Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 187 / Friday, September 25, 2020 / Notices
II. Method of Collection
The collection of data occurs in
accordance with the rules established by
interagency agreements with the
participating state partners or data
sharing agreements that have been
established within the Census Bureau.
For state partners, their data is
submitted directly to the Census secure
servers where Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) goes through a process
to replace it with Protected
Identification Keys (PIK). This PVS
(Person Identification Validation
System) process also applies to all other
administrative data that are used in the
LEHD infrastructure. For all other
required administration data, they are
transferred or referenced by the LEHD
production system. Data collection and
processing also includes activities such
as validation of data quality.
LEHD’s data products are not
generated by a traditional survey.
Rather, all input data required is
collected electronically as follows:
• State Unemployment Insurance (UI)
and Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages (QCEW) are provided via
encrypted File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
through which each state LMI agency
sends these data directly to the Census
Bureau. This transfer of data is governed
by Memorandum of Understandings
(MOUs) with each state partner.
• Federal and Census Administrative
data are acquired from other directorates
or divisions within the Census Bureau
with which an internal agreement has
been established for the use of the data.
• Public Use data sets are acquired
from publicly available websites or
public File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
servers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The SBIR program was originally
established in 1982 by the Small
Business Innovation Development Act
(Pub. L. 97–219), codified at 15 U.S.C.
638. It was then expanded and extended
by the Small Business Research and
Development (R&D) Enhancement Act
of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–564) and received
subsequent reauthorization and
extensions that include Public Law 112–
81, extending SBIR through September
30, 2022. The US Small Business
Administration (SBA) serves as the
coordinating agency for the SBIR
program. It directs the agency
implementation of SBIR, reviews
progress, and reports annually to
Congress on its operation.
The NIST SBIR Cover Sheet is the first
page of each application that responds
to the annual NIST SBIR Federal
Funding Opportunity (FFO). The
information collected in the Cover Sheet
provides identifying information and
demographic data for use in NIST’s
annual report to the SBA on the
program.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected as
part of the application process and will
be submitted through grants.gov.
