This final rule implements a recent amendment to the Small Business Act authorizing the Small Business Administration (SBA) to assess fees to Lenders participating in SBA's 7(a) loan guarantee program (Lenders) to cover the costs of examinations, reviews, and other Lender oversight activities. The rule describes the methodology for fee assessment.

The rule also describes the billing and payment processes.
