SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The SBA’s Disaster Loan Program 

provides critical assistance to 

communities after a disaster. Pursuant 

to Section 7(b) of the Small Business 

Act, 15 U.S.C. 636(b) (the Act), the SBA 

is authorized to make direct loans to 

homeowners, renters, businesses, and 

non-profit organizations that have been 

adversely affected by a disaster. Also 

pursuant to the Act, the SBA may 

declare an Agency disaster in areas 

demonstrating substantial physical or 

economic damage because of natural or 

other disasters. 

With natural disasters increasing in 

size, severity, and frequency across the 

United States and its territories, SBA is 

expanding the definition of contiguous 

counties, clarifying certain aspects of 

disaster declaration requests, and 

simplifying language to ensure 

consistency. 

SBA believes these changes are 

necessary to: 

• Increase efficiencies in the 

administration and delivery of the 

disaster loan program to better achieve 

mission and improve outcomes for 

economic recovery, 

• Recognize the unique economic 

circumstances of island chains, 

• Clarify the timeline for Governor 

submissions of disaster requests, and 

• Ensure consistency and clarity of 

language within SBA guidance 

documents. 

II. Description of Regulatory Changes 

SBA is amending the language in 13 

CFR 123.2 (What are disaster loans and 

disaster declarations?), 123.3 (How are 

disaster declarations made?), and 123.4 

(What is a disaster area and why is it 

important?) to update the language from 

‘‘disaster victims’’ to ‘‘disaster 

survivors.’’ This update will modernize 

the language in the CFR to reflect the 

strength of those who have survived a 

disaster. The change will also align the 

regulations with the terminology 

currently used by the SBA Disaster Loan 

Program. 

SBA is amending 13 CFR 123.2 to 

subdivide the paragraph into two 

separate paragraphs. This technical 

change separates the definition of 

disaster loans and disaster declarations 

into a format easier to comprehend. 

SBA is amending the first sentence in 

13 CFR 123.3(a)(3)(i), How are disaster 

declarations made?, to replace the word 

U.S. possession with ‘‘territory’’ to 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 91537 

ensure the language is updated with 

current use and meaning. SBA is also 

eliminating the word possession in 

§ 123.2(a)(6). 

SBA is amending 13 CFR 

123.3(a)(3)(iii), How are disaster 

declarations made?, to include the Chief 

Executive of an Indian tribal 

government as an authority that can 

request an SBA physical disaster 

declaration. This change clarifies what 

is already permitted, correcting the 

previous oversight and aligning with 

current practice. 

SBA is amending the regulatory 

language in 13 CFR 123.3(a)(5), How are 

disaster declarations made?, to ensure 

the language is consistent with the 

current language in 13 CFR 

123.3(a)(3)(iii). This change grants SBA 

the flexibility to extend the timeframe 

for submitting declaration requests to 

the Field Operations Center serving the 

jurisdiction. 

SBA is amending the regulatory 

definition of ‘‘contiguous counties’’ in 

13 CFR 123.4, What is a disaster area 

and why is it important?, to increase the 

mileage between counties 

geographically separated by a minor 

body of water from one mile to five 

miles. The geographic separation 

between counties is being extended to 

encompass those counties that are 

separated by minor bodies of water but 

that have physical and economic 

connections and commerce needs with 

the primary county. SBA reviewed 

disaster areas separated by water and 

determined that the current one-mile 

limit is too restrictive. Increasing the 

geographic separation between counties 

to 5 miles will enable disaster assistance 

to reach a broader area. The additional 

mileage removes the barriers created by 

wide rivers, such as the Arkansas, 

Colorado, Columbia, Mississippi, 

Missouri, Neuse, Ohio, Platte, Red, St. 

Lawrence, Susquehanna, Tennessee, 

and Yellowstone rivers. This increase 

also removes the barriers created by 

other bodies of water such as smaller 

lakes and bays. 

This rule also revises the definition of 

‘‘contiguous’’ to state that individual 

islands of geographically isolated island 

chains are contiguous to each other. 

These islands are unique, because they 

are isolated from the mainland and 

other direct commerce hubs. The 

revised definition states that contiguous 

island chains include, but are not 

limited to, Hawai’i, the U.S. Virgin 

Islands, and the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands. Under the 

current regulation, these islands are not 

considered contiguous to each other 

because the separation between them is 

more than one mile. However, all of the 

counties within these island chains are 

economically reliant on each other for 

trade and commerce and all are affected 

by a disaster that impacts one particular 

island/county. 

III. Justification for Direct Final Rule 

In general, SBA publishes a rule for 

public comment before issuing a final 

rule in accordance with the 

Administrative Procedure Act. 5 U.S.C. 

553. The Administrative Procedure Act 

provides an exception to this standard 

rulemaking process, however, where an 

agency finds good cause to adopt a rule 

without prior public participation. 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). The good cause 

requirement is satisfied when prior 

public participation is impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. Agencies typically utilize direct 

final rulemakings for routine, noncontroversial regulatory actions that are 

unlikely to receive adverse comments. 

