SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, authorized SBA to guarantee loans made by banks or other financial institutions under a new temporary 7(a) program titled the "Paycheck Protection Program" ("PPP") to small businesses, certain non-profit organizations, veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns, independent contractors and self-employed individuals adversely impacted by the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Emergency. This authority initially expired on August 8, 2020. The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act), Public Law 116-260, renewed SBA's authority to make PPP loans until March 31, 2021, and added authority for second draw PPP loans under §??7(a)(37) of the Small Business Act. The program authority was further extended until June 30, 2021, by the PPP Extension Act of 2021, Public Law 117-6.


[top] This information collection is currently approved for the PPP Loan Program under the emergency procedures authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3507(j) and 5 CFR 1320.13. This approval will expire on January 31, 2022. Although SBA's PPP program authority has expired, this information collection is still needed for the following reasons: (1) PPP borrowers may apply for forgiveness of their loans up to the date of loan maturity, which may be as late as 2026; (2) SBA may page 4323 review a PPP loan at any time; and (3) pending litigation may require the collection of information. Therefore, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, SBA is publishing this notice as a prerequisite to seeking OMB's approval to ensure this information collection is available for use beyond January 31, 2022. As part of that process, SBA is requesting comments from the public 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 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.
