SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA is proposing to update SBA Form 1919
(``the Form'') to conform to Administration priorities, Executive
Orders, regulations, policy, and procedural 7(a) loan program updates
implemented since the last review of the Form.
SBA intends to amend the ``Applicant Ownership (Mandatory) and
Demographic Information'' section of the Form to revise the
instructional paragraph for the Applicant to Identify 100% of the
direct and indirect (i.e.,
[[Page 8568]]
those who have an ownership interest in an entity that owns the
Applicant) owners of the Applicant, key employees of the Applicant, and
guarantors on the loan.
The current version of the Form requires the Applicant to provide
the following mandatory owner demographic information: the owner's
legal name, title, ownership percentage, tax identification number
(TIN), and address. As a result of the enactment of Executive Order
14159, and recent regulatory, policy, and procedural changes since the
last publication of the Form, SBA intends to add new information inputs
for collection of the owner's date of birth (or date of formation for
an entity owner); the owner's citizenship status; for entity owners,
the type of entity; and the spouse's legal name if the spouse is also a
direct or indirect owner of the Applicant or Operating Company (OC).
SBA intends to revise the language in the questions and
certifications in the form to align with the recent changes to the
regulatory and procedural requirements for the 7(a) guaranty loan
program. Additionally, SBA intends to revise the instructions for
completing this form section to provide additional instructions and
clarity for NAICS codes, the purpose of the loan, and the Applicant's
Ownership information.
SBA intends to update the SBA definitions section in the Form and
add new certifications for compliance with recent regulatory, policy,
and procedural updates. The proposed changes are being made to comply
with Executive Order 14159, ``Protecting the American People Against
Invasion'', issued January 20, 2025, and incorporate Policy and
Procedural changes published since the latest publication of the Form.
Solicitation of Public Comments
SBA is seeking to amend Form 1919 for compliance with the E.O.
14159 and to improve the clarity of the questions and instructions. 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.
