Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2016 / Notices 6921 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In October 

2014, a new cohort of sites was added 

to the Regional Innovation Clusters 

(RIC) initiative, which was originally 

started in October 1, 2010 by the Small 

Business Administration (SBA)’s Office 

of Entrepreneurial Development. 

Through this initiative, organizations in 

11 communities across the U.S. have 

been selected to provide industryspecific assistance to small businesses, 

and to develop industry relationships 

and supply chains within their regions. 

Clusters—geographically concentrated 

groups of interconnected businesses, 

suppliers, service providers, and 

associated institutions in a particular 

industry or field—act as a networking 

hub to convene a number of resources 

to help navigate the funding, 

procurement, and supply-chain 

opportunities in a specific industry. 

SBA is conducting an evaluation of 

the Regional Innovation Clusters 

initiative to determine how the clusters 

have developed, the type and volume of 

services they provided to small 

businesses, client perceptions of the 

program, and the various outcomes 

related to their existence, including 

collaboration among firms, innovation, 

and small business growth. Small 

business growth will be compared to the 

overall growth of firms in those same 

regions and industries. This evaluation 

will also include lessons learned and 

success stories. SBA proposes the use of 

three instruments for data collection 

and analysis of three distinct 

populations. These instruments are: (1). 

Small Business Survey, (2.) Large 

Organization Survey and (3.) Cluster 

Administrator Survey. In addition, SBA 

plans to interview each of the 11 cluster 

administrators several times a year 

regarding program impact and successes 

or challenges, and to obtain 

clarifications on information provided 

in quarterly reports. Each of the 

proposed surveys will be administered 

electronically and will contain both 

open- and close-ended questions. The 

information collected and analyzed 

from these instruments will contribute 

to monitoring performance metrics and 

program goals, as well as 

recommendations on improving 

program practices.
