The Office of Management and Budget and the Small Business Administration received several hundred comments on the proposed changes to the information collection, âEntrepreneurial Development Management Information System (EDMIS) Counseling Information Form & Management Training Reportâ (OMB # 3245-0324). In an effort to give time for the proper review and consideration of these comments, the proposed new collection has been withdrawn. The existing collection will remain active and in-use at this time. Once SBA has considered the comments, OMB has requested that they publish a subsequent Federal Register notice to provide a summary of the comments received, and how the comments changed/didnât change the new collection.
