SBA is collecting this information for the purpose of monitoring the performance of Microloan Program Intermediary Lenders. SBA is collecting this information pursuant to the rules and regulations establishing the Microloan Program in Section 7(m)(1)(A) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(m)(1)(a)). xxx Your responses are necessary to help SBA to determine whether program objectives are being met and whether the intermediary lenders are complying with program requirements.
In order to verify that the statutory purpose of the Microloan Program is met, SBA must collect data relating to the small business concerns assisted by the program. The collection of business and personal information may implicate the Trades Secret Act and the Privacy Act respectively. However, the information collected will be protected to the maximum extent permitted by law, including the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552 and the Privacy Act, 5 USC 552a.
Microloan Program data is collected via the Microloan Program Electronic Reporting System (MPERS). MPERS is a web-enabled system that is accessed through the Capital Access Financial System (CAFS) at https://caweb.sba.gov/cls/dsp_login.cfm. The menu is dynamically-built based on the user’s role.
