Data Collection Available for Public Comments

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) intends to request 
approval, from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the 
collection of information described below. The Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C Chapter 35 requires federal agencies to publish 
a notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information before submission to OMB, and to allow 60 days for public 
comment in response to the notice. This notice complies with that 
requirement.

DATES: Submit comments on or before December 14, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send all comments to Andrienne Johnson, Staff Assistant, 
Office of Administrator, Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, 
7th Floor, Washington, DC 20416.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrienne Johnson, Staff Assistant, 
202-205-6685, [email protected], or Curtis B. Rich, Management 
Analyst, 202-205-7030, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This form is used to collect information 
from candidates for advisory councils. This form is needed to determine 
eligibility, potential conflict-of-interest and mailing data. SBA made 
some minor revisions to Form 898 in an effort to improve the quality of 
information received from advisory committee nominees and to enhance 
the evaluation and conflict of interest determination process. The Form 
898 has also been reformatted for readability. The former design proved 
to be confusing for respondents and people inadvertently skipped 
questions. The redesign especially the incorporation of ``yes/no'' 
checkboxes increases the likelihood that respondents will answer all 
questions.
