The Office of Minority Businesses Services Act of 2002 (Title 42, Section 5661 of the United States Code), provides the authority for conducting this data collection. While you are not legally required to respond to this census, we rely on your cooperation to present a clear picture of the state of minority businesses in this country. The confidentiality of the information you provide on this questionnaire is guaranteed by Title 42, Section 3789g of the United States code. This law requires both the Office of Minority Businesses Services and Inline Information Systems to hold strictly confidential any information that could identify individuals or private entities. We estimate that it will take one to one hour to complete this questionnaire with 45 minutes being average. This should include reviewing the instructions, searching for gathering data, completing the form and reviewing your answers.
