Canada, Chile, Finland, France, 

Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, 

Korea (South), Luxembourg, the 

Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, 

Sweden, Switzerland and the United 

Kingdom. Agreements of this type are 

authorized by section 233 of the Social 

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 433). 

Like the other agreements, the U.S.- 

Danish agreement eliminates dual social 

security coverage—the situation that 

exists when a worker from one country 

works in the other country and is 

covered under the social security 

systems of both countries for the same 

work. Without such agreements in force, 

when dual coverage occurs, the worker, 

the worker’s employer, or both may be 

required to pay social security 

contributions to the two countries 

simultaneously. Under the U.S.-Danish 

agreement, a worker who is sent by an 

employer in the U.S. to work in 

Denmark for 5 years or less remains 

covered only by the U.S. social security 

program. Similarly, a worker who is 

sent by an employer in Denmark to 

work in the U.S. for 3 years or less 

remains covered only by the Danish 

social security program. The agreement 

includes additional rules that eliminate 

dual U.S. and Danish coverage in other 

work situations. 

The agreement also helps eliminate 

situations where workers suffer a loss of 

benefit rights because they have divided 

their careers between the two countries. 

Under the agreement, workers may 

qualify for partial U.S. benefits or partial 

Danish benefits based on combined 

(totalized) work credits from both 

countries. 

Individuals who wish to obtain copies 

of the agreement or want more 

information about its provisions may 

write to the Social Security 

Administration, Office of International 

Programs, Post Office Box 17741, 

Baltimore, MD 21235–7741 or visit the

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2008–0182] 

Office of Small and Disadvantaged 

Business Utilization (OSDBU); 

Regional Small Business 

Transportation Resource Centers 

(SBTRCs); Notice of Request for 

Comments on Renewal of Information 

Collection: Regional Center Intake 

Form (DOT F 4500) and Regional 

Resource Center Monthly Report Form 

(DOT F 4502) (Formerly, Counseling 

Information Form; Regional Center 

Intake Form and Monthly Report of 

Operations Form) 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Small and 

Disadvantaged Business Utilization 

(OSDBU) invites the public to comment 

about our intention to request the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval to renew information 

collection forms, associated with 

OSDBU. 

We are required to publish this notice 

in the Federal Register by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. On 

June 26, 2008, OSDBU published a 60- 

day notice in the Federal Register (73 

FR 36368), Docket #OST–2008–0182, 

informing the public of OSDBU’s 

intention to extend this previously 

approved information collection. 

The collection involves the use of the 

Regional Center Intake Form (DOT F 

4500), which documents the type of 

assistance provided to each small 

business that is enrolled in the program. 

The use of the Regional Resource 

Center Monthly Report Form (DOT F 

4502) will highlight activities, such as 

counseling, marketing, meetings/ 

conferences, and services to businesses 

as completed during the month. The 

information will be used to ascertain 

whether the program is providing 

services to its constituency, the small 

business community, 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 with the DOT. 

The Counseling Information Form 

(DOT F 4640.1) has been eliminated and 

the information contained in that form 

is now consolidated into the Regional 

Resource Center Monthly Report Form 

(formerly titled Monthly Report of 

Operations Form) in effort to eliminate 

duplication and to streamline the data 

collection process. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by: October 27, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

to the attention of the DOT/OST Desk 

Officer, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Docket 

library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20503, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Regional Center Intake Form 

(DOT F 4500) and Regional Resource 

Center Monthly Report Form (DOT F 

4502) (Formerly, Counseling 

Information Form; Regional Center 

Intake Form and Monthly Report of 

Operations Form). 

OMB Control No: 2105–0554. 

Affected Public: Representatives of 

DOT Regional Small Business 

Transportation Resource Centers and 

the Small Businesses community on a 

national basis. 

Type of Request: Renewal of 

information collection. 

Abstract: In accordance with Public 

Law 95–507, an amendment to the 

Small Business Act and the Small 

Business Investment Act of 1953, 

OSDBU is responsible for the 

implementation and execution of the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

activities on behalf of small businesses, 

in accordance with Section 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 

CFR 49 Parts 23 and or 26 as 

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises 

(DBE). 

The Small Business Transportation 

Resource Regional Centers (SBTRCs) 

will collect information on small 

businesses, which includes 

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

(DBE), Women-Owned Small Businesses 

(WOB), Small Disadvantaged Businesses 

(SDB), 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran 

Owned Businesses (SDVOB), Veteran 

Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), 

HubZone, and types of services they 

seek from the SBTRCs. Services and 

responsibilities of the SBTRCs include 

business analysis, general management 

and technical assistance and training, 

business counseling, outreach services/ 

conference participation, and short-term 

loan 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 

businesses to enhance their 

opportunities to participate in 

government contracts and subcontracts. 

The Regional Center Intake Form 

(DOT F 4500) is used by the Regional 

SBTRC staff to enroll small business 

clients into the program in order to 

create a viable database of firms that can 

participate in government contracts and 

subcontracts, especially those projects 

that are transportation related. In 

addition, each enrolled small business 

will be assigned a client number that 

can track the firm’s involvement in the 

services offered by the SBTRCs. Each 

area on the form must be filled in 

electronically by the SBTRCs and 

retained in secured files of the client. 

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. 

The SBTRCs must complete an Intake 

Form and retain copies in secured files 

in their offices. A limited amount of 

privacy information is requested on this 

form. We have included a Privacy Act 

Notice on the forms, informing 

individuals who are asked to supply 

information on the form that Public Law 

95–507 and provisions of Title 49, of the 

U.S. Code, Section 332, the Minority 

Resource Center authorizes solicitation 

of the information; that provision of the 

information is voluntary; that the 

principal purpose for which the
