Data Collection Available for Public
Comments
60-Day notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
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. This
notice complies with that requirement.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
April 26, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Send all comments to,
Cynthia Pitts, Office of Disaster
Assistance, Small Business
Administration.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cynthia Pitts, Cynthia.pitts@sba.gov,
(202) 205–7570.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act, Public Law 116–136 (April
27, 2020) authorized SBA to provide an
Advance of up to $10,000 to applicants
who applied for an economic injury
disaster loan (EIDL) in response to the
COVID–19 pandemic. SBA developed a
streamlined information collection to
implement this EIDL Advance authority,
including a Self-Certification for
Verification of Eligible Entity for
Emergency EIDL Advance, SBA Form
3503, along with several other forms
used to collect information for COVID–
EIDL loans. (OMB Control Number
3245–0406). On July 10, 2020, SBA
revised this information collection to
remove all references to the EIDL
Advance, because the appropriated
funds for the EIDL Advance program
had been exhausted. SBA received
additional funds under the Economic
Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses,
Nonprofits, and Venues Act, (Economic
Aid Act), Public Law 116–260, Div. N,
Title III, Sec. 323 (December 27, 2020),
to provide additional Advances subject
to certain conditions. Specifically,
Section 331 of the Economic Aid Act
requires SBA to provide Targeted EIDL
Advances (Targeted EIDL Advance) to
certain entities that previously received
an EIDL Advance of less than $10,000;
entities that previously applied for a
COVID–EIDL, but did not receive an
EIDL Advance because there were no
funds available; and to new COVID–

EIDL applicants, subject to the
availability of funds. Eligible entities
must be located in a low-income
community, must have 300 or fewer
employees, must have economic losses
of greater than 30 percent, and must
meet all other eligibility requirements
applicable to EIDLs. SBA has created a
new application (Form 3514) to collect
the information necessary to implement
the Targeted EIDL Advance authority.
Because the need for this financial
assistance is so critical, SBA requested
and received emergency approval under
5 CFR 1320.13 for this new information
collection. The information will be
collected from applicants (small
businesses and nonprofits) that are
eligible to apply for a Targeted EIDL
Advance. SBA’s Office of Disaster
Assistance (ODA) will use the
information in determining whether to
approve or disapprove the application.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is requesting comments on (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the agency to properly
perform its functions; (b) whether the
burden estimates are accurate; (c)
whether there are ways to minimize the
burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (d) whether
there are ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information.