In direct final rulemaking, an agency 

publishes a final rule with a statement 

that the rule will go into effect unless 

the agency receives significant adverse 

comment within a specified period. 

Significant adverse comments are 

comments that provide strong 

justifications why the rule should not be 

adopted or for changing the rule. If the 

agency receives no significant adverse 

comment in response to the direct final 

rule, the rule will go into effect without 

further action. If the agency receives 

significant adverse comment, the agency 

will withdraw the direct final rule and 

may instead issue a proposed 

rulemaking. SBA has determined that 

the regulatory changes addressed in this 

direct final rulemaking are routine, noncontroversial, and not likely to result in 

significant adverse comments. 

Compliance With Executive Orders 

12866, 12988, 13132, 13175, 13563, 

14094 the Congressional Review Act (5 

U.S.C. 801–808), Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C., Ch. 35), and the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601–612) 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563 and 

14094 

SBA is issuing this direct final 

rulemaking in conformance with 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

14094. Executive Orders 12866 and 

13563 direct agencies to assess all costs 

and benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. Executive Order 

14094 reaffirms, supplements, and 

updates Executive Order 12866 and 

further directs agencies to solicit and 

consider input from a wide range of 

affected and interested parties through a 

variety of means. The Office of 

Management and Budget has 

determined that this rule does not 

constitute a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866, as 

amended by Executive Order 14094. 

SBA has developed this rule in a 

manner consistent with these 

requirements and thoroughly examined 

the costs and benefits as well as 

availability of regulatory alternatives 

associated with its implementation. 

Executive Order 12988 

This action meets applicable 

standards set forth in sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. The action does not have 

preemptive effect or retroactive effect. 

Executive Order 13132 

This rule does not have federalism 

implications as defined in Executive 

Order 13132. It will not have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in the 

Executive Order. As such it does not 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

assessment. 

Executive Order 13175 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

Tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian Tribes, 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian Tribes and no 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

Indian Tribal governments nor any rules 

with Tribal implications that preempts 

Tribal law. 

Congressional Review Act 

This rule has been determined not to 

meet the criteria set forth in 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). SBA will submit the rule to 

Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office consistent with 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
91538 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

the Congressional Review Act’s 

requirements. 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. Ch. 

35 

SBA has determined that this rule 

does not impose additional reporting or 

recordkeeping requirements under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., 

Chapter 35. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 

5 U.S.C. 601–612, generally requires 

that when an agency issues a proposed 

rule, or a final rule pursuant to section 

553(b) of the APA or another law, the 

agency must prepare a regulatory 

flexibility analysis that meets the 

requirements of the RFA and publish 

such analysis in the Federal Register. 

5 U.S.C. 603, 604. 

Rules that are exempt from notice and 

comment are also exempt from the RFA 

requirements, including conducting a 

regulatory flexibility analysis, such as 

when—among other exceptions—the 

agency for good cause finds that notice 

and public procedure are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. SBA Office of Advocacy Guide: 

How to Comply with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, Ch.1. p.9. Since this rule 

is exempt from notice and comment, 

SBA is not required to conduct a 

regulatory flexibility analysis. 

List of Subjects in 13 CFR Part 123 

Disaster assistance, Loan mitigation, 

Loan programs—physical disaster 

(home, business) and economic injury 

disaster (business). 

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, the SBA amends 13 CFR part 

123 as follows: 

PART 123—DISASTER LOAN 

PROGRAM 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 123 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 632, 634(b)(6), 636(b), 

636(d), 657n, and 9009. 

■ 2. Revise § 123.2 to read as follows: 

§ 123.2 What are disaster loans and 

disaster declarations? 

(a) SBA offers low interest, fixed rate 

loans to disaster survivors, enabling 

them to repair or replace property 

damaged or destroyed in declared 

disasters. It also offers such loans to 

affected small businesses to help them 

recover from economic injury caused by 

such disasters. SBA also offers interim 

guaranteed disaster loans, in 

participation with financial institutions, 

to affected small businesses (‘‘IDAP 

loans’’). 

(b) Disaster declarations are official 

notices recognizing that specific 

geographic areas have been damaged by 

floods and other acts of nature, riots, 

civil disorders, or industrial accidents 

such as oil spills. These disasters are 

sudden events which cause severe 

physical damage, and do not include 

slower physical occurrences such as 

shoreline erosion or gradual land 

settling. However, for purposes of 

economic injury disaster loans only, 

they do include droughts and below 

average water levels in the Great Lakes 

or on any body of water in the United 

States that supports commerce by small 

businesses. Sudden events that cause 

substantial economic injury may be 

disasters even if they do not cause 

physical damage to a survivor’s 

property. Past examples include ocean 

conditions causing significant 

displacement (major ocean currents) or 

closure (toxic algae blooms) of 

customary fishing waters, as well as 

contamination of food or other products 

for human consumption from 

unforeseeable and unintended events 

beyond the control of the survivors. 

■ 3. Amend § 123.3 by revising (a)(3)(i) 

and (iii), (a)(5), (a)(6) introductory text, 

and (b) to read as follows: 

§ 123.3 How are disaster declarations 

made? 

