ACTION: Notice of request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The OSDBU invites the public

information collection. The collection 

involves the use of the SBTRC Regional 

Field Offices Intake Form (DOT F 4500) 

and the SBTRC Regional Field Offices 

Quarterly Report Form (DOT F 4502). 

On January 31, 2012, OSDBU published 

a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 

(Vol. 77, No. 20) (Formerly Docket 

Number DOT–OST–2008–0182), 

informing the public of OSDBU’s 

intention to extend an approved 

information collection. The collection 

involves the use of the Regional Field 

Offices Intake Form (DOT F 4500), 

which documents the type of assistance 

provided to each small business that is 

enrolled in the program database. The 

use of the Regional Field Office 

Quarterly Report Form (DOT F 4502) 

highlights activities such as counseling, 

marketing, meetings/conferences, and 

services to businesses as completed 

during the quarter. The Quarterly Report 

Form provides a more composite and 

comprehensive review of the Field 

Offices over a longer time frame. The 

information will be used to ascertain 

whether the program is providing 

services to its constituency, the small 

business community, and is done so in 

a fair and equitable manner. The 

information collected is necessary to 

determine whether small businesses are 

participating in DOT funded and DOT 

assisted opportunities.

Abstract: In accordance with Public 

Law 95–507, an amendment to the

OSDBU is responsible for the 

implementation and execution of DOT 

activities on behalf of small businesses, 

in accordance with Sections 8, 15 and 

31 of the Small Business Act (SBA), as 

amended. The Office of Small and 

Disadvantaged Business Utilization also 

administers the provisions of Title 49, of 

the United States Code, Section 332, the 

Minority Resource Center (MRC) which 

includes the duties of advocacy, 

outreach, and financial services on 

behalf of small and disadvantaged 

businesses and those certified under

counseling, outreach services/ 

conference participation, short-term 

loan and bond assistance. The 

cumulative data collected will be 

analyzed by the OSDBU to determine 

the effectiveness of services provided, 

including counseling, outreach, and 

financial services. Such data will also be 

analyzed by the OSDBU to determine 

agency effectiveness in assisting small

Form, (DOT F 4500) is used to enroll 

small business clients into the program

contracts and subcontracts, especially 

those projects that are transportation 

related. Each area on the fillable pdf 

form must be filled in electronically by 

the Field Offices and submitted every 

quarter to OSDBU. The Offices will 

retain a copy of each Intake Form for 

their records. The completion of the 

form is used as a tool for making 

decisions about the needs of the 

business, such as; referral to technical 

assistance agencies for help, identifying 

the type of profession or trade of the 

business, the type of certification that 

the business holds, length of time in 

business, and location of the firm. This 

data can assist the Field Offices in 

developing a business plan or adjusting 

their business plan to increase its ability 

to market its goods and services to 

buyers and potential users of their 

services.
