Lenders and CDCs also will be expected 

to certify on the applicable eligibility 

checklist that no loan proceeds will be 

used for a restricted use. In addition, on 

7(a) Recovery Act loan guaranties it will 

be the responsibility of the borrower to 

certify that it will not use any working 

capital loan proceeds for any restricted 

use. For all Recovery Act loan 

guaranties for the construction, 

acquisition or renovation of any 

business that has a restricted use, it will 

be the responsibility of the borrower to 

certify that it has obtained alternate 

funding which may come from the 

borrower’s equity injection to pay the 

costs reasonably and in good faith 

estimated to be allocable to the 

restricted use. Failure by a lender to 

accurately identify a restricted use for a 

Recovery Act loan and remit 

appropriate fees within 90 days of loan 

approval or within 90 days of 

publication of this Notice, whichever is 

later, may result in SBA’s denial of 

liability on the loan. Please refer to SBA 

Policy Notice 5000–1105 for further 

guidance on restricted uses of Recovery 

Act loan proceeds. 

For 7(a) loans, the eligibility 

questionnaire and checklists for the 

Standard 7(a), Small/Rural Lender 

Advantage, PLP, SBA Express and Pilot 

Loan Programs have been modified to 

include an additional statement that, for 

loans made under the Recovery Act, no 

proceeds will be used for a restricted 

use. (The Standard 7(a) Eligibility

Lenders, CDCs, and/or borrowers may 

be subject to additional reporting or 

recordkeeping requirements in 

connection with loans under the 

Recovery Act. Lenders completing Form

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background Information 

America’s financial crisis has created 

adverse conditions that are affecting 

small businesses, including a lack of 

liquidity in the lending system, a 

reluctance of many lenders to extend 

new loans, tightened credit standards, 

weaker finances at small businesses, 

and uncertainty about taking on new 

debt on the part of many entrepreneurs. 

As a result, lending by SBA program 

participants has significantly declined 

and SBA’s ability to ensure small 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
27200 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 108 / Monday, June 8, 2009 / Notices 

business access to capital has been 

limited. 

On February 17, 2009, the President 

signed the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the 

‘‘Recovery Act’’) (Pub. L. 111–5, 123 

Stat. 115) to promote economic recovery 

by preserving and creating jobs, and to 

assist those most affected by the severe 

economic conditions facing the nation. 

The SBA received funding and authority 

through the Recovery Act to modify 

existing loan programs and establish 

new loan programs to significantly 

stimulate small business lending. It is 

expected that SBA’s actions will 

increase access to affordable credit for 

small businesses through the Agency’s 

7(a) and 504 loan programs, unfreeze 

the secondary market for SBA 

guaranteed loans, help small businesses 

struggling with existing debt, and allow 

greater investment in high-growth small 

businesses. 

To this end, Section 502 of the 

Recovery Act temporarily permits SBA 

to guarantee up to 90 percent of 7(a) 

loans, except for loans made under the 

SBA Express program. SBA Express 

loans will continue to have a maximum 

guaranty of 50 percent. Providing a 

higher guaranty will provide an 

incentive to lenders to expand their 

SBA lending and make loans to 

America’s small businesses with 

confidence. A more detailed discussion 

of Section 502 of the Recovery Act 

follows. 

II. Comments 

The intent of the Recovery Act is that 

SBA provide relief to America’s small 

businesses as quickly and effectively as 

possible. This along with the current 

economic conditions provided good 

cause for SBA moving forward prior to 

receiving public comments. Although 

Section 502 has been implemented and 

this Notice is effective immediately, 

comments are solicited from interested 

members of the public on all aspects of 

the Notice including the formal 

guidance set forth in the section below. 

These comments must be submitted on 

or before July 8, 2009. The SBA will 

consider these comments and the need 

for making any revisions as a result of 

these comments. 

III. Business Loan Temporary Increase 

in Maximum Guaranty Percentage 

Overview 

The Recovery Act was enacted to 

promote economic recovery by 

preserving and creating jobs, and 

assisting those most impacted by the 

severe economic conditions facing the 

nation. Among the SBA provisions 

contained in the Recovery Act are 

provisions authorizing SBA to 

temporarily permit an increase in the 

maximum guaranty percentage of up to 

90 percent on qualifying small business 

loans. The following outlines the key 

guidance of section 502 of the Recovery 

Act as implemented. 

