This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

This summary information is intended to enable the public to be more aware of, and effectively participate in, SBA's regulatory activities. Accordingly, SBA invites the public to submit comments on any aspect of this Agenda.

Please direct specific comments and inquiries regarding individual regulatory activities identified in this Agenda to the individual listed in the summary of the regulation as the point of contact for that regulation.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) requires SBA to publish in the Federal Register a semiannual regulatory flexibility agenda describing those Agency rules that are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). The summary information published in the Federal Register is limited to those rules. Additional information regarding all of the rulemakings SBA expects to consider in the next 12 months is included in the Federal Government's unified Regulatory Agenda, which will be available online at www.reginfo.gov in a format that offers users enhanced ability to obtain information about SBA's rules.

Abstract: SBA will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to enhance the Export Working Capital Program (EWCP). The revisions concern (1) increasing the maximum maturity on an EWCP loan from 3-years to 5-years; (2) changing the regulations to allow EWCP loan proceeds to be used to finance export transactions or support companies who engage in export transactions by providing working capital against their accounts receivable and inventory; (3) allowing use of proceeds for asset-based working capital secured by inventory and accounts receivable; (4) including a de minimis amount of domestic accounts receivable (not to exceed 30 percent) for EWCP loans used as an asset based line of credit; (5) allow Applicants to submit projections to support the need for facilities supporting pre-shipment working capital; (6) revise the unique requirements for the EWCP to align with industry standards for asset based lending.
