The Small Business Administration (SBA) is asking the public to comment on a proposed data collection related to the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, they need approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are providing an additional 30 days for the public to submit feedback. Comments can address whether the information collection is necessary, if the burden estimates are correct, and how the process could be improved. The SBA aims to update and refine its collection process to include new certification requirements and reporting instructions.
Simple Explanation
The Small Business Administration wants to make sure they are asking the right questions when working with women-owned businesses, so they are asking people to give their thoughts. They also want to change some rules to make it easier to do, but they need permission first.