Applicability Date of the Increase in 

Maximum Guaranty Percentage 

Lenders may request the increase in 

the maximum guaranty percentage of up 

to 90 percent for qualifying small 

business loan applications (or requests 

for loan numbers submitted through 

delegated lender processes, except SBA 

Express) received by SBA on or after 

March 16, 2009. The Recovery Act 

provides that the increase in the 

maximum guaranty percentage will 

sunset on the earlier of February 17, 

2010 or such date as funds made 

available for this purpose are exhausted. 

Depending on loan volume in the 7(a) 

program, SBA estimates that the 

increased guaranty percentage will be 

available through approximately 

December 31, 2009. SBA will notify the 

public when funds made available for 

this purpose are exhausted. The 

increase in the maximum guaranty 

percentage of up to 90 percent provided 

in this Notice temporarily supersedes 

any provision that conflicts in 13 CFR 

120.210. 

Qualifying Small Business Loans 

The Recovery Act defines a 

‘‘qualifying small business loan’’ as 

‘‘any loan to a small business concern 

pursuant to section 7(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636) or title V 

of the Small Business Investment Act of 

1958 (15 U.S.C. 695 and following) 

except for such loans made under 

section 7(a)(31).’’ (Loans made under 

section 7(a)(31) of the Small Business 

Act are loans made under the SBA 

Express program and because these 

loans are excluded from guarantee 

increases under the Recovery Act, they 

will continue to have a maximum 

guaranty of 50 percent.) With the 

exception of loans made under the SBA 

Express Program, SBA will consider any 

7(a) loan, including Pilot Loan Program 

loans made under the Patriot Express, 

Community Express, Export Express 

and Gulf Opportunity (GO) Loan 

programs, to be a qualifying small 

business loan. 

Qualified Borrower 

The Recovery Act also defines the 

term ‘‘Qualified Borrower.’’ The 

Recovery Act states that a loan 

guarantee may not be made to a small 

business concern ‘‘if an individual who 

is an alien unlawfully present in the 

United States (A) has an ownership 

interest in that concern; or (B) has an 

ownership interest in another concern 

that itself has an ownership interest in 

that concern.’’ (Section 502(c)(1).) SBA 

currently has a process in place to verify 

that an alien with ownership interest in 

a small business applicant is lawfully in 

the United States. This process is set 

forth in SBA’s Standard Operating 

Procedure (SOP) 50 10 5(A), Subpart B, 

Chapter 2. (SBA’s SOP 50 10 5(A) can 

be found at http://www.sba.gov/ 

aboutsba/sbaprograms/elending/reg/ 

index.html.) 

In addition, the eligibility 

questionnaire and checklists for the 

Standard 7(a), Small/Rural Lender 

Advantage (S/RLA), Preferred Lender 

Program (PLP), and Pilot Loan Programs 

have been modified to include an 

additional statement that, for loans 

made under the Recovery Act, no 

individual who is an unauthorized alien 

has an ownership interest in another 

concern that itself has an ownership 

interest in the applicant. (The Standard 

7(a) Eligibility Questionnaire can be 

found at http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/ 

sbaprograms/elending/lgpc/forms/ 

index.html. The S/RLA eligibility 

checklist (SBA Form 2301–C) can be 

found at http://www.sba.gov/tools/ 

Forms/smallbusinessforms/fsforms/ 

index.html. The PLP Eligibility 

Checklist can be found at http:// 

www.sba.gov/idc/groups/public/ 

documents/sba_program_office/ 

bank_plpchcklist.pdf. The Pilot Loan 

Programs eligibility checklist (SBA 

Form 1920SX, Part C) can be found at 

http://www.sba.gov/tools/Forms/ 

smallbusinessforms/fsforms/ 

index.html.) 

