The Small
Business Administration should improve their monitoring of expiring
information collections to avoid unnecessary reinstatement request
and violation of the PRA. This collection should be reported as a
violation in OMB's annual Information Collection Budget (ICB). SBA
should also work with OMB and an interagency team to examine
opportunities to streamline or standardize this information
collection.
