Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended (31 U.S.C. 6101 Note) - SBA routinely publishes information related to this loan application (e.g., name and address of Borrower, amount of loan) on USAspending.gov, as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, as amended.

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a); Collection of Social Security Number (31 U.S.C. 7701)

Authorities and Purpose for Collecting Information: SBA is collecting the information on this form, including social security numbers (SSNs) and other personal information, to make a character and credit eligibility decision in connection with you or your company’s application for SBA assistance. SBA may also use SSNs and other taxpayer identification numbers(TINs) for the purpose of collecting and reporting on any delinquent fees or other amounts owed SBA. Under the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 7701, the Administrator shall require a person applying for a loan under the program to provide that person’s TIN; therefore, the Applicant business and any guarantor of the loan must provide their SSNs or other TINs in order to do business with SBA and not providing your SSN or TIN will impact the loan decision.

SBA also determines eligibility of the Applicant business in accordance with regulations under 13 CFR 120.110(n). SBA is specifically authorized to verify your criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to section 7(a)(1)(B), of the Small Business Act, 15 USC Section 636(a)(1)(B). In addition, for all forms of assistance, SBA is authorized to make all investigations necessary to ensure that a person has not engaged in acts that violate or will violate the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 634(b)(11). SBA also uses the SSN to distinguish the Applicant and its owners of the Applicant from other individuals with the same or similar name or other personal identifiers. This use is permitted under Executive Order 9397.

Routine Uses: Some of the information collected may be checked against criminal history indices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When the information collected indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local, or foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. See SBA’s Privacy Act System of Records, at 74 Fed. Reg. 14890 (2009) and 82 Fed. Reg. 23026 (2021) (as amended from time to time) for other published routine uses for the collected information.

Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. § 3401 et seq.) – As required by the Right of Financial Privacy Act of 1978, SBA provides this notice of SBA's right to access financial records held by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business, including any financial institutions participating in a loan or loan guarantee. The law provides that SBA shall have a right of access to your financial records in connection with its consideration or administration of assistance to you in the form of a Government loan or loan guaranty agreement. SBA is required to provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial institution in connection with its first request for access to your financial records, after which no further certification is required for subsequent access. The law also provides that SBA's access rights continue for the term of any approved loan or loan guaranty agreement.

No further notice to you of SBA's access rights is required during the term of any such agreement. The law also authorizes SBA to transfer to another Government authority any financial records included in an application for a loan, or concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or foreclose on a loan or loan guarantee or to collect on a defaulted loan or loan guarantee. No other transfer of your financial records to another Government authority will be permitted by SBA except as required or permitted by law.

Disclosure of Information – Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to release the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of information maintained in SBA’s system of records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature. Specifically, SBA may refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for, or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal agencies conducting background checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies’ function. See, 74 F.R. 14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time for additional background and other routine uses.

Debt Collection Act of 1982 and Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. § 5514 note and 31 U.S.C. § 3701 et seq.) – These laws require SBA to aggressively collect any loan or other payments which become delinquent. SBA must obtain your taxpayer identification number when you apply for a loan. If you receive a loan, and do not make payments as they come due, SBA may take one or more of the following actions:

• Report the status of your loan(s) or other debt owed to SBA to credit bureaus

• Hire a collection agency to collect your loan or other delinquent debt

• Offset your income tax refund or other amounts due to you from the Federal Government

• Suspend or debar you or your company from doing business with the Federal Government

• Refer your loan or other delinquent debt to the Department of Justice or other attorneys for litigation

• Foreclose on collateral or take other action permitted in the loan instruments

• If you default on an SBA loan and fail to fully reimburse SBA for any resulting loss, refer you to the computer database of delinquent Federal debtors maintained by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or other Federal agency, which may disqualify you from receiving financial assistance from other Federal agencies. In addition, unless SBA is reimbursed in full for the loss, you will not be eligible for additional SBA financial assistance.

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) -- This law provides, with some exceptions, that SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that is generally released includes, among other things, statistics on our loan programs (individual Borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the Borrowers, the amount of the loan, and the type of loan. Proprietary data on a Borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be addressed to the SBA’s Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts Office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request.

Flood Disaster Protection Act (42 U.S.C. 4011) -- Regulations have been issued by the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) and by SBA implementing this Act and its amendments. These regulations prohibit SBA from making certain loans in an FIA designated floodplain unless Federal Flood insurance is purchased as a condition of the loan. Failure to maintain the required level of flood insurance makes the Applicant ineligible for any financial assistance from SBA, including disaster assistance.

Executive Orders -- Floodplain Management and Wetland Protection (42 F.R. 26951 and 42 F.R. 26961) -- SBA discourages settlement in or development of a floodplain or a wetland. This statement is to notify all SBA loan Applicants that such actions are hazardous to both life and property and should be avoided. The additional cost of flood preventive construction must be considered in addition to the possible loss of all assets and investments due to a future flood.

Executive Order 11738 -- Environmental Protection (38 F.R. 25161) – The Executive Order charges the SBA with administering its loan programs in a manner that will result in effective enforcement of the Clean Air Act, the Federal Water Pollution Act and other environmental protection legislation. SBA must, therefore, impose conditions on some loans. By acknowledging receipt of this form and presenting the application, all Applicant small businesses borrowing $100,000 or more in direct funds stipulate to the following:

• That any facility used, or to be used, by the subject firm is not cited on the EPA list of Violating Facilities.

• That subject firm will comply with all the requirements of Section 114 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.7414) and Section 308 of the Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1318) relating to inspection, monitoring, entry, reports and information, as well as all other requirements specified in Section 114 and Section 308 of the respective Acts, and all regulations and guidelines issued thereunder.

• That subject firm will notify SBA of the receipt of any communication from the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency indicating that a facility utilized, or to be utilized, by subject firm is under consideration to be listed on the EPA List of Violating Facilities.

Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require businesses to modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined and required to abate the hazards in their workplaces. They may also be ordered to cease operations posing an imminent danger of death or serious injury until employees can be protected. Signing this form is certification that the Applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during the life of the loan.

Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. § 4821 et seq.) – Borrowers using SBA funds for the construction or rehabilitation of a residential structure are prohibited from using lead-based paint (as defined in Federal regulations) on all interior surfaces, whether accessible or not, and exterior surfaces, such as stairs, decks, porches, railings, windows and doors, which are readily accessible to children under 7 years of age. A "residential structure" is any home, apartment, hotel, motel, orphanage, boarding school, dormitory, day care center, extended care facility, college or other school housing, hospital, group practice or community facility and all other residential or institutional structures where persons reside.

Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business practice, including employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of SBA Regulations. This includes making their goods and services available to handicapped clients or customers. All Borrowers must display the "Equal Employment Opportunity Poster" prescribed by SBA.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et sec.) – The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit Applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age (provided that the Applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the Applicant's income derives from any public assistance program, or because the Applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, D.C. 20580.

Executive Order 12549 as amended by E.O. 12689, Debarment and Suspension (2 C.F.R. 180, adopted by reference in 2 C.F.R.

If you are unable to certify and acknowledge (a) through (d), you must obtain and attach a written statement of exception from SBA permitting participation in this loan. You further certify that you have not and will not knowingly enter into any agreement in connection with the goods and/or services purchased with the proceeds of this loan with any individual or entity that has been debarred, suspended, declared ineligible from participating in, or voluntarily excluded from participation in a Transaction.

The Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) (41 U.S.C. §8301) –The Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) requires that no federal financial assistance for “infrastructure” projects is provided “unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States.” Section 70914 of Public Law No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52.