The Recovery Act also states that a 

loan guarantee may not be made under 

this section ‘‘for a loan to any entity 

found, based on a determination by the 

Secretary of Homeland Security or the 

Attorney General to have engaged in a 

pattern or practice of hiring, recruiting 

or referring for a fee, for employment in 

the United States an alien knowing the 

person is an unauthorized alien.’’ 

(Section 502(c)(2).) To help ensure that 

an SBA loan guarantee is not made to 

such an entity, SBA will require each 

small business that receives a loan 

under this Act to certify that the 

business has not been determined by the 

Secretary of the Department of 

Homeland Security or the Attorney 

General to have engaged in a pattern or 

practice of hiring, recruiting or referring 

for a fee for employment in the United 

States an alien knowing the person is an 

unauthorized alien. Version 2009.2 of 

the 7(a) Loan Authorization Boilerplate 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 108 / Monday, June 8, 2009 / Notices 27201 

is available and incorporates this 

certification for Standard 7(a), Certified 

Lender Program (CLP), S/RLA, and PLP 

loans. For any Pilot Loan Program loans, 

the lender will be responsible for adding 

this requirement to the lender’s 

authorization. (The Authorizations may 

be found at http://www.sba.gov/ 

aboutsba/sbaprograms/elending/ 

authorizations/index.html.) 

In addition to providing this 

certification, as with all 7(a) loan 

applications, every proprietor, partner, 

officer, director and owner of 20% or 

more of the applicant must complete a 

Statement of Personal History (SBA 

Form 912). (SBA Form 912 can be found 

at http://www.sba.gov/tools/Forms/ 

smallbusinessforms/fsforms/ 

index.html.) This form requires the 

disclosure of whether: (1) The 

individual is presently under 

indictment, on parole or probation; (2) 

has ever been charged with and/or 

arrested for any criminal offense other 

than a minor motor vehicle violation, 

including offenses which have been 

dismissed, discharged or not 

prosecuted; and (3) has ever been 

convicted, placed on pretrial diversion, 

or placed on any form of probation, 

including adjudication withheld 

pending probation, for any criminal 

offense other than a minor vehicle 

violation. Thus, any violations of 

immigration laws would be required to 

be disclosed on this form. 

Funding 

Lenders may request the increased 

guaranty percentage of up to 90 percent 

for qualifying small business loan 

applications (or requests for loan 

numbers submitted under the delegated 

lending processes, except SBA Express) 

received by SBA on or after March 16, 

2009. The increased guaranty 

percentage of up to 90 percent will be 

available until the earlier of February 

17, 2010 or such date as funds made 

available for this purpose are exhausted. 

Depending on loan volume in the 7(a) 

program, SBA estimates that the 

increased guaranty percentage will be 

available through approximately 

December 31, 2009. SBA will notify the 

public when funds made available for 

this purpose are exhausted. 

Use of Proceeds Restriction 

Section 1604 of the Recovery Act 

provides that none of the funds 

appropriated or otherwise made 

available through the Recovery Act may 

be used by any State or local 

government, or any private entity, for 

any casino or other gambling 

establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf 

course, or swimming pool. For 

otherwise eligible loans to these small 

businesses or for these uses, lenders 

may continue to submit applications or 

requests for loan numbers in accordance 

with SOP 50 10 5(A), with a maximum 

guaranty percentage of 75/85 percent, 

depending on the loan amount, and pay 

all applicable fees. For Recovery Act 

loan guaranties, it will be the 

responsibility of the lender to document 

in the credit memorandum that the 

applicant’s use of proceeds does not 

include a restricted use or, if there is a 

restricted use component, the lender 

must document the other resources that 

the borrower has obtained to pay the 

costs allocable to the restricted use 

component. Lenders also will be 

expected to certify on the applicable 

eligibility checklist that no loan 

proceeds will be used for a restricted 

use. In addition, it will be the 

responsibility of the borrower to certify 

that it will not use any working capital 

loan proceeds for any restricted use. For 

all Recovery Act loan guaranties for the 

construction, acquisition or renovation 

of any business that has a restricted use, 

it will be the responsibility of the 

borrower to certify that it has obtained 

alternate funding which may come from 

the borrower’s equity injection to pay 

the costs reasonably and in good faith 

estimated to be allocable to the 

restricted use. Failure by a lender to 

accurately identify a restricted use for a 

Recovery Act loan and reduce the 

guaranty percentage and remit 

appropriate fees within 90 days of loan 

approval or within 90 days of 

publication of this Notice, whichever is 

later, may result in SBA’s denial of 

liability on the loan. Please refer to SBA 

Policy Notice 5000–1105 for further 

guidance on restricted uses of Recovery 

Act loan proceeds. 

