SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that as a result of 
Public Law 106-50, the Veterans entrepreneurship and Small Business 
Development Act of 1999, and the Military Reservist and Veteran Small 
Business Reauthorization Act of 2008, this notice establishes the 
application filing period for the Military Reservist Economic Injury 
Disaster Loan Program (MREIDL).
    Effective 10/01/2012, small businesses employing military 
reservists may apply for economic injury disaster loans if those 
employees are called up to active duty during a period of military 
conflict or have received notice of an expected call-up, and those 
employees are essential to the success of the small business daily 
operations.
    The purpose of the MREIDL program is to provide funds to an 
eligible small business to meet its ordinary and necessary operating 
expenses that it could have met, but is unable to meet, because an 
essential employee was called-up or expects to be called-up to active 
duty in his or her role as a military reservist. These loans are 
intended only to provide the amount of working capital needed by a 
small business to pay its necessary obligations as they mature until 
operations return to normal after the essential employee is released 
from active duty. For information/applications contact 1-800-659-2955 
or visit www.sba.gov.
    Applications for the Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster 
Loan Program may be filed at the above address.
    The Interest Rate for eligible small businesses is 4.000.
    The number assigned is 13332 0.
