The benefit information is needed to adjust the tier I annuity component for the receipt of the Social Security benefit. This information is available from no other source. Second, the RRB will receive from SSA the amount of certain Social Security benefits which the RRB pays on behalf of SSA. Section 7(b)(2) of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231f(b)(2)) provides that the RRB shall make the payment of certain Social Security benefits. The RRB also requires this information in order to adjust the amount of any annuity due to the receipt of a Social Security benefit. Section 10(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231i(a)) permits the RRB to recover any overpayment from the accrual of Social Security benefits.

Section 7(b)(7)) of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231f(b)(7) requires that SSA provide the requested information.

SSA will receive weekly from RRB earnings information for all railroad employees. SSA will match the identifying information of the records furnished by the RRB against the identifying information contained in its Master Benefit Record and its Master Earnings File. If there is a match, SSA will use the RRB earnings to adjust the amount of Social Security benefits in its Annual Earnings Reappraisal Operation. This information is available from no other source. SSA will also receive daily from RRB earnings information on selected individuals. The transfer of information may be initiated either by RRB or by SSA. SSA needs this information to determine eligibility to Social Security benefits and, if eligibility is met, to determine the benefit amount payable. Section 18 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231q(2)) requires that earnings considered as compensation under the Railroad Retirement Act be considered as wages under the Social Security Act for the purposes of determining entitlement under the Social Security Act if the person has less than 10 years of railroad service or has 10 or more years of service but does not have a current connection with the VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:28 Aug 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 railroad industry at the time of his/her death.

ACTION: Notice of extension of waiver of regulatory provisions. AGENCY: This notice announces the extension of the ‘‘Notice of waiver of regulatory provisions’’ for SBA’s GO Loan Pilot until September 30, 2011. Due to the scope and magnitude of the devastation to Presidentially-declared disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as well as the further devastation by the BP Oil Spill that began on April 20, 2010, the Agency is extending its full guaranty and streamlined and centralized loan processing available through the GO Loan Pilot to small businesses in the eligible parishes/counties through September 30, 2011. DATES: The waiver of regulatory provisions published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2005, is extended under this Notice until September 30, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gail Hepler, Office of Financial Assistance, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street, SW., Washington, DC 20416; Telephone (202) 205–7530; gail.hepler@sba.gov. SUMMARY: On November 8, 2005, SBA initiated the GO Loan Pilot program which was designed to provide expedited small business financial assistance to businesses located in those communities severely impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Under this unique initiative, SBA provides its full (85%) guaranty and streamlined and centralized loan processing to all eligible lenders that agree to make expedited SBA 7(a) loans available to small businesses located in, locating to or re-locating in the parishes/ counties that have been Presidentiallydeclared as disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, plus any contiguous parishes/counties. To maximize the effectiveness of the GO Loan Pilot, on November 17, 2005, SBA published a notice in the Federal Register waiving for the GO Loan Pilot jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:28 Aug 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 certain Agency regulations for the 7(a) Business Loan Program. (70 FR 69645). Because the pilot was designed as a temporary program scheduled to expire on September 30, 2006, and was extended to September 30, 2010, the waiver of certain Agency regulations also is due to expire on September 30, 2010. However, the Agency believes that there is a continuing, substantial need for the specific SBA assistance provided by this pilot in the affected areas. When compared to other similarlysized Section 7(a) loans, the GO Loan portfolio is performing very well, at about one-half the rate of liquidation and one-quarter the rate of loan purchase compared to all other 7(a) loans of $150,000 or less. In addition, the demand for GO Loans has continued during FY2010 in response to the ongoing need to rebuild the Gulf Coast areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The annualized number of GO Loans approved in FY 2010 is about the same as the number of approvals for FY 2009 at approximately 560 loans per year. Also, the Deepwater BP oil spill that began April 20, 2010, has further devastated the Gulf Coast region and adversely affected many small businesses. Thus, the Agency believes it is appropriate to extend this unique and vital program through September 30, 2011. Accordingly, the SBA is also extending its waiver of the Agency regulations identified in the Federal Register notice at 70 FR 69645 through September 30, 2011. SBA’s waiver of these provisions is authorized by regulations. These waivers apply only to those loans approved under the GO Loan Pilot and will last only for the duration of the Pilot, which expires September 30, 2011. As part of the GO Loan Pilot, these waivers apply only to those small businesses located in, locating to, or relocating in the parishes/ counties that have been Presidentiallydeclared as disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes Katrina or Rita, plus any contiguous parishes/counties. A list of all eligible parishes/counties will be included in an SBA procedural notice that will announce the extension of the GO Loan Pilot. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 636(a)(24); 13 CFR 120.3. Eric R. Zarnikow, Associate Administrator, Office of Capital Access.
