means of gathering information
relevant to each SBIC examination. The examinations are required by
statute to occur at least biennially (15 U.S.C. 687b(c)).

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) the
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information collection burden on those who
are required to respond.
