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). Prior to re-submitting these collection instruments for renewal in three-years, the Small Business Administration should review the collections and consider possible ways to reduce burdens.
