considered the proposed rule’s impact on

filing. The proposed change modifies 

the Exchange’s rules to correct citations 

to Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS and 

make a grammatical correction, which 

should help prevent confusion and add 

clarity to the Exchange’s rules. For these 

reasons, and because the proposal raises 

no novel legal or regulatory issues, the 

Commission believes that waiver of the 

30-day operative delay is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. Accordingly, the 

Commission hereby waives the 30-day 

operative delay and designates the 

proposed rule change operative upon 

filing.11

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. If the 

Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

change should be approved or 

disapproved.

BILLING CODE 8011–01–P 

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Data Collection Available for Public 

Comments 

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Small Business 

Administration (SBA) plans to seek 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) to conduct the data 

collection activities described below. 

The Paperwork Reduction Act requires 

federal agencies to publish a notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB, and to allow 60 days for the 

public to comment in response to the 

notice. This notice complies with such 

requirements and announces the SBA’s 

proposal to conduct a survey of cluster 

administrators, small businesses, and 

partner organizations including 

Entrepreneurial Support Organizations 

(ESO) who participated in the SBA’s 

Regional Innovation Cluster (RIC) 

Initiative. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

April 7, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Send all comments to 

Alison Evans, Office of Investment and 

Innovation, 409 3rd Street SW, Suite 

6300, Washington DC 20416, with the 

subject line: ‘‘Regional Innovation 

Cluster Program Evaluation’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alison Evans, Office of Investment and 

Innovation (Alison.Evans@sba.gov), or 

Curtis B. Rich, Management Analyst, 

202–205–7030, curtis.rich@sba.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

request for the extension with changes 

to a currently approved collection 

(previous OMB number: 3245–0392). 

Through the RIC Initiative, the SBA is 

investing in regional clusters— 

geographic concentrations of 

interconnected companies, specialized 

suppliers, academic institutions, service 

providers, and associated organizations 

with a specific industry focus— 

throughout the United States that span 

a variety of industries. The three 

primary goals of the initiative are to (1) 

increase opportunities for small 

business participation within clusters, 

(2) promote innovation in the industries 

on which the clusters are focused, and 

(3) enhance economic development and 

growth in cluster regions. To achieve 

these goals, the clusters provide a host 

of services to the target population of 

small and emerging businesses within 

their regional and industry focuses. 

Services include direct business 

advising and support and sponsoring 

events, such as networking 

opportunities with investors, partner 

organizations, ESOs, and other 

stakeholders in the regions. This 

information collection is necessary for 

the SBA to understand the progress of 

the RIC Initiative towards achieving its 

goals. 

The evaluation consists of two key 

components: an implementation 

evaluation and an outcome evaluation. 

The implementation evaluation focuses 

on how the Initiative is implemented 

across the fourteen clusters and on the 

services that each cluster provides to its 

small businesses. The outcome 

evaluation focuses on short and 

intermediate-term outcomes linked 

directly to the cluster services, as well 

as on long-term business outcomes that 

can be reasonably expected to result 

from the short- and intermediate-term 

outcomes. The short-term outcomes 

include the satisfaction and the 

perceived effectiveness of the program 

for business management and growth. 

The intermediate-term outcomes 

include development of new products, 

commercialization of new technologies,

9282 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2024 / Notices 

marketing and export services, 

improved access to capital, and industry 

integration. Long-term outcomes 

include increased revenue and 

employment. Over the previous years, 

evaluation results have helped to track 

the program performance outcomes and 

provide suggestions for program 

improvements to better facilitate 

innovation and small business growth. 

Furthermore, the evaluation survey data 

helped the SBA to better focus cluster 

activities on local contexts, particularly 

for rural and agricultural small 

businesses. This data will not be used 

to evaluate the effectiveness of an 

individual cluster. 

The data collection effort involves 

three types of RIC Initiative 

stakeholders: small businesses, partner 

organizations, and cluster 

administrators. Small businesses 

participating in the cluster will be sent 

an online survey to provide data about 

their cluster participation experiences, 

satisfaction with the program and its 

components, the performance of their 

firms with respect to a variety of 

outcomes, and the role of cluster 

participation in the achievement of 

these outcomes. Similarly, partner 

organizations will be asked to complete 

an online survey to provide data about 

their experiences with the RIC Initiative. 

The questions include reasons for the 

RIC participation, collaboration with 

and support for small businesses, and 

the role of cluster participation on key 

organizational outcomes associated with 

the RIC Initiative participation. Small 

businesses and partner organizations 

will also be interviewed once a year to 

obtain information on barriers, 

facilitators, and other local influences 

on cluster and ecosystem engagement, 

best practices to facilitate innovation, 

and suggestions for potential cluster 

improvements (among other topics). The 

cluster administrators will be asked to 

provide participant rosters, which 

provide the framework for the surveys 

that the small businesses and partner 

organizations are sent. The 

administrator survey requests 

information about the services they 

provided to these two groups of 

stakeholders, and their operations in 

general. Cluster administrators will also 

be interviewed once a year to obtain 

information about how their operations 

have evolved, the adjustments they 

made, best practices, issues 

encountered, and the lessons learned.

burden, including through the use of 

automated techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) whether 

there are ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information 

collected. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval of this 

information collection; they also will 

become a matter of public record.
