Summary of changes to: OMB Control Number 3245–0071: 1. SBA Form 1244, Application for Section 504 Loans. This form is used by all small businesses applying for 504 loans and all CDCs applying for SBA guarantees of the debentures that are sold by CDCs to fund 504 loans. The SBA Form 1244 is currently used for all types of 504 loan processing—the Abridged Submission Method (‘‘ASM’’), non-PCLP/ASM, and Premier Certified Lenders Program (‘‘PCLP’’) processing. As discussed below, SBA Form 2450 as well as SBA Form 2234 (Parts A, B, C), will be consolidated into this form. Additional changes to SBA Form 1244 are intended to provide greater clarity for small business applicants using the Eligible Passive Company/Operating Company (EPC/OC) structure, as described in 13 CFR 120.111, that are owned by Employee Stock Ownership Plans; or are funded by 401(k) plans. 2. SBA Form 2450, Eligibility Information Required for 504 Submission (Non PCLP). Currently, this form is used by non-PCLP CDCs, including those CDCs using ASM processing, and is submitted in conjunction with the SBA Form 1244. The SBA Form 2450 is an eligibility checklist submitted by the CDC that allows SBA to determine the eligibility of the small business applicant and the 504 loan. SBA will be incorporating the content of the SBA Form 2450 into SBA Form 1244 and discontinuing the SBA Form 2450. The information that SBA will be collecting will remain substantially unchanged; however, the way in which the information is submitted will be revised. In some cases, the information will be submitted as part of the CDC’s credit memorandum, which is currently an exhibit to the SBA Form 1244. In other cases, the information will be submitted as a new exhibit to the SBA Form 1244. 3. SBA Form 2234 (Part A), Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) Guarantee Request. This form is used for PCLP processing only, and serves as a cover sheet for the SBA Form 2234 (Part B) and SBA Form 2234 (Part C). To the extent that the information collected on this form is not already collected on the current SBA Form 1244, it will be incorporated into the SBA Form 1244, and the SBA Form 2234 (Part A) will be discontinued. 4. Form 2234 (Part B), Supplemental Information for Premier Certified Lender Program (PCLP) Processing. This form is used for PCLP processing only, and it collects quantifiable metrics for the 504 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:34 Feb 12, 2020 Jkt 250001 loan application. To the extent that the information collected on this form is not already collected on the current SBA Form 1244, it will be incorporated into the SBA Form 1244, and the SBA Form 2234 (Part B) will be discontinued. 5. SBA Form 2234 (Part C), Eligibility Information Required for 504 Submission (PCLP). Currently, this form is used for PCLP processing only. The SBA Form 2234 (Part C) is an eligibility checklist that allows a PCLP CDC to determine and certify to SBA the eligibility of the small business applicant and the 504 loan. SBA will be discontinuing this form and incorporating its content into the SBA Form 1244. The requested information will remain substantially unchanged. In some cases, the information will be submitted as part of the CDC’s credit memorandum, which is currently an exhibit to the SBA Form 1244. In other cases, the information will be submitted as a new exhibit to the SBA Form 1244. Solicitation of Public Comments SBA is requesting comments on (i) whether the collection of information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its functions; (ii) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (iii) whether there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (iv) whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information.

SUMMARY: The Small Business Administration (SBA) intends to request 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the 
collection of information described below. The Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA) requires federal agencies to publish a notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information before 
submission to OMB, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response 
to the notice.

DATES: Submit comments on or before April 13, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Send all comments to Mary Frias, Loan Specialist, Office of 
Financial Assistance, Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street SW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection consists of SBA 
Form 2233, PCLP Quarterly Loan Loss Reserve Report; Form 2234 (Part A), 
Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) Guarantee Request; Form 2234 
(Part B), Supplemental Information for Premier Certified Lender Program 
(PCLP) Processing; and Form 2234 (Part C), Eligibility Information 
Required for 504 Submission (PCLP). SBA is proposing to revise this 
collection by cancelling Form 2234 and making minor edits to Form 2233.
    Form 2233 will continue to be used by PCLP Certified Development 
Companies (PCLP CDCs) to report their quarterly loan loss reserves. SBA 
has made a few changes to the form relating to whether PCLP CDCs are 
using the Declining Balance Methodology in calculating its LLRF 
balances. This change ensures consistency with recent regulatory 
amendments in SBA's

December 4, 2019, final rule: Streamlining and Modernizing Certified 
Development Company Program (504 Loan Program) Corporate Governance 
Requirements (84 FR 66287). SBA also made minor edits to this form to 
clarify reporting instructions. The burden hours to complete Form 2233 
are unchanged.
    With the cancellation of Form 2234 (Parts A, B, and C), SBA is 
proposing to incorporate the non-duplicative questions into SBA Form 
1244, which is approved under OMB Control Number 3245-0071. SBA is 
publishing a separate Federal Register notice to address the revisions 
to that information collection. The specific rationale for cancelling 
Form 2234 (Parts A, B, and C) is as follows:

--Form 2234 (Part A): This form serves as a cover sheet for the Form 
2234 (Part B). Most of the information collected on this form is 
collected on the current SBA Form 1244; any information that is not 
duplicative will be incorporated into that form.
--Form 2234 (Part B): This form collects quantifiable metrics for the 
application in addition to the impacts expected to be gained as a 
result of the project. Most of the information is already collected on 
Form 1244, including the credit memorandum; any non-duplicative 
information will be incorporated into the revised Form 1244.
--Form 2234 (Part C): This form is a checklist comprised of yes/no 
questions. The information collected is used to determine the 
eligibility of the applicant and the 504 project. The content of this 
form will be incorporated into the SBA Form 1244. The information 
collected will remain substantially unchanged. Following the 
cancellation of Part C, some of the information will be submitted as 
part of the credit memorandum, which is currently an exhibit to the SBA 
Form 1244, and other information will be submitted as a new exhibit to 
the SBA Form 1244.

    Solicitation of Public Comments: SBA is requesting comments on (i) 
Whether the collection of information is necessary for the agency to 
properly perform its functions; (ii) whether the burden estimates are 
accurate; (iii) whether there are ways to minimize the burden, 
including through the use of automated techniques or other forms of 
information technology; and (iv) whether there are ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information.
