Abstract: Treasury plans to collect information from SBLF participants about the small business lending supported by SBLF's investment. SBLF will request information from participants on changes in small business lending policies, dollar amounts and number of loans extended across different categories of small business lending, actions taken using SBLF funds, and outreach undertaken to expand lending to small businesses owned by women, minorities and veterans, over the past year.

Emergency Justfication: Treasury has made clarifying changes to the lending survey form based on feedback on and responses to last year’s survey, including: adding three definitions to the instructions page and improving the written directions on questions 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, and 13. In addition, Treasury has added questions 14-17 to the survey to understand when and how participants plan to repay their SBLF investment. For a more detailed explanation of the clarifying changes, please review the “for OMB review with notes indicating changes” file.
