SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, 
and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Public Law 116-136, authorized SBA 
to guarantee loans made by banks or other financial institutions under 
a new temporary 7(a) program titled the ``Paycheck Protection Program'' 
(``PPP'') to small businesses, certain non-profit organizations, 
veterans' organizations, Tribal business concerns, independent 
contractors and self-employed individuals adversely impacted by the 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Emergency. This authority initially 
expired on August 8, 2020. The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small 
Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act), Public Law 
116-260, renewed SBA's authority to make PPP loans until March 31, 
2021, and added authority for second draw PPP loans under Sec.  
7(a)(37) of the Small Business Act. The program authority was further 
extended until June 30, 2021, by the PPP Extension Act of 2021, Public 
Law 117-6.
    This information collection is currently approved for the PPP Loan 
Program under the emergency procedures authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3507(j) 
and 5 CFR 1320.13. This approval will expire on January 31, 2022. 
Although SBA's PPP program authority has expired, this information 
collection is still needed for the following reasons: (1) PPP borrowers 
may apply for forgiveness of their loans up to the date of loan 
maturity, which may be as late as 2026; (2) SBA may

review a PPP loan at any time; and (3) pending litigation may require 
the collection of information. Therefore, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act, SBA is publishing this notice as a prerequisite to 
seeking OMB's approval to ensure this information collection is 
available for use beyond January 31, 2022. As part of that process, SBA 
is requesting comments from the public 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 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.
