This collection is required to monitor, evaluate, and plan Agency programs (Performance); to assist minority business enterprises with marketing goods and services (Phoenix); and to refer listed minority companies contracts and other business opportunities to match with Minority Business Enterprises in the Phoenix Database (Opportunity).
Program Change Increase:
In Fiscal Year 2011 MBDA developed and implemented a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM)/Performance Database to reflect the requirements of the redesigned MBDA Business Center program. The streamlining of certain administrative and reporting requirements for the new program are reflected in the system, and resulted in a decrease in the overall estimate of burden hours for users under the new program structure.
Adjustment Decrease:
Decrease in number of respondents from previous submission, and relative burden hours.
