SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Disaster Loan Program is an SBA

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-
0017 facilitates the ongoing administration of the Disaster Loan 
Program. This information collection currently consists of SBA Form 5 
titled Disaster Business 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 5 will be updated to incorporate all 
business types including sole proprietors. Questions on SBA Form 5 will 
be reorganized and simplified, and as needed other questions may be 
added based on the Agency's recent experience with the Coronavirus 
pandemic.
