SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected on SBA Form 480, 
``Size Status Declaration'' is a certification of small business size 
status for purposes of the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) 
program. This information collection is used to determine whether SBIC 
financial assistance is provided only to small business concerns as 
defined in the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and 
SBA size regulations. Without this certification, businesses that 
exceed SBA's size standards could benefit from program resources meant 
for small businesses.

    Form Number: Form 480.

Applicants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,787.

Solicitation of Public Comments

    SBA invites the public to submit comments, including specific and 
detailed suggestions on ways to improve the collection and reduce the 
burden on respondents. Commenters should also address (i) whether the 
information collection is necessary for the proper performance of SBA's 
functions, including whether it has any practical utility; (ii) the 
accuracy of the estimated burdens; (iii) ways to enhance the quality, 
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.
