The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection described below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
You may obtain a copy of the information collection and supporting documents from the Agency Clearance Office at Shauniece.Carter@sba.gov; (202) 205-6536, or from www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The SBA and other Federal agencies offer financial assistance and special contracting opportunities for business concerns that are small according to size standards found at 13 CFR 121.201. This form provides information about the business being reviewed to determine whether it is eligible for small business programs. The form also collects information to allow SBA to determine whether the business seeking assistance has one or more affiliates, based on the affiliation rules in 13 CFR 121.103 (contracting and development programs) and 121.301 (financial assistance).
Section 8(b)(6) of the Small Business Act authorizes SBA to determine status as a "small business concern" for a business seeking assistance under the Act, and 13 CFR 121.1008(c) authorizes SBA to collect information about the business subject to a review. SBA conducts formal size determinations when there is a size protest against an apparent awardee of a Federal solicitation that has been fully or partially restricted to small businesses. See 13 CFR 121.1001 et seq. The size determination is conducted by the responsible SBA Government Contracting Area Office. As part of the process of the size determination, the Area Office collects information about the protested firm using SBA Form 355, Information for Small Business Size Determination. SBA Form 355 is electronically fillable and is reviewed by Size Specialists at the various Area Offices. If the information in SBA Form 355 is not collected, then it is not possible for the Area Office to conduct the formal size determination as required under 13 CFR 121.1009. Failing to collect the information described above would impede SBA's ability to complete size determinations for the socioeconomic programs.
This PRA submission is a renewal information collection for SBA Form 355.
