Sec. 121.302  When does SBA determine the size status of an applicant?

    (a) The size of an applicant for SBA financial assistance is 
determined as of the date the application for such financial assistance 
is accepted for processing by SBA, except for the Disaster Loan and 
Preferred Lenders programs.
    (b) For the Preferred Lenders program, size is determined as of the 
date of approval of the loan by the Preferred Lender.
    (c) For disaster loan assistance (other than physical disaster 
loans), size status is determined as of the date the disaster commenced, 
as set forth in the Disaster Declaration. For pre-disaster mitigation 
loans, size status is determined as of the date SBA accepts the 
application for processing.
    (d) Changes in size subsequent to the applicable date when size is 
determined will not disqualify an applicant for assistance.
