Small Business Administration SBA's
Premier Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) transfers considerable
authority and autonomy to Premier Certified Development Companies
(Premier CDCs). The PCLP forms (Forms 2233 and 2234) collect loan
information to assist the agency in carrying-out its lender,
portfolio and program oversight responsibilities. Form 2233 will
collect loan loss reserve information to ensure Premier CDC
compliance with statutory requirements. SBA will use Form 2234 to
approve loan eligibility and track portfolio performance.
This information
collection consists of SBA Form 2233 and SBA Form 2234, Parts A, B,
and C. A statutory change on December 22, 2015 in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2016, made debt refinance a permanent part of
the 504 loan program. Slight revisions to the currently approved
forms are required to reinstate the debt refinance program
requirements that were previously removed due to the expiration of
the authority for that program in 2012. SBA is requesting emergency
approval of this submission to enable the agency to re-establish
the program as expeditiously as possible. The justification for
this request is outlined in the letter uploaded as a supplementary
document to this Supporting Statement.
