SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Small Business Transportation Technical Assistance Center
(SBTTAC) Intake Form (DOT F 4500).
Background: In accordance with Public Law 95-507, an amendment to
the Small Business Act and the Small Business Investment Act of 1953,
the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) is
responsible for the implementation and execution of DOT activities on
behalf of small businesses, in accordance with Sections 8, 15 and 31 of
the Small Business Act (SBA), as amended. The OSDBU also administers
the provisions of Title 49, of the United States Code, Section 332, the
Minority Resource Center (MRC) which includes the duties of advocacy,
outreach, and financial services on behalf of small businesses and
those certified under 49 CFR parts 23 and 26.
SBTTAC will collect information on small businesses, and types of
services they seek from the Centers. Services and responsibilities of
the Centers include business analysis, general management and technical
assistance and training, business counseling, outreach services/
conference participation, short-term loan and bond assistance. The
cumulative data collected will be analyzed by the OSDBU to determine
the effectiveness of services provided, including counseling, outreach,
and financial services. Such data will also be analyzed by the OSDBU to
determine agency effectiveness in assisting small businesses to enhance
their opportunities to participate in government contracts and
subcontracts.
We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13.
Form Numbers: DOT F 4500.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
The SBTTAC Intake Form (DOT F 4500) is used to enroll small
business clients into the program to create a viable database of firms
that can participate in government contracts and subcontracts,
especially those projects that are transportation related. Each area on
the fillable PDF form must be filled in electronically by the Field
Offices and submitted monthly to OSDBU. The Offices will retain a copy
of each Intake Form for their records. The completion of the form is
used as a tool for making decisions about the needs of the business,
such as: referral to technical assistance agencies for help,
identifying the type of profession or trade of the business, the type
of certification that the business holds, length of time in business,
and location of the firm. This data can assist the Centers in
developing a business plan or adjusting their business plan to increase
its ability to market its goods and services to buyers and potential
users of their services.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,521.
Frequency: The information will be collected once per client.

Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate
of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
