                                   S.  1001
           Small  Business  Lending   Reauthorization   Act  of 2015

 As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
                                on April 23, 2015


S. 1001 would set the maximum amount of debt that the Small Business Administration
(SBA) can guarantee under the agency's general business loan program, also known as the
7(a) program, at $20.5 billion for fiscal year 2015 and $23.5 billion for fiscal year 2016.
The agency's 2015 authorization level for loan guarantees under the 7(a) program is
currently $18.8 billion.

Under current law, businesses participating in the 7(a) program are required to pay various
fees that are sufficient to offset the program's estimated subsidy cost, that is, the estimated
long-term cost to the government of a loan guarantee, calculated on a net-present-value
basis. Based on information from the SBA, CBO expects that increasing the loan levels for
the program would not affect the estimated subsidy cost, nor would the changes increase
the cost to administer the program, which is recorded on a cash basis. Therefore, CBO
estimates that implementing S. 1001 would not affect discretionary spending. Enacting
S. 1001 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures
do not apply.

S. 1001 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Susan Willie. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
