Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 218 / Friday, November 9, 2012 / Notices
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
covering the guaranteed portion of the
CA loan in the LLRA no later than 10
days after the CA loan has been sold in
the secondary market. In addition, to
address the concern that a CA Lender
with an unacceptable purchase rate
might use secondary market sales to
significantly expand its CA loan
portfolio, SBA is modifying its
regulation at 13 CFR 120.660 for the
duration of the pilot program, to allow
the Director, Office of Credit Risk
Management, discretion to suspend
secondary market authority for any CA
Lender based on the risk characteristics
or performance of the CA Lender’s
portfolio.
The 5% loan loss reserve amount for
the unguaranteed portion of CA loans
and the 3% loan loss reserve amount for
the guaranteed portion of CA loans sold
in the secondary market may be kept in
the same segregated bank account and
must be carried as a restricted reserve
on the CA Lender’s balance sheet for use
in meeting obligations the CA Lender
has to cover losses from their CA
lending activity including but not
limited to defaults and guarantee
repairs, denials, withdrawals or
cancelations. This reserve may be used
to repay SBA in the event of a repair or
denial. If the CA Lender chooses to use
the reserve to repay SBA, the CA Lender
must ensure that the reserve is
replenished to the required level within
45 days. All other requirements
regarding the creation and maintenance
of the LLRA stated in the February 18,
2011 notice and all subsequent notices
remain unchanged. Failure to maintain
the loan loss reserve account as required
may result in removal from the CA Pilot
Program, the imposition of additional
controls or reserve amounts, and/or
other action permitted by SBA
regulation or otherwise by law. Based
on the risk characteristics or
performance of a CA Lender, OCRM in
its discretion may require additional
amounts to be included in the LLRA or
may suspend secondary market
privileges.
Refinancing of SBA Microloans
Currently, CA loans may not be used
to refinance loans made by Microloan
Intermediaries in SBA’s Microloan
Program. Because of the natural
synergies that exist between the SBA
Microloan Program and the CA Pilot
Program, a number of CA Lenders have
asked SBA to reconsider this
prohibition. The CA Pilot Program was
designed as a complement to the SBA
Microloan Program, especially when
small business borrowers’ capital needs
exceed the Microloan Program’s $50,000
maximum loan limit. Allowing CA

Lenders to refinance their SBA
microloans or those of other Microloan
Intermediaries into CA loans will not
only free up microloan program
resources to make more small dollar
loans, but also will make both programs
more attractive and thereby maximize
lender participation and capital
availability to underserved markets.
Analysis indicates that this can be done
without any significant additional risk
to the 7(a) program. Loan performance
data from the 7(a) loan program, (for
loans less than $250,000) over the last
10 years show virtually identical
cumulative default rates for loans that
went to former micro borrowers versus
similarly-sized 7(a) loans that went to
other borrowers (a 0.2 percent
difference). Therefore, SBA is revising
its policy to permit CA loans to be used
to refinance loans made by SBA
Microlenders subject to the policies and
procedures governing debt refinancing
for 7(a) loans as set forth in SBA Loan
Program Requirements and the CA
Participant Guide. As such, the
refinancing of same-institution debt
cannot be processed on a delegated
basis and must be submitted to the
Standard 7(a) Loan Guaranty Processing
Center. SBA will monitor the CA Pilot
Program portfolio to ensure that such
refinancings are in the best interest of
the affected borrowers.
Financial Reports
SBA regulations at 13 CFR
120.464(b)(2) require an SBA
Supervised Lender to prepare financial
reports on an accrual basis. In the
February 18, 2011 notice, however, SBA
modified 13 CFR 120.463(a) to eliminate
the requirement for CA Lenders to keep
their books and records on an accrual
basis. In order to be consistent with that
modification, SBA is waiving 13 CFR
120.464(b)(2) for purposes of the CA
Pilot Program.
CA Associate
The CA Pilot Program was originated
under the basic premise that missionbased lenders are the optimal
distribution tool to get capital to small
businesses in underserved markets.
While this premise remains true, SBA
has recognized that there are many
mission-based organizations that do not
have the capacity to become CA Lenders
but can nevertheless provide referral
services to CA Lenders. Linking higher
capacity CA Lenders with these other
mission-based organizations should
increase the flow of capital to small
businesses in underserved markets.
Current SBA regulations at 13 CFR part
103 and SBA’s Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) 50 10 5(E) set forth the
PO 00000

Agency’s policy and procedures
governing Referral Agents and apply
with equal force and effect to
organizations acting as agents for CA
Lenders on CA loans. Mission-based
organizations providing referral services
to one or more CA Lenders may be
referred to as ‘‘Community Advantage
Associates’’ (‘‘CA Associates’’) for the
purpose of the CA program and are
subject to all of the same requirements
as other agents. SBA may place
additional reporting requirements on
CA Lenders that utilize CA Associates.
Guarantee Purchase
Guarantee purchase requests for CA
loans will be processed in SBA’s
Commercial Loan Servicing Centers
(CLSCs) in Little Rock, AR and Fresno,
CA. The CLSCs, which process
similarly-sized loans, have a greater
capacity to receive and process
additional guarantee purchase requests
than the National Guaranty Purchase
Center, which processes the larger and
more complex standard 7(a) guarantee
purchase requests.
General Information
These changes are limited to the CA
Pilot Program only. All other SBA
guidelines and regulatory waivers
related to the CA Pilot Program remain
unchanged.
SBA has provided more detailed
guidance in the form of a Participant
Guide which has been updated and is
available on SBA’s Web site at https://
www.sba.gov. SBA may provide
additional guidance, through SBA
notices, which may also be published
on SBA’s Web site at https://

