SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) is publishing this 
notice to comply with requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), which requires agencies to submit proposed 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements to OMB for review and 
approval, and to publish a notice in the Federal Register notifying the

allows an additional 30 days for public comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 8(a) BD Program is designed to enhance 
the business development of small business concerns owned and 
controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals whose 
ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due 
to diminished capital and credit opportunities as compared to others in 
the same or similar line of business. In an effort to increase the 8(a) 
BD Program's accessibility to socially and economically disadvantaged 
small business owners, and reduce the burden on these small businesses, 
SBA has amended Form 1010-BUsiness (8(a)Business Development Program 
Application) and Form 1010-Individual (Individual Information). SBA has 
clarified and simplified instructions, and streamlined the information 
collected from applicants and participants, including eliminating 
information that was deemed unnecessary or could be obtained from other 
sources available to the agency.
    Title: 8(A) SDB Paper and Electronic Application.
    Abstract: The Small Business Administration needs to collect this 
information to determine an applicant's eligibility for admission into 
the 8(a) Business Development (BD) Program and for continued 
eligibility to participate in the Program. SBA also uses some of the 
information for an annual report to Congress on the 8(a) BD Program. 
Respondents can be individuals and firms making applications to the 
8(a) BD Program, or respondents can be individuals and Participant 
firms revising information related to the 8(a) BD Program Annual 
Review.
    Description of Respondents: Applicants for and Participants in the 
8(a) Business Development Program.
    Form Numbers: 1010-Business; 1010- AIT; 1010-ANC; 1010-CDC; 1010-
IND; 1010-NHO; and 1010C.
    Annual Responses: 6045.
    Annual Burden: 29,573.

other documents submitted to OMB for review may be obtained from the 
Agency Clearance Officer.
