planning. The 2016 ASE also includes
additional questions on business
financing relationships, owner
demographics, and regulations. The new
content developed for 2016 is
intermingled with the existing content.
The module selected for the 2014 ASE
focused on business innovation and
research and development (R&D)
activity. The goal of the 2014 module
was to identify new forms of innovation,
identify characteristics of businesses
that are innovators, and measure R&D
activity conducted by entrepreneurs.
The module selected for the 2015 ASE
focused on business management
practices. The goal of the 2015 module
was to measure how management
practices impact productivity and
growth.
The ASE collection is electronic only.
Those selected for the survey receive an
initial letter informing the respondents
of their requirement to complete the
survey as well as instructions on
accessing the survey. The 2016 ASE
initial mail is scheduled for June 2017.
Responses will be due approximately 40
days from initial mail. Select
respondents will receive a due date
reminder approximately one week
before responses are due.
Additionally, there will be two
follow-up letter mailings to
nonrespondents after the due date.
Select nonrespondents will receive a
certified mailing for the second followup if needed. Closeout of mail
operations is scheduled for November
2017. Upon the close of the collection
period, the response data will be
processed, edited, reviewed, tabulated,
and released publicly.
The survey will collect data on the
gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran
status for up to four persons owning the
majority of rights, equity, or interest in
the business. These data are needed to
evaluate the extent and growth of
business ownership by women,
minorities, and veterans in order to
provide a framework for assessing and
directing federal, state, and local
government programs designed to
promote the activities of disadvantaged
groups.
This data is widely used by private
firms and individuals to evaluate their
own businesses and markets.
Additionally, the data will be used by
entrepreneurs to write business plans
and loan application letters, by the
media for news stories, by researchers
and academia for determining firm
characteristics, and by the legal
profession in evaluating the
concentration of minority businesses in
particular industries and/or geographic
areas. The ASE statistics are used by

Development Agency (MBDA) to assess

directing and assessing programs that

• The National Women’s Business
Council to assess the state of women’s
business ownership for policymakers,
researchers, and the public at large.
• Consultants and researchers to
analyze long-term economic and
demographic shifts, and differences in
ownership and performance among
geographic areas.
• Individual business owners to

to similar firms, compute their market
share, and assess their growth and
future prospects.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration.
Title: NTIA/FCC Web-based
Frequency Coordination System.
OMB Control Number: 0660–0018.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 4000.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 1000.
Needs and Uses: NTIA hosts a Webbased system that collects specific
identification information (e.g.,
company name, location and projected
range of the operation, etc.) from
applicants seeking to operate in existing
and planned radio frequency (RF) bands
that are shared on a co-primary basis by
federal and non-federal users. The Webbased system provides a means for nonfederal applicants to rapidly determine
the availability of RF spectrum in a
specific location, or a need for detailed
frequency coordination of a specific
newly proposed assignment within the
shared portions of the radio spectrum.
The system helps expedite the
coordination process for non-federal
applicants while assuring protection of
government data relating to national
security.
Affected Public: Applicants seeking to
operate in the 71–76 GHz, 81–86 GHz,
and 92–95 GHz radio frequency bands.
Frequency: Once per applicant.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
