Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 63 / Wednesday, April 1, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
E. Executive Order 13132—Federalism
This rule will not have substantial
direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the National
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, this rule does not have
sufficient federalism implications to
warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement.
F. Executive Order 12988—Civil Justice
Reform
This rule meets the applicable
standards set forth in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988.
G. Paperwork Reduction Act
The provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, do not apply to this final rule
because there are no new or revised
recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
H. Congressional Review Act
This is not a major rule as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2). This action pertains to
agency organization, management, and
personnel and, accordingly, is not a
‘‘rule’’ as that term is used in 5 U.S.C.
804(3). Therefore, the reports to
Congress and the Government
Accountability Office specified by 5
U.S.C. 801 are not required.

13 CFR Part 120
Express Bridge Loan Pilot Program;
Modification of Eligibility and Loan
Approval Deadline and Extension of
Pilot Program
U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Notification of change to
Express Bridge Loan Pilot Program and
extension of pilot program.
AGENCY:
On October 16, 2017, the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
published a document announcing the
Express Bridge Loan Pilot Program
(Express Bridge Pilot). In that document,
SBA provided an overview of the
Express Bridge Pilot and modified an
Agency regulation relating to loan
underwriting for loans made under the
Express Bridge Pilot. On May 7, 2018,
SBA published a document to revise
certain program requirements. SBA
continues to refine and improve the
design of the Express Bridge Pilot and
is issuing this document to expand
program eligibility to include small
businesses nationwide adversely
impacted under the Coronavirus Disease
(COVID–19) Emergency Declaration
(COVID–19 Emergency Declaration)
issued by President Trump on March
13, 2020. Further, SBA is revising
program requirements to allow Express
Bridge Pilot loans made under the
COVID–19 Emergency Declaration to be
approved through March 13, 2021. The
modification of eligibility criteria and
program requirements will allow small
businesses adversely impacted by the
COVID–19 emergency to qualify for
loans through the Express Bridge Pilot.
Finally, SBA is extending the term of
the Express Bridge Pilot from September
30, 2020 to March 13, 2021, to assist
small businesses that may experience
delayed effects resulting from the
COVID–19 emergency to benefit from
the Express Bridge Pilot and to allow
SBA to continue its evaluation of the
program.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
18107
The revised program
requirements described in this
document apply to all Express Bridge
Pilot loans approved on or after April 1,
2020, and the Express Bridge Pilot will
remain available through March 13,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 16, 2017, SBA published a
document announcing the Express
Bridge Pilot. (82 FR 47958) The Express
Bridge Pilot is designed to supplement
the Agency’s disaster response
capabilities and authorizes the Agency’s
7(a) Lenders with SBA Express lending
authority to deliver expedited SBAguaranteed financing on an emergency
basis for disaster-related purposes to
small businesses located in
communities impacted by a
Presidentially-declared disaster, while
the businesses apply for and await longterm financing (including through
SBA’s direct disaster loan program, if
eligible). On May 7, 2018, SBA
published a document to revise certain
Express Bridge Pilot requirements. (83
FR 19921) The Express Bridge Pilot
applies the policies and procedures in
place for the Agency’s SBA Express
program, except as outlined in the
Federal Register documents published
on October 16, 2017, and May 7, 2018.
SBA continues to refine and improve
the design of the Express Bridge Pilot
and, therefore, is issuing this document
to expand program eligibility to include
small businesses nationwide adversely
impacted under the Coronavirus Disease
(COVID–19) Emergency Declaration
issued by President Trump on March
13, 2020. Because the COVID–19
Emergency Declaration covers all states,
territories, and the District of Columbia,
eligible small businesses under the
Express Bridge Pilot will now include
small businesses located in any state,
territory and the District of Columbia
that have been adversely impacted by
the COVID–19 emergency. (Previously,
those small businesses would not be
eligible for Express Bridge Pilot loans
because the program has been limited to
eligible small businesses located in
Primary Counties that have been
Presidentially-declared as major disaster
areas, plus any Contiguous Counties.)
Further, SBA is revising program
requirements to allow Express Bridge
Pilot loans made under the COVID–19
Emergency Declaration to be approved

18108
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 63 / Wednesday, April 1, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
through March 13, 2021. This is a
revision to the current policy that states
Express Bridge Pilot loans can only be
made up to six months after the date of
the applicable Presidential disaster
declaration. This revision will allow
small businesses that experience
delayed impacts resulting from the
COVID–19 emergency to benefit from
the pilot program.
Finally, SBA is extending the term of
the Express Bridge Pilot. The Express
Bridge Pilot is set to expire September
30, 2020. With this Notice, SBA is
extending the pilot program through
March 13, 2021. This extension will
provide time for small businesses that
may experience delayed effects resulting
from the COVID–19 emergency to
benefit from the Express Bridge Pilot
and to allow SBA to continue its
evaluation of the program in accordance
with the criteria set forth in the October
16, 2017 Federal Register notice.
All other SBA terms and conditions
and regulatory waivers related to the
Express Bridge Pilot remain unchanged,
including that loans made under the
Express Bridge Pilot may be eligible to
be repaid with the proceeds of an SBA
direct disaster loan, including loans
made under the Economic Injury
Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program. All
references to disasters in the Express
Bridge Pilot program requirements will
include the COVID–19 emergency.
SBA has provided more detailed
guidance in the form of a program
guide, which has been updated to
conform to this Notice and is available
on SBA’s website, https://www.sba.gov/
document/support--express-bridge-loanpilot-program-guide. SBA will also
provide additional guidance, if needed,
through SBA notices, which also will be
published on SBA’s website, https://
www.sba.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
substance of these special conditions
previously has been published in the
Federal Register for public comment.
These special conditions have been
derived without substantive change
from those previously issued. It is
unlikely that prior public comment
would result in a significant change
from the substance contained herein.
Therefore, the FAA has determined that
prior public notice and comment are
unnecessary, and finds that, for the
same reason, good cause exists for
adopting these special conditions upon
publication in the Federal Register.
Comments Invited
The FAA invites interested people to
take part in this rulemaking by sending
written comments, data, or views. The
most helpful comments reference a
specific portion of the special
conditions, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data.
The FAA will consider all comments
received by the closing date for
comments. The FAA may change these
special conditions based on the
comments received.
Background
On September 3, 2019, Delta applied
for a supplemental type certificate for an
interior reconfiguration that includes
seats containing large, non-traditional,
non-metallic panels on Boeing 757–200
