SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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)). OMB has, with the active assistance and support of 
the Small Business Administration (SBA), assembled a list of the 
compliance assistance resources available to small businesses. This 
list is available today on the following Web site: www.sba.gov/sbpra. 
There is also a link to this information on the OMB Web site.
    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)). These contacts are also available at www.sba.gov/sbpra.
    OMB and SBA have chosen to implement this statutory responsibility 
by publishing agency compliance contact information on the SBA.gov Web 
site. The public is also able to find
