**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
SBA is proposing a new information collection to set forth certain additional compliance and reporting guidelines applicable to Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) licensed under the SBIC Critical Technologies (SBICCTs) Initiative, which is a joint effort by SBA and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) under a Memorandum of Agreement dated June 4, 2025, as amended and restated from time to time. Under the SBICCT Initiative, an SBICCT will be required to enter into a contractual agreement with the agencies (SBICCT Compliance Agreement) under which an SBICCT will also be required to report additional information to ensure it will attract and scale private capital investment into small businesses involved in the development of technologies, components, and production processes critical to the U.S. national and economic security and refrain from deploying capital in a manner inconsistent with public benefit. Under the SBICCT Compliance Agreement, SBICCTs will be required to report: (1) Foreign Ownership, Control, and/or Influence (FOCI) Risk Assessments on SBA Form 1030, “SBIC Critical Technologies Risk Assessment Supplemental Information”; and (2) certain additional information regarding investment activities on SBA Form 1032, “SBIC Critical Technologies Supplemental Questionnaire”. Both forms will be required within 45 calendar days following the end of each fiscal quarter (quarterly) and within 90 calendar days following the end of each fiscal year (annually).
