Office of the Secretary January 20, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Office of the Secretary, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU), invites public comments regarding the Department of Transportation's intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. On November 19, 2009, OSDBU published a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period, (74 FR 60012) Docket DOT-OST-2009-0294. The collection is in regards to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Bonding Assistance Reimbursable Fee Program (DBE ARRA BAP) application form. The notice was to inform the public of OSDBU's intention to extend the approved information collection. The continuation of the collection is necessary to determine the applicant's eligibility to approve or deny a bond fee reimbursement. As of January 12, 2010, OSDBU has not received any comments in response to the 60-day notice. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.50, the Department of Defense gives notice that it is renewing the charter for the Defense Business Board (hereafter referred to as the Board).