(a) * * * 

(3) * * * 

(i) In any county or other smaller 

political subdivision of a State or U.S. 

territory, at least 25 homes or 25 

businesses, or a combination of at least 

25 homes, businesses, or other eligible 

institutions, each sustain uninsured 

losses of 40 percent or more of the 

estimated fair replacement value or predisaster fair market value of the 

damaged property, whichever is lower; 

or 

* * * * * 

(iii) The Governor of the State or the 

Chief Executive of the Indian Tribal 

government in which the disaster 

occurred submits a written request to 

SBA for a physical disaster declaration 

by SBA. This request should be 

delivered to the Disaster Assistance 

Field Operations Center serving the 

jurisdiction within 60 days of the date 

of the disaster. 

* * * * * 

(5) SBA makes an economic injury 

declaration in reliance on a state 

certification that at least five small 

business concerns in a disaster area 

have suffered substantial economic 

injury as a result of the disaster and are 

in need of financial assistance not 

otherwise available on reasonable terms. 

The state certification must be signed by 

the Governor, must specify the county 

or counties or other political 

subdivision in which the disaster 

occurred, and should be delivered (with 

supporting documentation) to the 

Disaster Assistance Field Operations 

Center serving the jurisdiction within 

120 days of the disaster occurrence. 

When a Governor certifies with respect 

to a drought or to below average water 

levels, the supporting documentation 

must include findings which show that 

conditions during the incident period 

meet or exceed the U.S. Drought 

Monitor (USDM) standard of ‘‘severe’’ 

(Intensity level D–2 to D–4). The USDM 

may be found at https://droughtmonitor.

unl.edu/. With respect to below average 

water levels, the supplementary 

information accompanying the 

certification must include findings 

which establish long-term average water 

levels based on recorded historical data, 

show that current water levels are below 

long-term average levels, and 

demonstrate that economic injury has 

occurred as a direct result of the low 

water levels. Not later than 30 days after 

SBA receives a certification by a 

Governor, it shall respond in writing 

with its decision and its reasons. 

(6) SBA makes a physical disaster 

declaration in a rural area (rural disaster 

declaration) upon request from the 

Governor of the State or the Chief 

Executive of the Indian Tribal 

government in which the rural area is 

located. Rural area means any county or 

other political subdivision of a State, the 

District of Columbia, or a territory of the 

United States that is designated as a 

rural area by the Bureau of the Census. 

The following conditions must be met: 

* * * * * 

(b) SBA publishes notice of any 

disaster declaration in the Federal 

Register. The published notice will 

identify the kinds of assistance 

available, the date and nature of the 

disaster, and the deadline and location 

for filing loan applications. 

Additionally, SBA will use the local 

media to inform potential loan 

applicants where to obtain loan 

applications and otherwise to assist 

disaster survivors in applying for 

disaster loans. SBA will accept 

applications after the announced 

deadline only when SBA determines 

that the late filing resulted from 

substantial causes beyond the control of 

the applicant. 

■ 4. Revise § 123.4 to read as follows: 

§ 123.4 What is a disaster area and why is 

it important? 

Each disaster declaration defines the 

geographical areas affected by the 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 20, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 91539 

disaster. Only those survivors located in 

the declared disaster area are eligible to 

apply for SBA disaster loans. When the 

President declares a major disaster, the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

defines the disaster area. In major 

disasters, economic injury disaster loans 

and IDAP loans may be made for 

survivors in contiguous counties or 

other political subdivisions, provided, 

however that with respect to major 

disasters which authorize public 

assistance only, SBA shall not make 

economic injury disaster or IDAP loans 

in counties contiguous to the disaster 

area. Except for rural disaster 

declarations (as defined in § 123.3), 

disaster declarations issued by SBA 

include contiguous counties for both 

physical, economic injury and, in some 

cases IDAP assistance. Rural disaster 

declarations do not include assistance 

for contiguous counties. Contiguous 

counties or other political subdivisions 

are those land areas which abut the land 

area of the declared disaster area 

without geographic separation other 

than by a minor body of water, not to 

exceed five miles between the land 

areas of such counties. The individual 

islands of geographically isolated island 

chains, including Hawai’i, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth 

of the Northern Mariana Islands, are 

also designated as contiguous to each 

other. When SBA issues an economic 

injury disaster declaration in response 

to a determination of an emergency 

involving Federal primary responsibility 

by the President, the disaster area shall 

include each State or subdivision 

thereof (including counties) included in 

the President’s emergency 

determination. 

■ 5. Revise § 123.503 to read as follows: 

§ 123.503 When can you apply for a 

Military Reservist EIDL? 

Your small business can apply for a 

Military Reservist EIDL any time 

beginning on the date the essential 

employee receives notice of expected 

call-up and ending one year after the 

date the essential employee is 

discharged or released from active 

service. The Associate Administrator for 

the Office of Disaster Recovery and 

Resilience (AA/ODR&R) or designee 

may extend the one-year limit by no 

more than one additional year after 

finding extraordinary or unforeseeable 

circumstances.
