SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Capturing more targeted information for SBA 
events would significantly streamline event planning and execution 
while strengthening the SBA's core mission of aiding, counseling, and 
assisting and protecting the interests of small businesses. By 
collecting relevant details upfront at registration including, but not 
limited to, business size, industry, NAICS codes, and current 
capabilities and needs, SBA can transform reactive data collection into 
a proactive, efficient process. In addition to registration, SBA may 
use this generic clearance to collect information for activities to 
benefit small businesses at all SBA outreach events including, but not 
limited to, events conducted under the authority granted by 15 U.S.C. 
637(b)(1)(A) and section 132(a) of Division K in Public Law 108-447, as 
reauthorized by the annual Appropriations Act.

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.
