OMB approves the
collection until December 2013. The GO Loan Pilot was originally
set to expire on September 30, 2006, but through a series of
extensions is currently effective until September 30, 2011. It has
been extended through December 31, 2013. In light of this, SBA is
requesting an extension of this information collection so that the
forms will remain available for use in the program during the
remainder of the pilot.
