Entrepreneurial Development Management Information (EDMIS) is used to collect and transmit the data provided on SBA Form 641. EDMIS collects information using a uniform method in order to provide appropriate counseling and training to report to Congress and the President on these programs. Respondents are small business owners and potential small business owners throughout the United States. SBA Staff and resource partners also use these forms. Changes made to SBA Form 641 are necessary to comply with data requirements specified in the Small Business Jobs Act 2010 related to international trade assistance. No changes are being made to the Form 888.
The Small Business Jobs Act 2010 specifically requires the Small Business Administration Office of International Trade to submit annual reports to Congress. The first report will be submitted during the first quarter of FY2012, covering the performance period of FY2011.
The Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED) needs to quickly deploy this updated form to its national network in order to have data available for this first annual report.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
