(PRA) requires Federal agencies to

concerning each proposed collection of 

information before submission to OMB, 

and to allow 60 days for public 

comment in response to the notice. This 

notice complies with that requirement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

5004 of the American Rescue Plan Act 

of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2) authorized SBA 

to establish a Community Navigator 

Pilot Program. Under this authority, 

SBA will make grants to private 

nonprofit organizations, resource 

partners, States, Tribes and units of 

local government to ensure the delivery 

of free community navigator services to 

current or prospective owners of small 

businesses in order to improve access to 

COVID-related assistance programs and 

resources. 

To facilitate expeditious 

implementation of the program, SBA 

obtained emergency approval from 

OMB, including waiver of the public 

comment notice required by 5 CFR 

1320.8(d). That authority expires on 

December 31, 2021. SBA is publishing 

this notice as a prerequisite to obtaining 

an extension of the approval period of 

the information collection, which 

consists of application requirements for 

the program, SBA Form 3516, 

Community Navigators Pilot Program 

Client and Program Information Form, 

and quarterly reporting requirements. 

Information collected from applicants 

to the Community Navigator Program 

will be used to determine applicant’s 

eligibility for an award. At this time the 

application period is no longer open; 

however, SBA is extending this 

requirement in the event an additional 

funding opportunity becomes available. 

Form 3516 will collect data on the 

clients served by the awardees of the 

Community Navigator Pilot Program, 

which will be used to track grantee 

performance and help to evaluate 

program success. The grantees’ quarterly 

performance reports will help SBA to 

assess program activity and the extent to 

which grantees are achieving desired 

program results and appropriately 

utilizing grant funds in support of the 

Community Navigator Program. 

Solicitation of Public Comments 

SBA is requesting comments on (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to properly 

perform its functions; (b) whether the 

burden estimates are accurate; (c) 

whether there are ways to minimize the 

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.
