a new temporary 7(a) program titled the ``Paycheck Protection Program''
(``PPP'') to small businesses, certain non-profit organizations,
veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns, independent
contractors and self-employed individuals adversely impacted by the
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Emergency. This authority initially

Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act), Public Law
116-260, renewed SBA's authority to make PPP loans until March 31,
2021, and added authority for second draw PPP loans under Sec.

Any lender that has made PPP loans can use this information
collection (SBA Form 3512) to request (1) reinstatement of a PPP loan
that was cancelled in SBA's ETRAN system due to the lender's data input
error, and/or (2) correction of the lender's data input error in the
SBA Loan Approval Amount of a PPP loan on ETRAN or the Paycheck
Protection Platform, subject to availability of funds. The form
contains examples of the types of lender requests for reinstatement or
correction that can be submitted on the form. SBA will rely on the
information submitted on this form to evaluate the lender's request.
SBA obtained emergency approval for this form from OMB which expires on
December 31, 2021.
