Thu, Nov 13 2008 11:00:00 GMT

To address extraordinary market conditions limiting credit availability for small businesses, SBA is issuing an interim final rule to make adjustments on an emergency basis to certain of its regulations in order to make the secondary market for loans guaranteed under section 7(a) of the Small Business Act (7(a) loans) more efficient with regard to loan pricing and the formation of secondary market loan pools. Specifically, the interim final rule will permanently add an additional base rate of LIBOR for lenders to use when pricing 7(a) loans, and will allow for secondary market loan pools to be formed with weighted average coupon rates. This interim final rule is necessary to help ensure continued availability of capital to small businesses and to improve liquidity in and efficiency of the secondary market.

SBA believes that this rule is routine and noncontroversial, and the Agency anticipates no significant adverse comment. If SBA receives a significant adverse comment, it will withdraw the rule.

Small Disadvantaged Business Program

Fri, Oct 3 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This rule changes the requirements relating to which firms may certify their status as small disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) for purposes of federal prime contracts and subcontracts. Currently, only those firms that have applied to and been certified as SDBs by SBA may certify themselves to be SDBs for federal prime and subcontracts. This rule allows firms to selfrepresent their status for subcontracting purposes without first receiving any SDB certification. It also recognizes that the benefits of being an SDB for federal prime contracts has been greatly diminished over the past years, and shifts the responsibility of identifying firms as SDBs for federal prime contracts to those limited agencies that have authority and chose to use price evaluation adjustments to SDBs.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking comments on a data issue involving the WomenOwned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Assistance Procedures authorized under Section 8(m) of the Small Business Act. Specifically, SBA is seeking comments on two data sets: the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) data set which was used in the RAND report and the proposed rule for the WOSB Federal Contract Assistance Procedures to determine the representation of WOSBs in Federal procurement in the various industries and a non public Survey of Business Owners (SBO) data set from the Economic Census, which was not previously used in the RAND report or the proposed rule to determine the representation of WOSBs in Federal procurement in the various industries. This request for comments is intended to stimulate dialogue on available data sets and the comments will be evaluated to determine which data set will provide the soundest basis to identify industries in which WOSBs are underrepresented

Interest Rates

Wed, Oct 1 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The Small Business Administration publishes an interest rate called the optional ``peg'' rate (13 CFR 120.214) on a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted average cost of money to the government for maturities similar to the average SBA direct loan. This rate may be used as a base rate for guaranteed fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This rate will be 4.625 (4 5/8) percent for the OctoberDecember quarter of FY 2009.

Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the maximum legal interest rate for any third party lender's commercial loan which funds any portion of the cost of a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall be 6% over the New York Prime rate or, if that exceeds the maximum interest rate permitted by the constitution or laws of a given State, the maximum interest rate will be the rate permitted by the constitution or laws of the given State.
