NOTICE TO APPLICANT: Authority for Requiring Submission of Information in Application - The applicant is hereby notified that Ex-Im Bank and SBA request the information in this application under the authority of the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 U.S.C. 635 et seq.) and section 7(a)(14) of the Small Business Act ("SB Act"), (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(14)), respectively. Providing the requested information is mandatory (except, see Privacy Act notice below concerning social security number), and failure to provide the requested information may result in SBA/Ex-Im Bank being unable to determine the applicant's eligibility for financial assistance. Unless a currently valid OMB control number is displayed on this form (see upper right of each page), SBA/Ex-Im Bank may not require the information requested in this application, and applicants are not required to provide such information. Submission of Social Security Number (Privacy Act notice) - Under the Privacy Act, the applicant is not required to provide social security number information, and failure to provide social security number may not affect any right, benefit, or privilege to which applicant is entitled. Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required for a benefit, however, and SBA requires an applicant seeking financial assistance to provide sufficient information to allow SBA to make a character and credit determination concerning individuals that are borrowers, principals, and guarantors. In determining whether an individual is of good character, SBA considers the person's integrity, candor, and disposition toward criminal actions. In making loans pursuant to section 7(a) of the SB Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(6)), SBA is required to have reasonable assurance that the loan is of sound value and will be repaid, or that it is in the best interest of the Government to grant the financial assistance requested. Additionally, SBA is specifically authorized to verify the applicant's criminal history, or lack thereof, pursuant to section 7(a)(1) of the SB Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(1)(B)). Further, for all forms of assistance, SBA is authorized to make all investigations necessary to ensure that a person has not engaged in acts that violate or will violate the SB Act or the Small Business Investment Act (15 U.S.C. 634 and 687b(a)). For these purposes, applicant is asked to voluntarily provide social security numbers to assist SBA in making character determinations and to distinguish the individuals listed in this application from other individuals with the same or similar name or other personal identifier. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA to make certain "routine uses" of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is that when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature, SBA may refer it to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State , local or foreign, charged with responsibility for or otherwise involved in investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is to assist in obtaining credit bureau reports, including business credit reports on the small business borrower and consumer credit reports and scores on the principals of the small business and guarantors on the loan for purposes of originating, servicing, and liquidating small business loans and for purposes of routine periodic loan portfolio management and lender monitoring. See 69 F.R. 58598, 58617 (and any subsequently published notices) for additional background and other routine uses. Disclosure ­ Ex-Im Bank and SBA will hold confidential all information provided in the application, subject only to disclosure as required under the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552), the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a), the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 USC 3401), or any other law or court order. Public Burden Statement - Reporting for this collection of information is estimated to average 7.5 hours per response, including reviewing instructions, searching data sources, gathering information, and completing and reviewing the application. Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including suggestions for reducing it, to Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project OMB# 3048-0009, Washington, D.C. 20503.
