SBA Forms 2181, 2182 and 2183 provide
SBA with the necessary information to make informed and proper
decisions regarding the approval or denial of an applicant for a
small business investment company (SBIC) license. SBA uses this
information to assess an applicant's ability to successfully
operate an SBIC within the scope of the Small Business Investment
Act, as amended.
Annual hour burden and annual
cost burden have decreased because the estimated number of
respondents has been reduced to reflect the fact that SBA is
currently licensing only debenture and non-leveraged SBICS.
