The Office of
Management and Budget and the Small Business Administration
received several hundred comments on the proposed changes to the
information collection, “Entrepreneurial Development Management
Information System (EDMIS) Counseling Information Form &
Management Training Report” (OMB # 3245-0324). In an effort to give
time for the proper review and consideration of these comments, the
proposed new collection has been withdrawn. The existing collection
will remain active and in-use at this time. Once SBA has considered
the comments, OMB has requested that they publish a subsequent
Federal Register notice to provide a summary of the comments
received, and how the comments changed/didn’t change the new
collection.
