OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Compliance Assistance Resources and Points of Contact Available
to Small Businesses
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the
President.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002 (44 U.S.C. 3520), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is
publishing a ``list of the compliance assistance resources available to
small businesses'' and a list of the points of contacts in agencies
``to act as a liaison between the agency and small business concerns''
with respect to the collection of information and the control of
paperwork. This information is posted on the following Web site: http://www.business.gov/business-law/contacts/federal/
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Liberante, Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, E-mail:
[email protected], Telephone: (202) 395-3647. Inquiries may be
submitted by facsimile to (202) 395-5167.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107-198) requires OMB to ``publish in the Federal
Register and make available on the Internet (in consultation with the
Small Business Administration) on an annual basis a list of the
compliance assistance resources available to small businesses'' (44
U.S.C. 3504(c)(6)). OMB has, with the active assistance and support of
the Small Business Administration (SBA) and Business.gov, assembled a
list of the compliance assistance resources available to small
businesses. This list is available today on the following Web site:
http://www.business.gov/business-law/contacts/federal/. There is also a
link to this information on the OMB Web site.
In addition, under another provision of this Act, ``each agency
shall, with respect to the collection of information and the control of
paperwork, establish 1 point of contact in the agency to act as a
liaison between the agency and small business concerns'' (44 U.S.C.
3506(i)(1)). These contacts are also available at http://www.business.gov/business-law/contacts/federal/.
OMB and SBA have chosen to implement this statutory responsibility
by publishing agency compliance contact information on Business.gov Web
site. Business.gov delivers compliance information to the public more
effectively than having businesses go to individual agency Web sites,
thereby improving the probability of success for business owners and
agency regulatory programs. The public is not only able to find agency
points of contact for compliance under the ``contacts and help'' tab on
Business.gov, but when users look for information in the ``small
business guides'' on particular topics, the relevant agency points of
contact automatically appear as part of the guide.
Cass Sunstein,
Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
