SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, authorized SBA to guarantee loans made
by banks or other financial institutions under a temporary program
titled the ``Paycheck Protection Program'' (PPP). These loans were
available to eligible small businesses, certain non-profit
organizations, veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns,
independent contractors, and self-employed individuals adversely
impacted by the COVID-19 Emergency. SBA's authority to guarantee PPP
loans expired on August 8, 2020. On December 27, 2020, SBA received
reauthorization under the Economic Aid Act, Public Law 116-260, to
resume guaranteeing PPP loans through March 31, 2021. The Economic Aid
Act also allowed certain eligible borrowers that previously received a
PPP loan to receive a second draw PPP loan (``Second Draw PPP Loan
Program'') and amended certain other PPP statutory provisions. On March
11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act, Public Law 117-2, was enacted,
amending various PPP statutory provisions. On March 30, 2021, the PPP
Extension Act of 2021 was enacted, extending the SBA's PPP program
authority through June 30, 2021.
This information collection is used for the Second Draw PPP Loan
Program. Since the initial approval of this information collection on
January 8, 2021, the information collection has been amended twice to
meet the ever-evolving needs of the PPP program, as necessitated by a
statutory program amendments, public feedback, or other factors. The
information collection is currently approved under the emergency
procedures authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3507(j) and 5 CFR 1320.13; this
approval is set to expire on September 30, 2021.
Although SBA's program authority has expired, this information
collection may still be needed in connection with pending litigation.
Therefore, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, SBA is
publishing this notice as a prerequisite to seeking OMB's approval to
use this information collection beyond September 30, 2021. There are no
proposed changes to any of the forms.

Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA invites the public to submit comments, including specific and
detailed suggestions on ways to improve the collection and reduce the
burden on respondents. Commenters should also address (i) whether the
information collection is necessary for the proper performance of SBA's
functions, including whether it has any practical utility; (ii) the
accuracy of the estimated burdens; (iii) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) the
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information collection burden on those who
are required to respond.
