Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2016 / Notices
In October
2014, a new cohort of sites was added
to the Regional Innovation Clusters
(RIC) initiative, which was originally
started in October 1, 2010 by the Small
Business Administration (SBA)’s Office
of Entrepreneurial Development.
Through this initiative, organizations in
11 communities across the U.S. have
been selected to provide industryspecific assistance to small businesses,
and to develop industry relationships
and supply chains within their regions.
Clusters—geographically concentrated
groups of interconnected businesses,
suppliers, service providers, and
associated institutions in a particular
industry or field—act as a networking
hub to convene a number of resources
to help navigate the funding,
procurement, and supply-chain
opportunities in a specific industry.
SBA is conducting an evaluation of
the Regional Innovation Clusters
initiative to determine how the clusters
have developed, the type and volume of
services they provided to small
businesses, client perceptions of the
program, and the various outcomes
related to their existence, including
collaboration among firms, innovation,
and small business growth. Small
business growth will be compared to the
overall growth of firms in those same
regions and industries. This evaluation
will also include lessons learned and
success stories. SBA proposes the use of
three instruments for data collection
and analysis of three distinct
populations. These instruments are: (1).
Small Business Survey, (2.) Large
Organization Survey and (3.) Cluster
Administrator Survey. In addition, SBA
plans to interview each of the 11 cluster
administrators several times a year
regarding program impact and successes
or challenges, and to obtain
clarifications on information provided
in quarterly reports. Each of the
proposed surveys will be administered
electronically and will contain both
open- and close-ended questions. The
information collected and analyzed
from these instruments will contribute
to monitoring performance metrics and
program goals, as well as
recommendations on improving
program practices.

applications delivered in bulk to
passport agencies in a designated dropoff box. Passport agencies use the form
to track the submission of applications
that a courier drops off. The form serves

Department effort to facilitate the

private courier companies while
maintaining the integrity of the passport
application process.
Methodology: This form is used to
track the processing of passport
applications delivered in bulk to
passport agencies by private courier
companies. Courier employees are asked
to attach the form onto sealed envelopes
or packages containing passport
applications which they deliver in bulk
to designated drop-off facilities at one of
twelve passport agencies for processing.
