SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Small Business Administration's Covid
EIDL Servicing Center Borrower Request Forms provide the borrower with
easily completed fillable forms that can be emailed or mailed to SBA's
Covid EIDL Servicing Center. Covid EIDL borrowers will use these forms
to request servicing actions such as seeking financial assistance in
the form of a subordination, deferment, re-amortization, accommodation,
change in ownership, change in collateral, or relocation of their
business. The information collected helps the Agency to make
eligibility assessments and approvals for servicing actions. It also
provides the borrower a road map to follow when requesting a
modification of their loan.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is requesting comments on (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the agency to properly perform its
functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (c) whether
there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of
automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d)
whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information.
