SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, authorized SBA to guarantee loans made
by banks or other financial institutions under a temporary program
titled the ``Paycheck Protection Program'' (PPP). These loans were
available to eligible small businesses, certain non-profit
organizations, veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns,
independent contractors, and self-employed individuals adversely
impacted by the COVID-19 Emergency. SBA's authority to guarantee PPP
loans expired on August 8, 2020. On December 27, 2020, SBA received
reauthorization under the Economic Aid Act, Public Law 116-260, to
resume guaranteeing PPP loans through March 31, 2021. The Economic Aid
Act also amended certain other PPP statutory provisions. On March 11,
2021, the American Rescue Plan Act, Public Law 117-2, was enacted,
further amending various PPP statutory provisions. On March 30, 2021,
the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was enacted, extending the SBA's PPP
program authority through June 30, 2021.
This information collection is used for the PPP Loan Program. This
approval is set to expire on March 31, 2025. SBA will request approval
of an extension of this information collection for three (3) years.
Although SBA's PPP program authority has expired, this information
collection is still needed for the following reasons: (1) PPP borrowers
may apply for forgiveness of their loans up to five years after SBA
issued a loan number, which may be as late as 2026; and (2) SBA may
review a PPP loan at any time; and (3) pending litigation may require
the collection of information. Additionally, SBA recently published an
Interim Final Rule on Paycheck Protection Program--Extension of Lender
Records Retention Requirements (89 FR 68090, August 23, 2024),
extending the PPP loan records retention requirements for PPP lenders
to ten years from the date of disposition of each individual PPP loan.
Because the PPP lender recordkeeping requirements have been extended,
this information collection needs to be extended accordingly.
Therefore, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, SBA is
publishing this notice as a prerequisite to seeking OMB's approval to
use this information collection beyond March 31, 2025. There are no
proposed changes to the form.

Form Number: SBA Form 3511.
OMB Control Number: 3245-0416.

Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA invites the public to submit comments, including specific and
detailed suggestions on ways to improve the collection and reduce the
burden on respondents. Commenters should also address (i) whether the
information collection is necessary for the proper performance of SBA's
functions, including whether it has any practical utility; (ii) the
accuracy of the estimated burdens; (iii) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) the
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information collection burden on those who
are required to respond.
