SBA RIN: 3245-AF45 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Policy Directive 
Abstract: SBA is proposing to add to its current STTR Policy Directive a section describing the purpose and intended effects of Executive Order (E.O.) 13329. SBA is proposing to add provisions to define the term "manufacturing-related research and development" and to describe its four main areas: Unit process level technologies, machine-level technologies, system-level technologies, and environment or societal technologies. In accordance with the E.O. 13329, SBA is also proposing to impose new requirements on Federal agencies participating in the STTR Program. Pursuant to these proposed amendments, Federal agencies would be required to: (1) Include specific statements relating to E.O. 13329 in program solicitations; (2) develop an Action Plan for implementing E.O. 13329, including adding information to the agency's website; and (3) report to SBA on the agency's efforts to implement E.O. 13329.
