Small Business Administration SBA's Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) transfers considerable authority and autonomy to Premier Certified Development Companies (Premier CDCs). The PCLP forms (Forms 2233 and 2234) collect loan information to assist the agency in carrying-out its lender, portfolio and program oversight responsibilities. Form 2233 will collect loan loss reserve information to ensure Premier CDC compliance with statutory requirements. SBA will use Form 2234 to approve loan eligibility and track portfolio performance.
This information collection consists of SBA Form 2233 and SBA Form 2234, Parts A, B, and C. A statutory change on December 22, 2015 in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, made debt refinance a permanent part of the 504 loan program. Slight revisions to the currently approved forms are required to reinstate the debt refinance program requirements that were previously removed due to the expiration of the authority for that program in 2012. SBA is requesting emergency approval of this submission to enable the agency to re-establish the program as expeditiously as possible. The justification for this request is outlined in the letter uploaded as a supplementary document to this Supporting Statement.
US Code:
15 USC 697
Name of Law: 504 and 7(a) Loan Program
There has been a decrease in the number of burden hours since the last submission due to a decline in the number of submissions of Form 2234 Parts A, B, and C.
