SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Small Business Administration SBA Form 912 
is used to collect information needed to make character determinations 
with respect to applicants for monetary loan assistance or applicants

the basis for conducting name checks at national Federal Bureau of 
Investigations (FBI) and local levels.
    SBA is requesting that applicants include their email contact 
information when listing their (or their firm's) name and address. SBA 
is also requesting additional information pertaining to applicants'

changes to enhance the readability and clarity of the form, including 
renumbering Question 1, revising the wording of Questions 2 and 9, 
moving the burden information from Page 1 to Page 2, and explicitly 
instructing applicants that they ``must'' fully complete SBA Form 912, 
including furnishing details on a separate sheet for any ``Yes'' 
responses to Questions 7, 8, or 9.
