(``PPP'') to small businesses, certain non-profit organizations, 
veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns, independent

expired on August 8, 2020. The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small 
Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act), Public Law 
116-260, renewed SBA's authority to make PPP loans until March 31, 
2021, and added authority for second draw PPP loans under Sec.

extended until June 30, 2021, by the PPP Extension Act of 2021, Public 
Law 117-6.
    Any lender that has made PPP loans can use this information 
collection (SBA Form 3512) to request (1) reinstatement of a PPP loan 
that was cancelled in SBA's ETRAN system due to the lender's data input 
error, and/or (2) correction of the lender's data input error in the 
SBA Loan Approval Amount of a PPP loan on ETRAN or the Paycheck 
Protection Platform, subject to availability of funds. The form 
contains examples of the types of lender requests for reinstatement or 
correction that can be submitted on the form. SBA will rely on the 
information submitted on this form to evaluate the lender's request. 
SBA obtained emergency approval for this form from OMB which expires on 
December 31, 2021.
