19The 7(a) loan program is the SBA’s primary 

program for providing financial assistance to small 

businesses. The program’s name comes from section 

7(a) of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 636(a). 

The SBA offers several different types of loans 

through the program. 

20 Institutions that were not SBA-certified did 

have to apply to the SBA and receive delegated 

authority to process PPP loan applications. 

7(a) lending program.19 This includes 

federally insured depository 

institutions, credit unions, and 

nonbanks.20

When the PPP opened on April 3, 

2020, demand for PPP loans far 

exceeded the initial $349 billion of 

funding for PPP loans and those funds 

were exhausted in less than two weeks. 

Congress subsequently provided another 

$310 billion (including $60 billion 

specifically to be lent by smaller banks 

and credit unions), bringing the total 

funding for the PPP to $659 billion. The 

second round of funding became 

available on April 27, 2020 and was not 

exhausted. When the PPP closed on 

August 8, 2020, $133 billion remained 

available. 

While the PPP was active, Congress 

made additional funds available, 

changed the term for new PPP loans, 

and revised other program 

requirements. The SBA also issued 

numerous interim final rules related to 

the program and lenders. PPP lenders 

were responsible for ensuring that their 

participation in the PPP complied not 

only with the CARES Act and SBA 

rules, but also with other applicable 

laws, including ECOA. 

Fair Lending Risk 

Examiners’ review of small business 

lenders’ PA responses identified certain 

issues that may pose fair lending risks. 

In implementing the PPP, multiple 

lenders adopted a policy that restricted 

access to PPP loans beyond the 

eligibility requirements of the CARES 

Act and rules and orders issued by the 

SBA (an ‘‘overlay’’). Specifically, several 

small business lenders restricted access 

by limiting eligibility for PPP loans to 

existing customers (an ‘‘existing 

customer overlay’’). The Bureau’s PA 

work in this area revealed that the 

existing customer overlay fell into two 

general categories: 

(1) Restrictive policies that allowed 

only small businesses with a preexisting relationship (or certain type of 

pre-existing relationship) with the 

institution the opportunity to apply for 

a PPP loan; and 

(2) less restrictive policies that 

required small businesses without a preexisting relationship to first become 

customers of the financial institution 

(usually by opening a business deposit 

account) and then apply for a PPP loan. 

Examiners determined that an overlay 

restricting access to PPP loans for small 

businesses that do not have an existing 

relationship with the institution, while 

neutral on its face, may have a 

disproportionate negative impact on a 

prohibited basis and run a risk of 

violating the ECOA and Regulation B. 

The small business lenders provided 

business justifications for their use of 

existing customer overlays, with the 

majority of institutions noting that they 

adopted such overlays because of Know 

Your Customer legal requirements, the 

prevention of fraud, or both. Several 

institutions also offered other, 

operational reasons for adopting this 

overlay, including managing extreme 

demand and enabling the institution to 

process as many applications as 

possible before funds were depleted. 

Examiners noted the challenges faced by 

small business lenders in implementing 

the PPP during a nationwide emergency 

and found that the institutions’ stated 

reasons for adopting their overlays 

reflected legitimate business needs 

during part or all of the review period. 

Examiners did not, however, conduct a 

full analysis of any institution’s overlay, 

and did not make any determination 

about whether an institution’s use of the 

overlay complies with ECOA or 

Regulation B. Examiners encouraged the 

small business lenders to consider the 

fair lending risks associated with 

participation in the PPP, in further 

implementation of the PPP, and in any 

new lending program and to evaluate 

and address any risks. 

4. Conclusion 

The Bureau is committed to being as 

transparent as possible about its 

supervisory findings and will continue 

to publish Supervisory Highlights to aid 

Bureau-supervised entities in their 

efforts to comply with Federal consumer 

financial law. While the Bureau’s PA 

reviews are substantially complete, in 

some instances, examiners identified 

issues that require follow up. The 

Bureau will follow-up on risks 

identified during PAs in the course of 

its regular supervisory work and 

findings may be shared in future 

editions of Supervisory Highlights.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2008, 

Congress established CIGIE as an 

independent entity within the executive 

branch in order to address integrity, 

economy, and effectiveness issues that 

transcend individual Government 

agencies; and increase the 

professionalism and effectiveness of 

personnel by developing policies, 

standards, and approaches to aid in the 

establishment of a well-trained and 

highly skilled workforce in the offices of 

the Inspector General. CIGIE’s 

membership is comprised of all 

Inspectors General whose offices are 

established under the Inspector General 

Act of 1978, as amended, 5 U.S.C. app 

(IG Act), as well as the Controller of the 

Office of Federal Financial 

Management, a designated official of the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), 

the Director of the Office of Government 

Ethics, the Special Counsel of the Office 

of Special Counsel, the Deputy Director 

of the Office of Personnel Management, 

the Deputy Director for Management of 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), and the Inspectors General of 

the Office of the Director of National 

Intelligence, Central Intelligence 

Agency, Library of Congress, Capitol 

Police, Government Publishing Office, 

Government Accountability Office, and 

the Architect of the Capitol. The Deputy 

Director for Management of OMB serves 

as the Executive Chairperson of CIGIE. 

Section 15010 of Public Law 116–136, 

established the PRAC as a committee 

within CIGIE. The mission of the PRAC 

is to promote transparency and conduct 

and support oversight to: (1) Prevent 

and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and 

mismanagement of covered funds; and 

(2) mitigate major risks that cut across 

programs and agencies with respect to 

covered funds. The term ‘‘covered 

funds’’ means any funds, including but 

not limited to loans, that are made 

available in any form to any non-Federal 

entity, not including an individual, 

under: The CARES Act; the Coronavirus 

Preparedness and Response 

Supplemental Appropriations Act of 

2020; the Families First Coronavirus 

Response Act; or any other act primarily 

making appropriations for the Federal 

Government’s Coronavirus response and 

related activities. 

The new system of records described 

in this notice, the PRAC Data 

Warehouse System (CIGIE–5), will 

enable CIGIE to carry out its 

responsibilities to promote transparency 

and conduct oversight of covered funds. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

CIGIE has provided a report of this new 

system of records to OMB and to 

Congress. The new system of records
