🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) has issued a 60-day public comment notice regarding its intention to seek OMB approval to renew the information collection associated with the SBTTAC Intake Form (DOT Form 4500), currently assigned OMB Control Number 2105-0554. The SBTTAC (Small Business Transportation Resource Center Technical Assistance Center) Intake Form is used to collect information from small and disadvantaged businesses seeking technical assistance, counseling, or support through DOT's small business programs. The form helps OSDBU assess the needs of applicants and route them to appropriate resources. The 60-day comment period, triggered by this Federal Register notice dated April 2, 2026, invites members of the public, affected businesses, and stakeholders to submit feedback on the necessity, utility, and burden of the information collection before it is formally submitted to OMB for renewal approval. This is a routine administrative renewal process under the Paperwork Reduction Act and does not introduce new regulatory requirements or substantive policy changes. However, it keeps the data collection mechanism legally authorized for continued use by the DOT.
