Abstract: The collection involves the
use of the ‘‘Short-term Lending Program
Application for a New Loan Guarantee’’
and the ‘‘Application for Loan
Guarantee Renewal’’. The information to
be collected will be used to determine
the applicant’s eligibility and is
necessary to approve or deny a loan. We
are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. OSDBU’s Shortterm Lending Program (STLP) offers
certified Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (DBEs) and other Certified
Small Businesses (8a, women-owned,
small disadvantaged, HubZone, veteran
owned, and service disabled veteran
owned) the opportunity to obtain shortterm working capital at variable interest
rates for transportation-related projects.
The STLP provides up to a 75%
guaranteed revolving line of credit for a
maximum of $750,000 to finance
accounts receivable arising from
transportation-related contracts. These
loans are provided through banks that
serve as STLP Participating Lenders
(PL). The term of the line of credit is for
one (1) year, which may be renewed up
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:32 Dec 05, 2008
Jkt 217001
to a total of five (5) years. A potential
STLP participant must submit a
guaranteed loan application package,
comprised of a loan application, with
supporting documentation collected
from the checklist on page seven (7) of
the application. A current STLP
participant may submit a guaranteed
loan renewal application package,
comprised of an updated loan
application, with supporting
documentation collected from the
checklist on page seven (7) of the
application. The Short-term Lending
Program-Bank Verification Loan
Activation Form; Bank Verification
Extension Request Form; Bank
Acknowledgement Loan Close-Out
Form; Guarantee Loan Status Report;
Pending Loan Status Report; Drug-Free
Workplace Act Certification for a
Grantee Other than an Individual;
Certification Regarding Lobbying for
Contracts Grants, Loans, and
Cooperative Agreements; and
Certification Regarding Debarment,
Suspension are all documents used and
required by our Participating Lenders.
All the bank documentation is
performed by the PLs. As part of the
requirements for approval as a PL, banks
must submit documentation that
demonstrates it is a drug-free workplace
by executing a Certification of
Compliance concerning a drug-free
workplace; that no Federal funds will be
utilized for lobbying by executing a
Certificate Regarding Lobbying in
compliance with Section 1352, Title 21,
of the U.S. Code; that it is not currently
debarred or suspended from
participation in a government contract
or delinquent on a government debt by
submitting a current SBA Form 1624 or
its equivalent. The STLP is subject to
the requirements of the Federal Credit
Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA) that
includes certain budgeting and
accounting requirements for Federal
credit programs. The PL must undertake
processes to activate, monitor, service
and close-out STLP loans. To fulfill the
requirements of FCRA, the PL shall
retain all documents, files, books, and
records relevant to the administration of
an STLP loan and must submit regular
reports and required documentation to
OSDBU on these processes. All
information collected from the
respondents on the Short-Term Lending
Online Program Application for a New
Loan Guarantee and the Application for
Loan Guarantee Renewal is covered
under the privacy act.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,

and clarity of the information collection;
and d) ways to minimize the burden of

Title: Short Term Lending Program Application.
Form No. Short Term Lending Program.
Type Of Review: Renewal.
Abstract: The collection involves the use of the ``Short-term
Lending Program Application for a New Loan Guarantee'' and the
``Application for Loan Guarantee Renewal''. The information to be
collected will be used to determine the applicant's eligibility and is
necessary to approve or deny a loan. We are required to publish this
notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
OSDBU's Short-term Lending Program (STLP) offers certified
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) and other Certified Small
Businesses (8a, women-owned, small disadvantaged, HubZone, veteran
owned, and service disabled veteran owned) the opportunity to obtain
short-term working capital at variable interest rates for
transportation-related projects. The STLP provides up to a 75%
guaranteed revolving line of credit for a maximum of $750,000 to
finance accounts receivable arising from transportation-related
contracts. These loans are provided through banks that serve as STLP
Participating Lenders (PL). The term of the line of credit is for one
(1) year, which may be renewed up to a total of five (5) years. A
potential STLP participant must submit a guaranteed loan application
package, comprised of a loan application, with supporting documentation
collected from the checklist on page seven (7) of the application. A
current STLP participant may submit a guaranteed loan renewal
application package, comprised of an updated loan application, with
supporting documentation collected from the checklist on page seven (7)
of the application. The Short-term Lending Program-Bank Verification
Loan Activation Form; Bank Verification Extension Request Form; Bank
Acknowledgement Loan Close-Out Form; Guarantee Loan Status Report;
Pending Loan Status Report; Drug-Free Workplace Act Certification for a
Grantee Other than an Individual; Certification Regarding Lobbying for
Contracts Grants, Loans, and Cooperative Agreements; and Certification
Regarding Debarment, Suspension are all documents used and required by
our Participating Lenders. All the bank documentation is performed by
the PLs. As part of the requirements for approval as a PL, banks must
submit documentation that demonstrates it is a drug-free workplace by
executing a Certification of Compliance concerning a drug-free
workplace; that no Federal funds will be utilized for lobbying by
executing a Certificate Regarding Lobbying in compliance with Section
1352, Title 21, of the U.S. Code; that it is not currently debarred or
suspended from participation in a government contract or delinquent on
a government debt by submitting a current SBA Form 1624 or its
equivalent. The STLP is subject to the requirements of the Federal
Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA) that includes certain budgeting and
accounting requirements for Federal credit programs. The PL must
undertake processes to activate, monitor, service and close-out STLP
loans. To fulfill the requirements of FCRA, the PL shall retain all
documents, files, books, and records relevant to the administration of
an STLP loan and must submit regular reports and required documentation
to OSDBU on these processes. All information collected from the
respondents on the Short-Term Lending Online Program Application for a
New Loan Guarantee and the Application for Loan Guarantee Renewal is
covered under the privacy act.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Departments estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, by
the use of electronic means, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record.
