This
questionnaire is approved for use through August 31, 1994, to
enable SBA to examine whether using a single form and sampling
method- ology would improve the evaluation of its counseling and
training pro- grams. (Currently, the agency uses four such forms
approved under four separate OMB control numbers.) Following this
assessment, SBA should prepare a single clearance request covering
the remaining form forms or seek a generic clearance under the
recent OMB guidance for customer surveys.
