The Commission invites comment on the System. Information is collected in the System via web-based, e-filed, dynamic form-based technology.

    Supplier Diversity Business Management System, SEC File No. 270-
663, OMB Control No. 3235-0724

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to 
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') for approval.
    The Commission is required under Section 342 of the Dodd Frank Wall 
Street and Reform Act to develop standards and processes for ensuring 
the fair inclusion of women-owned and minority-owned businesses in all 
of the Commission's business activities. To help implement this 
requirement, the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) 
developed and maintains an electronic Supplier Diversity Business 
Management System (the System) to collect up-to-date business 
information and capabilities statements from diverse suppliers 
interested in doing business with the Commission. This information 
allows the Commission to update and more effectively manage its current 
internal repository. It also allows the Commission to measure the 
effectiveness of its technical assistance and outreach efforts, and 
target areas where additional program efforts are necessary.
    The Commission invites comment on the System. Information is 
collected in the System via web-based, e-filed, dynamic form-based 
technology. The company point of contact completes a profile consisting 
of basic contact data and information on the capabilities of the 
business. The profile includes a series of questions, some of which are 
based on the data that the individual enters. Drop-down lists are 
included where appropriate to increase ease of use.
    The information collection is voluntary. There are no costs 
associated with this collection. The public interface to the System is 
available via a web-link provided by the agency.
    Estimated number of annual responses = 300.
    Estimated annual reporting burden = 150 hours (30 minutes per 
submission).
    Since the last approval of this information collection, we have 
adjusted the estimated number of respondents from 500 to 300 
respondents per year, based on the actual response rate for the past 
two years and anticipated increase in that response rate with the 
posting of a link to the System on our web page to allow self-
registration. This reduction in the number of respondents has resulted 
in a 100-hour reduction in the total burden estimate.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will 
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 
days of this publication. Please direct your written comments to Pamela 
Dyson, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
