U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On April 6, 2016, the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
published in the Federal Register a
proposed rule to amend its disaster loan
program regulations in response to
changes made to the Small Business Act
(the Act) by the Recovery Improvements
for Small Entities After Disaster Act of
2015 (the RISE Act). SBA received no
comments on its proposed rule;
therefore SBA adopts the proposed rule
without change. The first change
expands the definition of a mitigating
measure to include the construction of
a safe room or similar storm shelter
designed to protect property and
occupants. The second change allows
for an increase of the unsecured
threshold for physical damage loans for
non-major disasters. The third change
allows SBA to increase loan amounts to
address contractor malfeasance. In
addition, SBA is making several
technical corrections to conform certain
regulatory provisions to existing

statutory authority and remove an
obsolete reference in part 123.
DATES: This rule is effective on October
3, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 7(b) of the Small Business
Act, 15 U.S.C. 636(b), authorizes SBA to
make direct loans to homeowners,
renters, businesses, and non-profit
organizations that have been adversely
affected by a disaster. After a declared
disaster, SBA makes loans of up to
$200,000 to homeowners and renters
(plus up to $40,000 for personal
property) and loans of up to $2 million
to businesses of all sizes and non-profit
organizations to assist with any
uninsured and otherwise
uncompensated physical losses
sustained during the disaster. In
addition to loans for the repair or
replacement of damaged physical
property, SBA also offers working
capital loans, known as Economic Injury
Disaster Loans (EIDLs), to small
businesses, small agricultural
cooperatives, and most private nonprofit organizations that have suffered
economic injury caused by a disaster.
The maximum loan amount is $2
million for physical and economic
injuries combined. SBA may waive this
$2 million limit if a business is a major
source of employment.
The Recovery Improvements for Small
Entities After Disaster Act of 2015,
Public Law 114–88, 129 Stat. 686
(November 25, 2015), amended certain
terms and conditions of SBA’s Disaster
Assistance program. SBA published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register on
April 6, 2016 (81 FR 19934), to address
three of those statutory amendments, as
set out in sections 1102 (safe rooms),
2102 (three year temporary increase in
unsecured loan limits), and 2107
(contractor malfeasance) of the RISE
Act, as well as to make several minor
technical amendments to the program
regulations to ensure consistency
between the program’s regulatory and
statutory authorities. The comment
period for the proposed rule ended on
June 6, 2016, and SBA received no
comments. As discussed below, this
final rule implements those statutory
