Abstract:
Section 13 of the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 642 as well as 13 CFR 103 .5, require loan applicants, agents or packagers to execute and provide to SBA's compensation agreement to disclose the name of the agent and the fees paid to such an agent for services rendered or to be rendered to the loan applicant, 7(a) participating Lender or Certified Development Company. SBA uses the information to determine whether there is unlawful or unethical activity by agents and to monitor fees charged.

Short Statement:
The estimated overall burden hours and number of responses for this collection has decreased. This is due primarily due to the significant decrease in the total number of responses for SBA Form 159s from SBA’s last PRA submission, which can be attributed to the fact that , the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) as authorized by 7(a)(36) and (37), and related initiatives implemented by SBA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic did not require this form since no fees could be charged to the applicant under PPP as mandated by statue.
