SBA is creating a unified certification system for all of the certification programs to allow a small business concern to apply for all programs for which they qualify at one time. By submitting their documents in one system, it deletes any duplicative or unnecessary questions. SBA is combining the information collections of 8(A), HUBZone, VOSB/SDVOSB, and WOSB/EDWOSB into one information collection.
The number of applications under OMB Control No. 3245-0374 will initially increase because all 8(A), HUBZone, WOSB/EDWSOB, and VOSB/SDVOSB small businesses certifications have been combined into one collection, instead of being divided across four collections.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
