    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.
