SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Information on SBA Secondary Market 

Program 

AGENCY: Small Business Administration. 

ACTION: Update to secondary market 

program. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this Notice is 

to inform the public that the Small 

Business Administration (SBA) is 

making no change to the current 

minimum maturity ratio of 92.0% for 

both SBA Standard Pools and WeightedAverage Coupon (WAC) Pools. The 

minimum maturity ratio covers the 

estimated cost of the timely payment 

guaranty for newly formed SBA 7(a) 

loan pools. This update will be 

incorporated, as needed, into the SBA 

Secondary Market Program Guide and 

all other appropriate SBA Secondary 

Market documents. 

DATES: The update will apply to SBA 

7(a) loan pools with an issue date on or 

after October 1, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Address comments 

concerning this Notice to David Parrish, 

Chief Secondary Market Division, Office 

of Financial Assistance, U.S. Small 

Business Administration, 409 3rd Street 

SW, Washington, DC 20416; or 

david.parrish@sba.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Division, Office of Financial Assistance 

at (202) 205–6346; or david.parrish@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secondary Market Improvements Act of 

1984, 15 U.S.C. 634(f) through (h), 

authorized SBA to guarantee the timely 

payment of principal and interest on 

Pool Certificates. A Pool Certificate 

represents a fractional undivided 

interest in a ‘‘Pool,’’ which is an 

aggregation of SBA guaranteed portions 

of loans made by SBA Lenders under 

section 7(a) of the Small Business Act, 

15 U.S.C. 636(a). In order to support the 

timely payment guaranty requirement, 

SBA established the Master Reserve 

Fund (MRF), which serves as a 

mechanism to cover the cost of SBA’s 

timely payment guaranty. Borrower 

payments on the guaranteed portions of 

pooled loans, as well as SBA guaranty 

payments on defaulted pooled loans, are 

deposited into the MRF. Funds are held 

in the MRF until distributions are made 

to investors (Registered Holders) of Pool 

Certificates. The interest earned on the 

borrower payments and the SBA 

guaranty payments deposited into the 

MRF supports the timely payments 

made to Registered Holders. 

From time to time, SBA provides 

guidance to SBA Pool Assemblers on 

the required loan and pool 

characteristics necessary to form a Pool. 

These characteristics include, among 

other things, the minimum number of 

guaranteed portions of loans required to 

form a Pool, the allowable difference 

between the highest and lowest gross 

and net note rates of the guaranteed 

portions of loans in a Pool, and the 

minimum maturity ratio of the 

guaranteed portions of loans in a Pool. 

The minimum maturity ratio is equal to 

the ratio of the shortest and the longest 

remaining term to maturity of the 

guaranteed portions of loans in a Pool. 

Based on SBA’s expectations as to the 

performance of future Pools, SBA has 

determined that no change is necessary 

to the minimum maturity ratio from 

fiscal year 2023 for Pools formed on or 

after October 1, 2023. The minimum 

maturity ratio will remain at 92.0%. 

Therefore, effective October 1, 2023, all 

guaranteed portions of loans in 

Standard Pools and WAC Pools 

presented for settlement with SBA’s 

Fiscal Transfer Agent will be required to 

have a minimum maturity ratio of at 

least 92.0%. 

SBA will continue to monitor loan 

and pool characteristics and will 

provide notification of additional 

changes as necessary. It is important to 

note that there is no change to SBA’s 

obligation to honor its guaranty of the 

amounts owed to Registered Holders of 

Pool Certificates and that such guaranty 

continues to be backed by the full faith 

and credit of the United States. 

This program change will be 

incorporated as necessary into SBA’s 

Secondary Market Guide and all other 

appropriate SBA Secondary Market 

documents. As indicated above, this 

change will be effective for Standard
