SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Small Business Administration's Covid 
EIDL Servicing Center Borrower Request Forms provide the borrower with 
easily completed fillable forms that can be emailed or mailed to SBA's 
Covid EIDL Servicing Center. Covid EIDL borrowers will use these forms 
to request servicing actions such as seeking financial assistance in 
the form of a subordination, deferment, re-amortization, accommodation, 
change in ownership, change in collateral, or relocation of their 
business. The information collected helps the Agency to make 
eligibility assessments and approvals for servicing actions. It also 
provides the borrower a road map to follow when requesting a 
modification of their loan.

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.
