SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For SBA financial assistance programs, SBA
Form 413 Personal Financial Statement (PFS) collects information
regarding the assets and liabilities of certain owners, officers and
guarantors of the small business applicant benefiting from such
assistance and is used when analyzing the applicant's repayment
abilities or creditworthiness. SBA's Surety Bond Guaranty Program uses
the Form 413 PFS information during the claim recovery process. The
information is also collected from applicants and participants in SBA's
8(a) Business Development (BD) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)
Program certification process to determine
[[Page 3980]]
whether they meet the economic disadvantage requirements of the
program.
All program offices use the same Form 413. SBA plans to revise and
clarify the instructions for the Form 413 to ensure the public will be
aware of the specific submission process for each program office. SBA
will update the Form 413 to include recent rule and policy updates
related to its thresholds for inflation. Lastly, the Form 413 may
undergo additional formatting changes to make it easier to address
mandatory Federal government 508 accessibility compliance.
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

whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information.
