OMB Number: 1505–0228.

small business lending baseline. The
baseline is the bank’s historical amount
of small business lending for the period
October 2009 to September 2010. The
program considers a bank’s increases in
small business lending against this
historical baseline. In addition, a bank’s
initial dividend rate is based on the
increase in small business lending (over
this baseline) in the quarters since
October 2010.
Second, every quarter thereafter, the
bank files a Supplemental Report
quarterly so that Treasury can assess the
change in the small business lending for
the previous quarter. That change from
the historical baseline is used to set the
dividend rate for the next quarter.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Banks and lending
institutions that were approved by
Treasury to participate in the Small
Business Lending Fund.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
350.
Estimated Annual Responses: 1,400.
Estimated Hours per Response: 4
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 5,600 hours.

sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a valid Office of Management

of information must be retained for five
