SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    The Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-198) 
requires OMB to ``publish in the Federal Register and make available on 
the Internet (in consultation with the Small Business Administration) 
on an annual basis a list of the compliance assistance resources 
available to small businesses'' (44 U.S.C. 3504(c)(6)). In addition, 
under another provision of this Act, ``each agency shall, with respect 
to the collection of information and the control of paperwork, 
establish 1 point of contact in the agency to act as a liaison between 
the agency and small business concerns'' (44 U.S.C. 3506(i)(1)).
    OMB has, with the active assistance and support of the Small 
Business Administration (SBA) and the Small Business and Agriculture 
Enforcement Ombudsman (SBA Ombudsman), assembled a list of the 
compliance assistance resources available to small businesses. This 
list is available today on the following Web site: http://www.business.gov/sbpra. There is also a link to this information on the 
OMB Web site and the SBA Ombudsman's Web site.
