SBA Lender Oversight Program ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-20-E7-24381</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ On October 31, 2007, SBA published a proposed rule seeking 
comments on its proposal which would incorporate SBA's riskbased 
lender oversight program into SBA regulations. SBA is extending the 
comment period an additional 60 days from December 31, 2007 to February 
29, 2008. The proposed rule is generating a significant level of 
interest. Given the scope of the proposal and the nature of the issues 
raised by the comments received to date, SBA believes the affected 
parties would find it beneficial to have more time to review the 
proposal and prepare their comments.
