(D) Lender Risk Rating
The SBA Lender Risk Rating (LRR) is
a measure of predicted performance
over the next 12 months. SBA uses its
Risk Rating model to calculate an
expected purchase rate and assign a
composite rating of 1 to 5 to each SBA
Lender. SBA may make adjustments to
the composite rating based on results of
reviews, third party information on an
SBA Lender’s operations, portfolio
trends, and other information that could
impact an SBA Lender’s risk profile.
(See section E ‘‘Overriding Factors’’ for
further detail.) In general, a rating of 1
indicates least risk, and that the least
degree of SBA oversight is likely
needed, while a 5 rating indicates
highest risk, and that the highest degree
of SBA oversight is likely needed.
Rating categories 2, 3, and 4 provide
granularity for moderate levels of risk
and the corresponding levels of
necessary oversight.

(E) Overriding Factors
As with prior LRR models, the
redeveloped Risk Rating System allows
for consideration of additional factors.
The occurrence of these factors may
lead SBA to conclude that an individual
SBA Lender’s composite rating, as
calculated by the Risk Rating model, is
not fully reflective of its true risk.
Therefore, the Risk Rating System
provides for the consideration of
overriding factors, which may only
apply to a particular SBA Lender or
group of SBA Lenders, and permit SBA
to adjust an SBA Lender’s calculated
composite rating. The allowance of
overriding factors in helping determine
an SBA Lender’s Risk Rating enables
SBA to use key risk factors that are not
necessarily applicable to all SBA
Lenders, but indicate a greater or lower
level of risk from a particular SBA
Lender than that which the calculated
rating provides.
Overriding factors may result from
SBA Lenders’ risk-based reviews/
examinations and evaluations. SBA
routinely conducts reviews of larger
SBA Lenders, performs safety and
soundness examinations of SBA Small
Business Lending Companies (SBLCs)
and Non-Federally Regulated Lenders
(NFRLs), and uses certain evaluation
measures for other SBA Lenders.
Examples of other overriding factors
that may be considered include, but are
not limited to: enforcement or other
actions of regulators or other authorities,
including, but not limited to, Cease &
Desist orders by, or related agreements
with, federal financial regulators; capital
adequacy levels not in conformity with
federal financial regulators; secondary

market issues and concerns; early loan
default trends; purchase rate or
projected purchase rate trends;
abnormally high default, purchase or
liquidation rates; denial of liability
occurrences; lending concentrations;
rapid growth of SBA lending; net yield
rate significantly worse than average;
violation of SBA Loan Program
Requirements; inadequate, incomplete,
or untimely reporting to SBA; and
inaccurate submission of required fees
or amounts due SBA or the federal
government.
In conclusion, industry best practices
and changes in the SBA portfolio,
programs, and available data necessitate
that SBA’s Risk Rating model be
periodically redeveloped. This notice
marks the second redevelopment of
SBA’s Risk Rating model. In addition to
the redevelopment, SBA has and will
continue to perform annual validation
testing on the calculated composite Risk
Ratings, and will further refine the
model as necessary to maintain or
possibly improve the predictiveness of
its risk scoring.

AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew a generic information
collection. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on February
11, 2014, vol. 79, no. 28, pages 8232–

Information Collection Request (Generic
ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery’’.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by May 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0746.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA
forms associated with this generic
information collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of a generic
information collection.
Background: The information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data

collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Respondents: Approximately 2,813
Individuals and Households, Businesses
and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Frequency: Once per request.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
1,407 hours.
Addresses:Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to the attention of the Desk Officer,
Department of Transportation/FAA, and
sent via electronic mail to oira_
submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to
(202) 395–6974, or mailed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.

Title: Performance and Handling
Requirements for Rotorcraft.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA
forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: In order to determine
that a rotorcraft is a safe vehicle, an
applicant for a type certificate must
show compliance to specific minimum
requirements. In order to show
compliance, an applicant must
substantiate the type design through
analysis, testing, design limitations, and
other acceptable means. This requires
that certain performance information for
safe operation of the rotorcraft be
presented, in the form of tables,
diagrams, or charts, in the flight manual.
FAA engineers and designated
engineers review the data submittals to
determine that the rotorcraft complies
with the applicable minimum safety
requirements for rotorcraft performance
and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe
features.
