[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 13, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2001] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 13CFR123.406] [Page 283] TITLE 13--BUSINESS CREDIT AND ASSISTANCE CHAPTER I--SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PART 123--DISASTER LOAN PROGRAM--Table of Contents Sec. 123.406 How do I apply for a pre-disaster mitigation loan and which loans will be funded? (a) At the beginning of each fiscal year commencing October 1st 1999, SBA will publish a declaration in the Federal Register announcing the availability of pre-disaster mitigation loans. The declaration will designate at least a 30 day application filing period in the first six months of the fiscal year, the application filing deadline, and the locations for obtaining and filing loan applications. Additional application periods may be announced each year depending on the availability of funds. In addition to the Federal Register, SBA will use FEMA and the local media to inform potential loan applicants where to obtain loan applications. SBA will not accept any applications after the announced deadline unless SBA reopens the application filing period. (b) Complete an SBA pre-disaster mitigation loan application package which includes a written statement from the local Project Impact coordinator that the project is in accordance with the specific priorities and goals of the local community. The application must be filed during the announced filing period. (c) An SBA Disaster Area Office will notify the Office of Disaster Assistance (ODA) when it has accepted a complete application for processing. The Area Office will approve, decline, or withdraw (stop processing) the application if the applicant does not give SBA required information. The Area Office will notify ODA of its decision. ODA will then direct the Area Office to make the loan based on availability of loan funds and the date SBA accepted the complete application package.
