SBA Information Collection Submitted for Public Comment (30-Day Notice)

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced its intention to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice opens a 30-day public comment window beginning on or after March 27, 2026. The Paperwork Reduction Act requires federal agencies to obtain OMB clearance before collecting information from the public. Publishing this notice is a mandatory step in that process, giving citizens, businesses, and organizations the opportunity to weigh in on the burden and value of the proposed data collection. Interested parties may submit comments regarding the necessity of the information, the accuracy of the SBA's burden estimates, ways to enhance the quality or utility of the information, and methods to minimize the reporting burden on respondents, including through automation. No specific form, program, or dataset is identified in the excerpt provided; the notice serves as the formal public participation mechanism preceding OMB's final clearance decision.
