DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: Minority Business 

Development Agency (MBDA). 

Title: National Minority Enterprise 

Development (MED) Week Awards 

Program Application Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: None (new 

collection). 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Number of Respondents: 100. 

Average Hours per Response: 2. 

Burden Hours: 200. 

Needs and Uses: One of MBDA’s 

largest initiatives is the annual National 

Minority Enterprise Development (MED) 

Week Conference. The conference 

recognizes the role that minority 

entrepreneurs play in building the 

American economy through the creation 

of jobs, products and services, in 

addition to supporting their local 

communities. It includes the private, 

non-profit, and government sectors and 

provides a venue to discuss critical 

business issues affecting minority 

business as well as strategies to foster 

the growth and competitiveness of the 

minority business community. The MED 

Week Awards Program is a key element 

in the conference as it celebrates the 

outstanding achievements of minority 

entrepreneurs. MBDA has created 

categories of awards including Minority 

Construction Firm of the Year, Minority 

Manufacturer of the Year, Minority 

Retail or Service Firm of the Year, 

Minority Technology Firm of the Year, 

Minority Supplier Distributor of the 

Year, Advocate of the Year, Media 

Award, Distinguished Supplier 

Diversity Award, Access to Capital 

Award, the Ronald H. Brown 

Leadership Award, and the Abe Venable 

Award for Lifetime Achievement. 

Nominations for these awards are to be 

open to the public. MBDA must collect 

two kinds of information: (a) 

Information identifying the nominee 

and nominator and (b) information 

explaining why the nominee should be 

given the award. The information will 

be used to determine those applicants 

best meeting the preannounced 

selection criteria. Use of a nomination 

form standardizes and limits the 

information collected as part of the 

nomination process. This makes the 

competition fair and eases any burden 

on applicants and reviewers alike. 

Participation in the competition is 

voluntary. The awards are strictly 

honorary. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, local, or tribal 

government; Federal government. 

Frequency: One-time only, on 

occasion, and annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
