Data Collection Available for Public
Comments
60-Day notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
The National Women’s
Business Council (NWBC or Council)
intends to request approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for the collection of information
described below. Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA),
federal agencies are required to publish
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information (including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information) and to allow
60 days for public comment on the
proposed action.
DATES: Comments must on or before July
25, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Send all comments to Annie
Rorem, Senior Research Manager,
National Women’s Business Council,
Small Business Administration, 409 3rd
Street, 5th Floor, Washington, DC
20416.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Annie Rorem, Senior Research Manager,
National Women’s Business Council,

or Curtis B. Rich, Management Analyst,
curtis.rich@sba.gov, 202–205–7030.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
NWBC is a non-partisan federal
advisory council created to serve as an
independent source of advice and
counsel to the President, Congress, and
the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) on economic issues of importance
to women business owners. The
E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM
26MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 101 / Friday, May 26, 2017 / Notices
Council’s mission is to promote
initiatives, policies, and programs
designed to support women’s business
enterprises at all stages of development
in the public and private sector
marketplaces—from start-up to success.
NWBC is charged with providing sound
policy advice related to its mission by
statutory authority 15 U.S.C. 7105 and
15 U.S.C. 7109a, with conducting ‘‘such
studies and other research relating to
the award of federal prime contracts and
subcontracts to women-owned
businesses, to access to credit and
investment capital by women
entrepreneurs, or to other issues relating
to women-owned businesses, as the
Council determines to be appropriate.’’
As part of its efforts, NWBC seeks to
complement data resources available
from the Census Bureau’s Survey of
Small Business Owners and SelfEmployed Persons (SBO). Although the
SBO is widely recognized as the most
comprehensive, regularly collected
source of information on selected
economic and demographic
characteristics for businesses and
business owners by gender, ethnicity,
race, and veteran status, the proposed
NWBC information collection will add
to the data collected, in terms of both
methodology and timeliness. A new
annual Web survey, which will collect
information across a representative
sample of business owners, including
both women and men, will enhance
information gathering on factors such as
challenges to business start-up and
growth, motivation, and economic
impacts related to women
entrepreneurship in the United States.
This survey will also provide a
comprehensive review of business
ownership, including business owners’
characteristics, types of businesses and
economic impact.
Solicitation of Public Comments.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding the burden
estimates or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
