requirement.

DATES: Submit comments on or before June 2, 2017.

training through SBA's Resource Partners, SBA Resource Partners,

whether the collection of information is necessary for the agency to 
properly perform its functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are 
accurate; (c) whether there are ways to minimize the burden, including 
through the use of automated techniques or other forms of information 
technology; and (d) whether there are ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected.
    SBA Form Numbers: 641, 888.
