SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For SBA financial assistance programs, SBA 
Form 413 Personal Financial Statement (PFS) collects information 
regarding the assets and liabilities of certain owners, officers and 
guarantors of the small business applicant benefiting from such 
assistance and is used when analyzing the applicant's repayment 
abilities or creditworthiness. SBA's Surety Bond Guaranty Program uses 
the Form 413 PFS information during the claim recovery process. The 
information is also collected from applicants and participants in SBA's 
8(a)/BD and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Program certification 
process to determine whether they meet the economic disadvantage 
requirements of the program.
    SBA currently has four versions of the Form 413 PFS. The Agency 
plans to consolidate and streamline these into one Form 413 which will 
be used across the various program offices. SBA plans to expand and 
clarify the instructions for the Form 413 to ensure the public will be 
aware of the specific submission process for each program office. 
Lastly, the Form 413 may undergo significant formatting changes to make 
it easier to address mandatory Federal government 508 accessibility 
compliance.

Solicitation of Public Comments

    SBA is requesting comments on (a) Whether the collection of 
information is necessary for the Agency to properly perform its 
functions; (b) whether the burden estimates are accurate; (c) whether 
there are ways to minimize the burden, including through the use of 
automated techniques or other forms of information technology; and (d) 
whether there are ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information.
