The amendments to this information collection reflect changes that SBA recently made to its Standard Operating Procedures governing the 7(a) and 504 loan programs and which became effective January 1, 2014. Potentially, additional changes to these same forms will be necessary when the Agency issues its final rule also governing the 7(a) and 504 loan programs (RIN 3245-0348).
