The SMWOB Report will be used to
collect data from Financial Agents, under the "Financial Agent
Authority" contracts awarded under the TARP. This form will be the
mechanism used to monitor Financial Agents negotiated targets for
small, minority and women-owned businesses.
Authorized under the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law
110-343), the Department of Treasury is implementing several
aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The TARP
includes several components including Small, Minority, and
Women-Owned Business participation (SMWOB) under which the
Department will require the Financial Agents to submit SMWOB
reports, as it relates to their contract award achievements. During
the week of October 29, 2008, the Department of the Treasury
awarded its first contract to a Financial Agent and the Agent is
required to begin immediate reporting; therefore an emergency is
requested. This form will allow Treasury to capture data that is
not available from any of the current federal government reporting
systems.
