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 whether they meet the 
economic disadvantage requirements of the program.
    All program offices use the same Form 413. SBA plans to revise the 
authorization language for Form 413 to provide consent for SBA to 
obtain information from the Social Security Administration (SSA) 
confirming name, social security number, and date of birth. SBA will 
also update the certification to state that information provided in the 
Disaster loan application is accurate to the best of their knowledge.

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.
