SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: U.S. Department of 

Transportation Mentor-Prote ́ge ́ Pilot 

Program Evaluation Form; and U.S. 

Department of Transportation Mentor 

Prote ́ge ́ Pilot Program Annual Report. 

Abstract: DOT will use the data 

captured in the Mentor-Prote ́ge ́ Pilot 

Program Evaluation Form to measure 

program achievement to determine 

whether the intention of the program to 

assist small businesses to compete and 

perform in DOT and federal 

procurement programs is achieved. DOT 

will use this data to determine whether 

program changes are required to 

increase participation of small 

businesses in DOT procurement 

programs. 

Additionally, DOT will use the data 

captured in the Mentor Prote ́ge ́ Pilot 

Program Annual Report to measure 

prote ́ge ́ progress against the 

developmental plan contained in their 

Mentor Prote ́ge ́ agreement and to report 

the specific actions taken by the mentor 

to increase the participation of the 

prote ́ge ́ as a prime or subcontractor to 

DOT. 

A Federal Register Notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting 

comments on the information collection 

was published on Friday, November 4, 

2011. Only one (1) anonymous comment 

was received stating that more concrete 

language is needed to specify the 

prote ́ge ́’s ability to withdraw from the 

program voluntarily. Additionally, there 

does not appear to be any language 

stating whether a mentor can receive 

reimbursement for MP program costs; 

whether it is direct, or through credit 

against subcontracting goals. It appears 

that should be added as well. 

Procedures for the Mentor or the 

Prote ́ge ́ to withdraw from the program 

voluntarily will be established by both 

parties in the Mentor-Prote ́ge ́

Agreement. The Mentor or the Prote ́ge ́

should provide written notice to 

OSDBU at least 30 days before 

withdrawing from the program. 

As for the reimbursement part, the 

Program Office has determined there 

will be no incentives, such as 

reimbursements or credits toward 

subcontracting goals. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Request for collection of a new 

information collection. 

Affected Public: Prime contractors 

and small businesses participating in 

DOT’s Mentor Prote ́ge ́ Pilot Program. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: Approximately 20.
