A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on Friday, November 4,

**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.

Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 20.

Estimated Annual Total Burden Hours: 20.
