data input error in the SBA Loan Approval Amount of a PPP loan on
ETRAN will use this form to request that the SBA Loan Approval
Amount be corrected or that an erroneously cancelled loan be
reinstated. SBA will use the information provided to evaluate the
nature of the lender’s error and to determine whether the SBA Loan
Approval Amount should be corrected or whether the loan should be

June 15, 2021 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 OMB review
of the non-substantive revisions to the collection of information
titled, Lender Certification for Reinstatement or Correction of
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan, OMB Control No. 3245-0415,
be processed in accordance with section 1320.13, Emergency
Processing. These revisions include clarifying that a lender’s
ability to reinstate or correct a loan is subject to the
availability of funds. This change will help to manage lenders’
expectations, especially as funds become depleted. Additional
changes include clarifying that an Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN) is an acceptable Taxpayer
Identification Number for the Borrower and removing an outdated
reference to the expiration of authority for the PPP. Also, the
form has been revised in light of the new 2021 origination process
for PPP loans, where loans are processed through SBA’s Paycheck
Protection Platform, rather than directly through SBA’s ETRAN
system. SBA has determined that the revisions are necessary prior
to the expiration of time periods established under Part 1320 to
complete the OMB review process. The information is essential to
the SBA’s ability to evaluate lenders’ requests for reinstatement
of PPP loans that were cancelled in SBA’s ETRAN system due to
lenders’ data input errors and/or correction of lenders’ data input
errors made when entering the SBA Loan Approval Amount of PPP loans
in ETRAN or the Paycheck Protection Platform, subject to
availability of funds. SBA has been accepting forgiveness decisions
from lenders and making forgiveness payments on PPP loans and
recognized that there is a need for the revisions to help ensure,
among other things, that Lenders submit the appropriate information
that SBA needs to review the correction or reinstatement requests.
In light of the ongoing need to review such requests, approval of
this revised information collection without having to go through
the standard Paperwork Reduction Act review procedures will have an
immediate benefit for lenders, enhance the integrity of the
program, and improve SBA’s oversight and monitoring
responsibilities. SBA requests approval of these non-substantive
revisions by June 30, 2021. According to OMB guidance,1 the agency
is not required to solicit public comment for non-substantive
revisions to Flexibilities Under the Paperwork Reduction Act for
Compliance with Information Collection Requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
