Congress requires DoD to collect certain information from program participants in section 861, paragraph (b)(2), of Public Law 114–92. Thus, the need for this information collection is to comply with existing laws. DoD has incorporated these information collection requirements into the DFARS in section I–112 of Appendix I. Program participants agree to comply with these information collection requirements when they execute their mentor-protege agreements, receiving the program’s benefits in consideration. This information is necessary to ensure that participants are fulfilling their obligations under the mentorprotege agreements and furthering the purpose of the Mentor-Protege Program as required by section 18(d)(7) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(7). In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4902, DoD uses the information to decide whether to approve continuation of the agreement. In addition, the information is necessary for program managers to direct developmental assistance to the most appropriate small business concerns and to ensure the program meets the Congressionally-mandated goal of enhancing the defense industrial base.
