In November 2005 SBA piloted a
one-year loan program specially targeted to the counties and
parishes that were declared disaster areas as a result of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This pilot has been extended to
9/30/08. Lenders use primarily their own application, however, SBA
requires the minimal information requested on these forms from
lenders and borrowers to carry out its loan monitoring, portfolio
risk management, and lender oversight activities associated with
this loan pilot.
There has been a significant
reduction in the burden-hours originally estimated. The program was
designed to principally be an interim step for business disaster
loan victims until the disaster loan funds that they were eligible
for were received. However, the estimated interim financing needed
by the these small businesses were over-estimated. Either
businesses re-located to non-affected areas or the disaster loan
funds applied for were received instead.
