SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA is contemplating a new 7(a) Working
Capital Pilot (WCP) Program within SBA's 7(a) Loan Programs. As part of
the implementation of this program SBA has created a new addendum to
SBA Form 1919, SBA Form 2534, ``7(a) Working Capital Pilot Program
Addendum to SBA Form 1919'', to collect specific Applicant business
information for the 7(a) WCP Program when a Lender submits a 7(a) WCP
application for guaranty. The collection of this information assists in
identifying Applicant businesses applying for the 7(a) WCP Program and
pertinent information applicable to the pilot program. The form is
comprised of questions that help identify the delivery method(s) of the
7(a) WCP loan, gather data for asset-based 7(a) WCP loans regarding
initial advance rates for accounts receivable and inventory, and
whether 7(a) WCP loan proceeds will be used to refinance the Lender's
same institution SBA Express loan(s). SBA Form 2534 must be completed
by the Lender and the information from the form will be submitted to
SBA electronically via SBA's electronic transmission (E-Tran) platform.
Only one form will be submitted as part of an application. SBA expects
most Lenders to collect the data through internal or third-party
software platforms. Lenders must retain the form in the respective loan
file.
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.
