    Title: Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) Survey.
    Abstract: Established by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (the 
Act) (Pub. L. 111-240), the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) is a 
dedicated fund designed to provide capital to qualified community banks 
and community development loan funds (CDLFs) in order to encourage 
small business lending. The purpose of the SBLF is to encourage Main 
Street banks and small businesses to work together, help create jobs, 
and promote economic growth in communities across the nation. In order 
to receive capital from the SBLF, institutions were required to enter 
into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Treasury. Under Section 
3.1(c)(ii)(D) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, institutions 
participating in the SBLF are required to complete an annual survey 
providing a description of, among other things, how the institutions 
have utilized the SBLF funds and how the funds have impacted the 
operations and status of the institutions. As such, Treasury is seeking 
responses from institutions participating in the SBLF regarding the 
institutions' small business lending policies and practices, use of 
SBLF funding, and efforts to engage in outreach activities with respect 
to small business lending.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit institutions, and 
non-profit institutions.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,224.

Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
