Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 122 / Monday, June 27, 2022 / Notices 38251 

7Through SBA’s Delegated Authority programs, 

qualified lenders may process SBA loans with 

further autonomy and reduced paperwork than 

through regular SBA loan processing. 

8Other Reviews may include, for example, 

Secondary Market loan reviews, reviews of lender 

self-assessments, or Agreed Upon Procedures 

Reviews performed by third-party practitioners or 

an independent office within the Lender to which 

SBA and the Lender agree, that follow a review 

protocol as prescribed or approved by SBA. 

documents and information on the 

Lender’s financial condition, internal 

controls, and risk mitigation. SBA also 

requests information on higher risk 

loans, payments related to loans in loan 

sample, fidelity insurance, credit 

scoring model validation and lender 

self-testing for compliance with SBA 

Loan Program Requirements. SBA 

Supervised Lender safety and 

soundness examinations include review 

of capital, earnings, and liquidity in 

accordance with 13 CFR 120.1050(b) 

and accordingly, SBA requests 

information on the lender’s financing, 

asset account calculations, and dividend 

policy. Further detail on the information 

that SBA requests for SBA Supervised 

Lender examinations is contained in 

SBA Supervised Lender Safety and 

Soundness Examination/Full Review 

Information Request. This document is 

available upon request. 

C. CDC Supplemental Information 

SBA is also the primary Federal 

regulator for CDCs. SBA guarantees 

100% of 504 program debentures. 

Therefore, SBA also requests additional 

information to prudently oversee CDCs, 

as it does for SBA Supervised Lenders. 

The additional information generally 

requested includes corporate 

governance documents and information 

on Lenders’ financial condition, internal 

controls and risk mitigation practices, 

and the CDC’s plan for investment in 

other local economic development. In 

addition, SBA requests, as applicable, 

information on a CDC’s Premier 

Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) Loan 

Loss Reserve Account and loans that a 

CDC packages for other 7(a) lenders. 

You may request a copy of the CDC 

SMART Analytical Review Information 

Request and CDC SMART Full Review 

Information Request for more details on 

this supplemental information request. 

II. 7(a) Lender and CDC Delegated 

Authority Reviews 

SBA collects information for 

Delegated Authority Reviews 

performed, in general, every two years 

for lenders applying or reapplying to 

SBA’s Delegated Authority Programs. 

Delegated Authority programs include 

for example; the Preferred Lender 

Program (PLP) for 7(a) Lenders and 

Accredited Lender Program (ALP) or 

PCLP for CDCs.7 If a lender is scheduled 

to receive a review or a Safety and 

Soundness Examination during the 

same review cycle as a Delegated 

Authority Review, generally SBA will 

coordinate the timing of the reviews and 

the related information collections to 

lessen the burden. 

For 7(a) delegated authority reviews, 

SBA may request information on (for 

example) organizational changes, staff 

training and experience, lender 

explanation for risk indicators triggered, 

Lender risk mitigation efforts, Lender’s 

financial condition, Lender’s 

deficiencies underlying regulatory 

orders (if applicable and as appropriate), 

and loan sample files (as requested). 

For CDC delegated authority reviews, 

SBA requests corporate governance 

documents and additional information 

on organization/staff, financial 

condition, internal controls and risk 

mitigation. SBA also requests a CDC’s 

policies including its no-adverse-change 

determination, loan reviews, and lender 

explanation for its higher risk metrics. 

For more detail on Delegated 

Authority Review collections, you may 

request a copy of the 7(a) Lender 

Nomination and Renewal for Delegated 

Authority Information Requests and/or 

the ALP/PCLP Renewal Guide and 

Information Request. 

III. Microloan Intermediary Reviews 

For Microloan Program Intermediary 

oversight, SBA District Offices perform 

an annual site visit for active 

Intermediaries. SBA requests 

information, for example, on SBA 

program management and operations 

including organizational chart with 

responsibilities, contact information, 

Promissory notes, and credit policies 

and procedures. SBA primarily reviews 

the Intermediary’s credit administration 

through a loan sample file request. 

Specifics on the information collected 

are contained in SBA’s Microloan 

Intermediary Site Visit/Review 

Information Request document, a copy 

of which is available upon request. 

IV. Other Reviews, Corrective Action 

Plans, and Increased Supervision for 

7(a) Lenders, CDCs, and Intermediaries 

SBA may pose additional information 

requests for its Other Reviews,8

generally of higher risk lenders. For 

example, for 7(a) Lenders under a public 

regulatory order or agreement, SBA may 

request information relating to the status 

of the underlying deficiencies, as 

appropriate, or request loan files for 

SBA to review to mitigate risk before the 

loan can be sold into the secondary 

market. SBA may also conduct reviews 

of higher risk lenders that utilize Lender 

Service Providers or Loan Agents 

requesting information for example on 

fees, service agreements, and activities 

performed. SBA may also request 

corrective action plans from lenders 

following reviews where findings and 

deficiencies are identified. Finally, SBA 

may request additional information of 

lenders under increased supervision. 

However, information requests for 

increased supervision tend to be lender 

specific. 

In general, for information that has 

already been provided by a 7(a) Lender, 

a CDC, or a Microloan Intermediary but 

is unchanged, a lender may certify that 

the information was already provided 

and is unchanged in lieu of resubmitting 

the information. The certification must 

also state to whom and on what date the 

information was provided to SBA. 

Solicitation of Public Comments 

Comments may be submitted on (a) 

whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to properly 

perform its functions; (b) whether the 

burden estimates are accurate; (c) 

whether there are ways to minimize the 

burden, including through the use of 

automated techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) whether 

there are ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information.

