Abstract: 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.

Emergency Justfication: 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.
