View Rule

On April 2, 2020, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) posted on its website an interim final rule relating to the implementation of sections 1102 and 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act or the Act) (published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2020). Section 1102 of the Act temporarily adds a new product, titled the Paycheck Protection Program, to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) 7(a) Loan Program. Subsequently, SBA issued a number of interim final rules implementing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This interim final rule will supplement the interim final rule on appeals of SBA PPP loan review decisions, published August 27, 2020 in the Federal Register, to provide clarity on the procedures SBA’s Office of Hearing and Appeals will use to process PPP appeals.
