To amend the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 to allow certain
premier certified lenders to elect to maintain an alternative loss reserve.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 24, 2002
Mr. DOOLITTLE introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Small Business
A BILL
To amend the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 to
allow certain premier certified lenders to elect to main-
tain an alternative loss reserve.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Premier Certified
Lenders Program Improvement Act of 2002’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Premier Certified Lenders Program
(PCLP) established under section 508 of the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 697e)
has been very successful in helping small businesses
expand.
(2) Increasing the number of premier certified
lenders will allow the Government to make available
more resources to small businesses even as the Small
Business Administration downsizes.
(3) The PCLP requires premier certified lend-
ers to set aside unnecessarily large amounts in loss
reserve accounts.
(4) Requiring premier certified lenders to main-
tain unnecessarily large loss reserve accounts is inef-
ficient and limits the ability of lenders to serve addi-
tional small businesses and of new lenders to join
the PCLP.
(5) Premier certified lenders should be required
to maintain loss reserve accounts in amounts com-
mensurate with the risk of loss associated with the
PCLP loan portfolio of the lender.
(6) Changing the PCLP to require that premier
certified lenders maintain loss reserve accounts in
amounts which reflect the risk of loss associated
with the loans of the PCLP will protect taxpayers
and improve the ability of the PCLP to help small
businesses create economic development.
Foundation enter into an agreement that if the land 
described in paragraph (3) is sold, leased, or other-
wise conveyed by the Foundation. 
(A) the Foundation shall sell, lease, or oth-
erwise convey the land for fair market value; 
(B) the Foundation shall contribute 85 per-
cent of the gross proceeds from the sale, lease, or 
conveyance of the land to the special account; 
(C) with respect to land identified on the 
map entitled ‘‘Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, Land 
Sales Map’’, numbered 7306A, and dated May 
1980, the proceeds from the sale, lease, or convey-
ance of the land identified on the map contrib-
uted to the special account by the Foundation 
under subparagraph (B) shall be used by the 
Secretary of Agriculture to acquire environ-
mentally sensitive land in the Lake Tahoe Basin 
under section 3 of Public Law 96–586 (94 Stat. 
3383); 
(D) the Foundation shall contribute 5 per-
cent of the gross proceeds from the sale, lease, or 
conveyance of the land to the State of Nevada for 
use in the general education program of the 
State; and
tributions to its loss reserve as are nec-
essary to ensure that the amount of the
loss reserve of the company is—
‘‘(I) not less than $25,000; and
‘‘(II) sufficient, as determined by
a third-party auditor employed by the
company, to protect the Federal Gov-
ernment from the risk of loss associ-
ated with the portfolio of PCLP loans
of the company.
‘‘(C) QUALIFIED
HIGH
LOSS
RESERVE
PCL.—The term ‘qualified high loss reserve
PCL’ means, with respect to any calendar year,
any company designated as a premier certified
lender, if the Administrator determines that—
‘‘(i) the amount of the loss reserve of
the company is not less than $25,000;
‘‘(ii) the company has established a
process for analyzing the risk of loss asso-
ciated with its portfolio of PCLP loans and
for grading each PCLP loan made by the
company on the basis of the risk of loss as-
sociated with such loan; and
‘‘(iii)(I) in the case of a company
which was a qualified high loss reserve
PCL with respect to the preceding cal-
endar year, a third-party auditor employed
by the company has certified during each
calendar quarter of such year that the
amount of the loss reserve of the company
is sufficient to protect the Federal Govern-
ment from the risk of loss associated with
the portfolio of PCLP loans of the com-
pany; and
‘‘(II) in the case of any other com-
pany, a third-party auditor employed by
the company has certified during the pre-
ceding 90 days that the loss reserve of the
company is sufficient to protect the Fed-
eral Government from the risk of loss asso-
ciated with the portfolio of PCLP loans of
the company.
‘‘(D) PCLP LOAN.—For purposes of this
paragraph, the term ‘PCLP loan’ means any
loan guaranteed under this section.
‘‘(E) CALENDAR QUARTER.—For purposes
of this paragraph, the term ‘calendar quarter’
means—
‘‘(i) the period which begins on Janu-
ary 1 and ends on March 31 of each year;
