SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DHS
invites the general public to comment
on the new information collection
forms, as described below.
Interested parties can obtain copies of
the Forms Package by calling or writing
the point of contact listed above.
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) program
established under the Small Business
Innovation Development Act of 1982
(Pub. L. 97–219) is responsible for
collecting information used by the DHS
SBIR/Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Program Office to: 1.
Identify members of the public who
qualify for, and are interested in
participating in, the DHS SBIR/STTR
Program; 2. Facilitate SBIR/STTR
outreach to the public; 3. Provide the
DHS SBIR/STTR Program Office
necessary and sufficient information to
determine that proposals submitted by
the public to the DHS SBIR/STTR
Program meet criteria for consideration
under the program.
Please note that the Forms Package
includes nine forms for collecting
proposal information from small
businesses. As explained herein, these
separate forms are intended to reduce
burden and improve records
management by (1) allowing offerors to
submit identifying information only
once and then to reference that
previously submitted identifying
information in the submittal of
proposals, (2) eliminating the cost and
delay associated with the submission of
proposals via non-electronic means, (3)
facilitating timely review of proposals,
and (4) improving the accuracy of
records management for proposals. The
Department is committed to improving
its SBIR processes and urges all
interested parties to suggest how these
materials can further reduce burden
while seeking necessary information
under the Act.
DHS is particularly interested in
comments that:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Suggest ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Suggest ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