The eligibility questionnaire and 

checklists for the Standard 7(a), S/RLA, 

PLP, and Pilot Loan Programs have been 

modified to include an additional 

statement that, for loans made under the 

Recovery Act, no proceeds will be used 

for a restricted use. (The Standard 7(a) 

Eligibility Questionnaire can be found at 

http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/ 

sbaprograms/elending/lgpc/forms/ 

index.html. The S/RLA eligibility 

checklist (SBA Form 2301–C) can be

Programs eligibility checklist (SBA 

Form 1920SX, Part C) can be found at 

http://www.sba.gov/tools/Forms/ 

smallbusinessforms/fsforms/ 

index.html.) 

Additional Requirements 

All other provisions of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636) applicable 

to the 7(a) loan program and regulations 

promulgated thereunder that are not 

superseded by the relevant provisions of 

the Recovery Act will continue to apply 

to loans made under the Recovery Act. 

Lenders and borrowers may be subject 

to additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements in connection with loans 

under the Recovery Act. 

Cancellation and Resubmission of Loans 

Approved Prior to March 16, 2009 

The purpose of the Recovery Act is to 

stimulate new lending. A loan cancelled 

and then resubmitted to obtain the 

increased guaranty percentage does not 

stimulate new lending and, therefore, is 

ineligible for Recovery Act treatment. 

Therefore, SBA will not permit 

cancelled 7(a) loans, which were 

approved prior to March 16, 2009 (the 

implementation date of Section 502 of 

the Recovery Act) to be resubmitted as 

Recovery Act loans eligible for a 

maximum guaranty percentage of up to 

90%, unless the resubmitted loan is not 

a replacement for the original loan, as 

determined by SBA on a case by case 

basis. 

Requests for a determination that it is 

not merely a replacement loan must be 

submitted by the lender to the Standard 

7(a) Loan Guaranty Processing Center. 

The request will be reviewed and a 

recommendation will be forwarded to 

the Director/Office of Financial 

Assistance for approval. In making a 

case by case determination on 

resubmitted loans, the existence of one 

or more of the following factors will 

make it more likely that SBA will 

approve the request: (i) The loan was 

cancelled for reasons other than the 

passage of the Recovery Act (e.g., the 

loan was cancelled because the location 

for the new business was not available; 

subsequently another location became 

available and a new loan was approved); 

(ii) the new loan is for a different 

purpose (e.g., the original loan was for 

working capital but the new loan is for 

the acquisition of real estate); (iii) the 

new loan is likely to achieve additional 

economic stimulus (e.g., the previous 

loan would have preserved jobs but the 

new loan will also create jobs); or (iv) 

the new loan could not be made but for 

the provisions of the Recovery Act (e.g., 

the loan was cancelled because the 

borrower failed to meet a key provision 

(e.g., appraisal value) in the original 

loan authorization and, therefore, the 

lender would not make the loan now 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
27202 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 108 / Monday, June 8, 2009 / Notices 

but for the higher guaranty level). Based 

on past cancellation experience in 

SBA’s loan programs, SBA expects that 

only a limited number of borrowers 

with cancelled/resubmitted loans will 

meet the criteria for a new loan with a 

higher guaranty percentage. 

Changes to all loans approved prior to 

March 16, 2009, including loan 

increases, will be processed as changes 

to the original loan in accordance with 

SBA’s standard practice. 

SBA will provide further guidance as 

necessary, through SBA notices 

published on SBA’s Web site, http:// 

www.sba.gov. 

Questions on the increased maximum 

guaranty percentage may be directed to 

the Lender Relations Specialist in the
