**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1966, 15 U.S.C. 657(b)(2)(B), requires the SBA National Ombudsman to establish a means for SBA to receive comments on regulatory and compliance actions from small entities regarding their disagreements with a Federal Agency action. The Ombudsman uses it to obtain the agency's response, encourages a fresh look by the agency at a high level, and build a smaller business-friendly regulatory environment. The form has been updated to include several key enhancements aimed at improving clarity and user protection. Instructions have been modified for ease of use and to guide small business entities through the completion process. A non-retaliation policy has been incorporated to reinforce SBREFA protections for small business entities who choose to submit a comment and to emphasize the Office of the National Ombudsman's commitment to a safe and supportive environment. Additionally, the confidentiality clause has been revised to provide clear language and reflect the appropriate statutes governing confidentiality.

SBA is requesting comments on (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (c) whether there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information.
