SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Office of Investment and Innovation (OII) of the SBA is required to examine Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) pursuant to Section 310 of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 687b, and the implementing regulations at 13 CFR 107.690 to 107.692. The purpose of the examination, as provided by statute, is to determine, in part, whether or not the SBIC has engaged “solely in lawful activities and those [activities] contemplated” by title III of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.

The examinations are required by statute to occur at least biennially (15 U.S.C. 687b(c)).
