Protege Program (the ‘‘Program’’).
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.
DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela
Duncan. Requests for copies of the
information collection proposal should
be sent to Ms. Duncan at whs.mcalex.esd.mbx.dd-dod-informationcollections@mail.mil.
