                                          REPORT

                                          [To accompany S. 1470]
                     The Committee   on Small  Business and  Entrepreneurship, to
                   which was referred the bill (S. 1470) to amend the Small Business
                   Act to provide additional assistance to small business concerns for
                   disaster recovery, and for other purposes, having considered the
                   same, reports favorably thereon with an amendment in the nature
                   of a substitute and recommends that the bill, as amended, do pass.
                                          I. INTRODUCTION
                     The Recovery Improvements  for Small Entities (RISE) After Dis-
                   aster Act of 2015 (S. 1470) was introduced by Chairman Vitter, on
                   May  31,  2015. The  bill incorporates language  from  Senator
                   Heitkamp's Small Business Disaster Reform Act of 2015 (S. 956),
                   providing clarification of collateral requirements for disaster loans.
                   The purpose of the RISE Act is to provide additional assistance to
                   small business concerns for disaster recovery. In order to achieve
                   this, the RISE Act seeks to provide long-term recovery loans to
                   small businesses through community banks  after their opportuni-
                   ties to receive SBA disaster assistance are no longer available. The
                   bill will also direct Federal agencies to utilize local contractors in
                   recovery efforts for disaster affected areas as well as authorize
                   counseling and technical assistance to help small businesses in
                   their recovery efforts and resume operations as quickly as possible.
                     During the markup   of the bill, the bill was approved unani-
                   mously by voice vote.