Questions regarding the CA Pilot
Program may be directed to the Lender
Relations Specialist in the local SBA
district office. The local SBA district

1. Child Relationship Statement—20
CFR 404.355 & 404.731—0960–0116. To
help determine a child’s entitlement to
Social Security benefits, SSA uses
criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the
Social Security Act (Act), deemed child
provision. SSA may deem a child to an
insured individual if: (1) The insured
individual presents SSA with
satisfactory evidence of parenthood and
was living with or contributing to the
child’s support at certain specified
times; or (2) the insured individual (a)
acknowledged the child in writing; (b)
was court decreed as the child’s parent;
or (c) was court ordered to support the
child. To obtain this information, SSA
uses Form SSA–2519, Child
Relationship Statement. Respondents
are people with knowledge of the
relationship between certain individuals
filing for Social Security benefits and
their alleged biological children.

Before SSA can make a disability
determination for a child, we require
evidence from Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) applicants or claimants to
prove their disability. Form SSA–3371–
BK provides disability interviewers, and
SSI applicants or claimants in self-help
situations, with a convenient way to
record information claimants’ pain or
other symptoms. The State disability
determination services adjudicators and
administrative law judges then use the
information from Form SSA–3371–BK
to assess the effects of symptoms on
function for purposes of determining
disability under the Act. The
respondents are applicants for, or
claimants of, SSI payments.

instruments by writing to the above email address.
1. Child Relationship Statement--20 CFR 404.355 & 404.731--0960-
0116. To help determine a child's entitlement to Social Security
benefits, SSA uses criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Act), deemed child provision. SSA may deem a child to an
insured individual if: (1) The insured individual presents SSA with
satisfactory evidence of parenthood and was living with or contributing
to the child's support at certain specified times; or (2) the insured
individual (a) acknowledged the child in writing; (b) was court decreed
as the child's parent; or (c) was court ordered to support the child.
To obtain this information, SSA uses Form SSA-2519, Child Relationship
Statement. Respondents are people with knowledge of the relationship
between certain individuals filing for Social Security benefits and
their alleged biological children.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

2. Pain Report-Child--20 CFR 404.1512 and 416.912--0960-0540.
Before SSA can make a disability determination for a child, we require
evidence from Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants or
claimants to prove their disability. Form SSA-3371-BK provides
disability interviewers, and SSI applicants or claimants in self-help
situations, with a convenient way to record information claimants' pain
or other symptoms. The State disability determination services
adjudicators and administrative law judges then use the information
from Form SSA-3371-BK to assess the effects of symptoms on function for
purposes of determining disability under the Act. The respondents are
applicants for, or claimants of, SSI payments.

3. Internet and Automated Telephone Request for Replacement Forms
SSA-1099/SSA-1042S--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0583. Title II recipients use
Forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S, Social Security Benefit Statement, to
determine if their Social Security benefits are taxable and the amount
they need to report to the Internal Revenue Service. In cases where the
original forms are unavailable (e.g., lost, stolen, mutilated), an
individual may use SSA's Internet request form or automated telephone
application to request a replacement SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S. SSA uses
the information from the Internet and automated telephone requests to
verify the identity of the requestor and to provide replacement copies
of the forms. The Internet and automated telephone options reduce
requests to the National 800 Number Network (N8NN) and visits to local
Social Security field offices. The respondents are title II recipients
who wish to request a replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S via the
Internet and telephone.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

4. Important Information About Your Appeal, Waiver Rights, and
Repayment Options--20 CFR 404.502-521--0960-0779. When SSA accidentally
overpays beneficiaries, the agency informs them of the following
rights: (1) The right to reconsideration of the overpayment
determination; (2) the right to request a waiver of recovery and the
automatic scheduling of a personal conference if SSA cannot approve a
request for waiver; and (3) the availability of a different rate of
withholding when SSA proposes the full withholding rate. SSA uses Form
SSA-3105, Important Information About Your Appeal, Waiver Rights, and
Repayment Options, to explain these rights to overpaid individuals, and
allow them to notify SSA of their decision(s) regarding these rights.
The respondents are overpaid claimants requesting a waiver of recovery
for the overpayment, reconsideration of the fact of the overpayment, or
a lesser rate of withholding of the overpayment.

State vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies submit Form SSA-199
to SSA to obtain reimbursement of costs incurred for providing VR
services. SSA requires state VR agencies to submit reimbursement claims
for the following categories:
(1) Claiming reimbursement for VR services provided; (2) certifying
adherence to cost containment policies and procedures; and (3)
preparing causality statements.
The respondents mail the paper copy of the SSA-199 to SSA for
consideration and approval of the claim for reimbursement of cost
incurred for SSA beneficiaries. For claims certifying adherence to cost
containment policies and procedures, or for preparing causality
statements, State VR agencies submit written requests as stipulated in
SSA's regulations within the Code of Federal Regulations. In most
cases, SSA requires adherence to cost containment policies and
procedures as well as causality statements prior to determining whether
to reimburse the State VR agencies. SSA uses the information on the
SSA-199, along with the written documentation, to determine whether or
not, and how much, to pay the State VR agencies under SSA's VR program.
Respondents are State VR agencies who offer vocational and employment
services to Social Security and SSI recipients.
