that the trustee filed the proper return

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: State Small Business Credit 

Initiative. 

OMB Control Number: 1505–0227. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

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 the 

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 

jurisdictions (i.e., States, the District of 

Columbia, Territories, Tribal 

governments) that support private 

financing for small businesses as well as 

to provide technical assistance (TA) to 

qualifying small businesses. Under the 

allocation formula-based TA Grant 

Program, Treasury awards Federal 

grants to eligible jurisdictions for the 

provision of legal, accounting, and 

financial advisory services to qualifying 

small businesses applying for the SSBCI 

Capital Program and other Federal or 

other jurisdiction small business 

programs. Treasury is updating the 

burden estimate for OMB Control
