SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Disaster Loan Program is an SBA
financing program authorized under the Small Business Act of 1953, 15
U.S.C. 636 et seq. SBA provides low-interest disaster loans to help
businesses and homeowners recover from declared disasters. The
information collection that is approved under OMB Control Number 3245-
0017 facilitates the ongoing administration of the Disaster Loan
Program. This information collection currently consists of SBA Form 5
titled Disaster Business Loan Application. SBA recognizes that this
information collection needs to be revised due to regulatory changes
and to align with Executive Order 14168. These form revisions will
result in greater clarity and understanding for victims applying for
assistance. Questions on SBA Form 5 will be simplified. Other questions
may be added based on efficiencies of the MySBA loan portal.
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.

loan assistance.
