SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Disaster Loan Program is an SBA
financing program authorized under the Small Business Act of 1953, 15
U.S.C. 636 et seq. SBA provides low-interest disaster loans to help
businesses and homeowners recover from declared disasters. The
information collection that is approved under OMB Control Number 3245-
0018 facilitates the ongoing administration of the Disaster Loan
Program. This information collection currently consists of SBA Form 5C,
in both English and Spanish, titled Disaster Home and Business (Sole
Proprietor) Loan Application. SBA recognizes that this information
collection needs to be modernized to meet the needs of homeowners and
small business applicants during their recovery after a disaster. As a
result, SBA intends to make revisions to this information collection
that would streamline the process. These form revisions will result in
greater clarity and understanding for victims applying for assistance.
SBA Form 5C will be updated and some fields may be moved over to SBA
Form 5, Disaster Business Loan Application to incorporate all business
types including sole proprietors. Questions on SBA Form 5C will be
reorganized and simplified, and as needed other questions may be added
based on the Agency's recent experience with the Coronavirus pandemic.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is requesting comments on (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the agency to properly

the use of automated techniques or other forms of information
