Description of the SBDC Program
A partnership exists between SBA
and an SBDC. SBDCs offer training,
counseling and other business
development assistance to small
businesses. Each SBDC provides
services under a negotiated Cooperative
Agreement with SBA, the general
management and oversight of SBA, and
a state plan initially approved by the
Governor. Non-Federal funds must
match Federal funds. An SBDC must
operate according to law, the
Cooperative Agreement, SBA’s
regulations, the annual Program
Announcement, and program guidance.

Program Objectives
SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
The SBDC program uses Federal
funds to leverage the resources of states,
academic institutions and the private
sector to:
(a) Strengthen the small business
community;
(b) increase economic growth;
(c) assist more small businesses; and
(d) broaden the delivery system to
more small businesses.
SBDC Program Organization
The lead SBDC operates a statewide
or regional network of SBDC service
centers. An SBDC must have a full-time
Director. SBDCs must use at least 80
percent of the Federal funds to provide
services to small businesses. SBDCs use
volunteers and other low cost resources
as much as possible.
SBDC Services
An SBDC must have a full range of
business development and technical
assistance services in its area of
operations, depending upon local needs,
SBA priorities and SBDC program
objectives. Services include training and
counseling to existing and prospective
small business owners in management,
marketing, finance, operations,
planning, taxes, and any other general
or technical area of assistance that
supports small business growth.
The SBA district office and the SBDC
must agree upon the specific mix of
services. They should give particular
attention to SBA’s priority and special
emphasis groups, including veterans,
women, exporters, the disabled, and
minorities.
SBDC Program Requirements
An SBDC must meet programmatic
and financial requirements imposed by
statute, regulations or its Cooperative
Agreement. The SBDC must:
(a) Locate service centers so that they
are as accessible as possible to small
businesses;
(b) open all service centers at least 40
hours per week, or during the normal
business hours of its state or academic
Host Organization, throughout the year;
(c) develop working relationships
with financial institutions, the
investment community, professional
associations, private consultants and
small business groups; and
(d) maintain lists of private
consultants at each service center.
Dated: April 23, 2007.

Development Centers.

quality, utility, and clarity; and on ways
to minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Written
comments and recommendations
regarding the information collection(s)
should be submitted to the OMB Desk
Officer and the SSA Reports Clearance
Officer. The information can be mailed,
faxed or e-mailed to the individuals at

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 85 / Thursday, May 3, 2007 / Notices

Accelerated Benefits Demonstration
Project—0960–NEW. The Accelerated
Benefits Demonstration Project is a
multi-phase study designed to assess
whether providing new SSDI
beneficiaries with health benefits and
employment supports will stabilize or
improve their health and help them
return to work early. In this long-term
study, new SSDI disability recipients
(i.e., those who have just begun
receiving benefits and who have at least
18 months remaining before they qualify
for Medicare) will be divided into three
groups: (1) A control group that will just
receive their regular SSDI benefits; (2) a
treatment group that will receive
immediate access to health care
benefits; and (3) a treatment group that
will receive health care benefits and
additional care management,
employment, and benefits services and
support. The study, which will be
conducted for SSA by research
contractors and health care experts, will
assess whether health benefits alone or
health benefits with additional support
services improve the health and
employment outcomes of new SSDI
beneficiaries. The respondents are
beneficiaries who have just begun
receiving SSDI disability benefits and
are not yet eligible for Medicare health
benefits.
Type of Request: New information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law
(Pub. L.) 100–503) amended the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the
manner in which computer matching
involving Federal agencies could be
performed and adding certain
protections for individuals applying for,
and receiving, Federal benefits. Section
7201 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protections for such
individuals.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records in a
system of records are matched with
other Federal, State, or local government
records. It requires Federal agencies
involved in computer matching
programs to:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with
the other agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the Data Integrity Boards’
approval of the match agreements;
(3) Publish notice of the computer
matching program in the Federal
Register;
