Abstract: Under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (the "Act"), the Department of the Treasury is responsible for implementing several components of the Act. Among these components is a program under title III of the Act which requires Treasury to make payments to participating states. Participating states will use the federal funds for programs that leverage private lending to help finance small businesses and manufacturers that are creditworthy, but are not getting the loans they need to expand and create jobs. The collection of information is necessary to ensure that the allocation agreement constitutes a legal binding obligation of the participating state and to monitor participating state compliance and performance. The recordkeeping requirements ensure both the effective and efficient use of the funds consistent with the agreement.

Emergency Justfication: The SSBCI program's agreements with participants will expire in March 2017 and Treasury’s authority to administer the program expires in September 2017. Treasury’s agreements with participants require the participants to submit a summary of their performance results as of the end of 2016. This information collection was discontinued in error and is being submitted as a reinstatement request with change.
