            (1) an assessment of the challenges and needs of such 
        providers;
            (2) a description of the resources and support that the 
        Small Business Administration provides to such providers;
            (3) any deficiencies in the resources and support described 
        under paragraph (2); and
            (4) any recommendations for legislative actions necessary 
        to address any challenges or needs faced by such providers that 
        are identified by the report required in this subsection.
    (b) Designated Employee Duties.--The Administrator of the Small

            (2) provide recommendations to the Administrator on how to 
        better deliver existing resources and support to for-profit 
        child care providers.
