The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to add a new system of records entitled Small Business Investment Company Information System (SBA # 40) to its inventory of records systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Publication of this notice complies with the Privacy Act and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108 requirement for agencies to publish a notice in the Federal Register whenever the agency establishes a new system of records. The SBA is in the process of modernizing its technology supporting the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program to further enhance the SBA's regulatory oversight and risk management of the SBIC program using modern private equity and alternative investment analytics and tools. The technology includes a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool, an investment and risk management tool, an information portal, and a data warehouse with associated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Some records may be maintained electronically and in paper format for desktop access or if required for legal purposes.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
