SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: State Small Business Credit
Initiative Information Collection
Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1505–0227.
Type of Review: Revision of currently
approved information collection
activities.
Description: This information
collection captures information related
to the State Small Business Credit
Initiative (SSBCI). The American Rescue
Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) reauthorized
and amended the Small Business Jobs
Act of 2010 (SSBCI statute) to fund
SSBCI as a response to the economic
effects of the COVID–19 pandemic.1
SSBCI is a federal program administered
by the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(Treasury) that was created to
strengthen the programs of states, the
District of Columbia, territories, and
Tribal Governments (collectively,
jurisdictions) that support private
financing for small businesses. SSBCI
includes the Capital Program, through
which Treasury provides funding to
jurisdictions to expand access to capital
for small businesses, and the Technical
Assistance (TA) Program, through
which jurisdictions provide legal,
accounting, and financial advisory
services (TA services) to very small and
underserved businesses (eligible
beneficiaries) that are applying for
SSBCI Capital Program funding and
other governmental programs that
support small businesses. The TA
Program includes the allocation
formula-based TA Grant Program. In
addition, as part of the TA Program,
Treasury has published the SSBCI
Investing in America Small Business
Opportunity Program (SBOP) Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO), which is
a competitive grant program.2
• SSBCI Investing in America SBOP
Application. Any jurisdiction that has
been approved as a participating
jurisdiction in the SSBCI Capital
Program can apply for the program.
Jurisdictions that are not yet approved
as participating jurisdictions in the
SSBCI Capital Program, but that have
submitted complete and timely SSBCI
Capital Program applications (or are part
of a joint Tribal government
application), are also eligible to apply;
however, to receive an SSBCI Investing
in America SBOP award, a jurisdiction
must be approved as a participating
jurisdiction in the SSBCI Capital
Program. Only certain applicants will be
selected for funding under this
competitive program in accordance with
the SSBCI Investing in America SBOP
NOFO.
To determine whether an application
should be selected for funding, Treasury
must collect certain types of information
in an application. This information is
detailed in the publicly-posted NOFO
on Treasury’s website, and includes:
designation letter from the jurisdiction’s
governing official designating the
eligible applicant to take specific
actions with respect to the program;
information about the applicant’s
proposed program, including a
description of the project service area
and potential to connect eligible
beneficiaries to business opportunities,
the applicant’s proposed solution and
how it aligns with the needs of eligible
beneficiaries and overcomes any
limitations or gaps in coverage in
providing TA services, a description of
the applicant’s key partners and project
support, information about the
applicant’s organizational capacity and
experience, and the applicant’s
performance goals and measures; details
on the applicant’s budget using the line
items of Form SF–424A ‘‘Budget
Information—Non-Construction
Programs’’ and a budget narrative that
details the use of funds in each line
item, as applicable to the proposed
programs; certain required assurances
and certifications; and supporting
