                    The SBA is holding open meetings to discuss the ILP program established in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-240). The ILP program is a three-year pilot program in which SBA will make direct loans of up to $1 million at an interest rate of 1 percent to up to 20                           ( print page 20800)                        nonprofit lending intermediaries each year, subject to availability of funds. Intermediaries will then use the ILP loan funds to make loans of up to $200,000 to startup, newly established, or growing small business concerns. SBA regulations implementing the ILP program were published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on April 1, 2011 (76 FR 18007).                

The purpose of these meetings is to provide general information to potential applicants on the requirements of the ILP program and the application and selection process to become an ILP Intermediary. SBA will not discuss specific applications at these meetings. The ILP program meetings are open to the public; however, seating is limited, so advance notice of attendance is requested.
