SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Boots to Business is an entrepreneurial 
education initiative offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration 
(SBA) as a career track within the Department of Defense's revised 
Training Assistance Program called Transition Goals, Plans, Success 
(Transition GPS). The curriculum provides valuable assistance to 
transitioning service members exploring self-employment opportunities 
by leading them through the key steps for evaluating business concepts 
and the foundational knowledge required for developing a business plan. 
Participants are also introduced to SBA resources available to help 
access startup capital and additional technical assistance.
    The Boots to Business Post Course surveys will be online, voluntary 
surveys that enable the Boots to Business program office to capture 
data related but not limited to the effectiveness of all Boots to 
Business courses, quality of the instructors and materials, and number 
of small businesses created as a result of participating in Boots to 
Business. Boots to Business will send an initial survey via email to 
all course participants immediately following course completion to gain 
insight on the quality of the program. Every 12 months following course 
completion, a follow up survey will be sent to all participants to 
measure participant outcomes as the SBA seeks to gauge the impact of 
course completion on the creation of veteran owned small businesses or 
the motivation and confidence of veterans to pursue business ownership. 
Participants will be surveyed once a year for 5 years following course 
completion to allow for business incubation.
    Solicitation of Public Comments: Comments may be submitted on (a) 
whether the collection of information is necessary for the agency to 
properly perform its functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are

technology; and (d) whether there are ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information.
