Abstract: The need for the collection is so that private sector entities can apply for a DFC-Defense Production Act (DPA) Loan. The uses of the collection will be to undertake screening and origination of the DFC-DPA should it be eligible.

Emergency Justfication: The intent of EO 13922 is that DFC respond to the COVID-19 outbreak expeditiously. This intent, along with the need to address the dramatic toll the COVID-19 outbreak has had on the United States economy and critical infrastructure, presents an urgent and compelling circumstance that makes compliance with prior notice and comment period period impracticable. Specifically, companies need to be informed on how to apply for a DFC-DPA loan and DFC needs to be able to begin screening and underwriting prospective projects as soon as possible. As this is a time-limited program and project origination can take months, the ability to implement this program is time sensitive.
