Susan Minson
SBA Desk Officer
Office of Management and Budget
Dear Ms. Minson:
Pursuant to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR
1320, SBA requests that the collection of information titled, Affiliation WorksheetPaycheck Protection Program be processed in accordance with section 1320.13, Emergency
Processing. SBA has determined that this information must be collected prior to the
expiration of time periods established under Part 1320, and that this information is essential
to the SBA’s ability to effectively review loans that have been made under the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP).
This worksheet will collect information from borrowers that answered “yes” to question 3 1
on Form 2483 (Borrower Application Form) when they applied for a PPP loan, and also
from borrowers that did not respond in the affirmative but, based on the information
available to SBA, may have affiliates. The information will be collected during SBA’s
review of PPP loans provided to these borrowers, if SBA determines that supplemental
information is necessary to evaluate the borrower’s eligibility certification and compliance
with size and affiliation requirements. SBA has already started to review PPP loans. Failure
to collect the information requested could result in improper payments if loans were issued
to borrowers that are not eligible, and forgiveness payments are remitted to lenders for
ineligible borrowers.
SBA requests approval of the submission by December 10, 2020. Given the inability to seek
public comment during such a short timeframe, SBA also requests a waiver from the
requirement to publish 60-day and 30-day notices in the Federal Register seeking public
comment during the period of OMB review. Although SBA is unable to consult with the
public prior to issuing the forms, the Agency has experience designing similar forms in a
way that is clear and minimizes burden on respondents.
Sincerely,

JI KIM