1 GRTA notes its name was changed from NCRA 

to GRTA effective March 1, 2022. (GRTA Appl. 2 

n.1.) The proceeding has been recaptioned 

accordingly. 

2 GRTA previously stated that it sought 

discontinuance of NWPY’s operating authority to 

milepost 302.86. (Pet. 2.) However, the Board has 

since found that that the track extending between 

milepost 300.5 and milepost 302.86 is ancillary 

track that was never subject to the agency’s 

regulatory authority. See N. Coast R.R. Auth.— 

Aban. Exemption—in Mendocino, Trinity, & 

Humboldt Cntys., Cal., AB 1305X, slip op. at 6 (STB 

served May 17, 2022). 

3 In a separate docket, GRTA received authority 

to abandon approximately 169.61 miles extending 

between milepost 139.5, near Willits and milepost 

284.1, near Eureka, including appurtenant branch 

lines extending to milepost 267.72 near Carlotta, 

milepost 295.57 near Korblex, and milepost 300.5 

near Samoa. The Board noted, however, that GRTA 

may not consummate the abandonment until all 

operating authority on the Line has been 

terminated. See N. Coast R.R. Auth.—Aban. 

Exemption—in Mendocino, Trinity, & Humboldt 

Cntys., Cal., AB 1305X, slip op. at 4 n.6 (STB served

4According to GRTA, NWPY never provided 

freight rail service or any other operations on the 

Line due to, among other things, an emergency 

order imposed by the Federal Railroad 

Administration prohibiting railroad operations on 

the Line. See Nw. Pac. R.R.; Emergency Ord. to 

Prevent Operation of Trains on Nw. Pac. R.R.’s

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. AB 1313] 

Great Redwood Trail Agency—Adverse 

Discontinuance of Lease & Operating 

Authority—Northwestern Pacific 

Railway Co., in Humboldt, Trinity and 

Mendocino Counties, Cal. 

On June 7, 2022, the Great Redwood 

Trail Agency (GRTA), formerly known 

as North Coast Railroad Authority 

(NCRA),1 filed an application under 49 

U.S.C. 10903 requesting that the Surface 

Transportation Board (the Board) 

authorize the third-party, or ‘‘adverse,’’ 

discontinuance of operating authority 

held by Northwestern Pacific Railway 

Company (NWPY) over a GRTA rail line 

extending from milepost 142.5, at Outlet 

Station, to the end of the line at 

milepost 300.5,2 on the Samoa Branch, 

including the Korblex Branch and the 

Carlotta Branch in Mendocino, Trinity, 

and Humboldt Counties, Cal.3 (the 

Line). The Line traverses U.S. Postal 

Service Zip Codes 95429, 95595, 95454, 

95542, 95560, 95559, 95553, 95571, 

95569, 95565, 95562, 95540, 95551, 

95537, 95564, 95524, 95521, 95519, 

95525, 95501, 95503, 95526, 95514, 

95511, and 95490. 

GRTA explains that it acquired the 

Line in 1992 from the Eureka Southern 

Railroad, see N. Coast R.R. Auth.— 

Acquis. & Operation Exemption— 

Eureka S. R.R., FD 32052 (ICC served 

Apr. 23, 1992), and that, thereafter, 

NWPY sought authority to lease and 

operate the Line, see Nw. Pac. Ry.— 

Lease & Operation Exemption—N. Coast 

R.R. Auth., FD 33998 (STB served Feb. 

6, 2001). GRTA asserts that NWPY’s 

lease terminated in 2005, that NWPY’s 

business status is listed by the 

California secretary of state as 

‘‘forfeited,’’ and that John Darling, 

NWPY’s longtime principal and last 

stated agent for service of process, died 

in 2010.4 Thus, GRTA now seeks 

adverse discontinuance of NWPY’s 

operating authority over the Line. 

In a decision served in this 

proceeding on March 4, 2022, GRTA 

was granted exemptions from several 

statutory provisions as well as waivers 

of certain Board regulations that the 

Board concluded were inapplicable and 

unneeded in connection with GRTA’s 

anticipated application. 

According to GRTA, the Line may 

contain federally granted rights-of-way, 

and any documentation in GRTA’s 

possession will be made available 

promptly to those requesting it. GRTA’s 

entire case for discontinuance was filed 

with the application. 

The interests of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line Railroad— 

Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch 

Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & 

Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 

91 (1979). 

Any interested person may file 

comments concerning the proposed 

adverse discontinuance or protests 

(including protestant’s entire opposition 

case) by July 22, 2022. Persons who may 

oppose the proposed adverse 

discontinuance but who do not wish to 

participate fully in the process by 

submitting verified statements of 

witnesses containing detailed evidence 

should file comments. Persons opposing 

the proposed adverse discontinuance 

who wish to participate actively and 

fully in the process should file a protest, 

observing the filing, service, and content 

requirements of 49 CFR 1152.25. 

GRTA’s reply is due by August 8, 2022. 

All pleadings, referring to Docket No. 

AB 1313, must be filed with the Surface 

Transportation Board via e-filing on the 

Board’s website or in writing addressed 

to 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 

20423–0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on GRTA’s 

representative, Charles H. Montange, 

Law Offices of Charles H. Montange, 

426 NW 162nd Street, Seattle, WA 

98177. Except as otherwise set forth in 

49 CFR part 1152, every document filed 

with the Board must be served on all 

parties to this adverse discontinuance 

proceeding. 49 CFR 1104.12(a).
