2001 Terrorist Attacks

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Application Deadline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Camp, Supervisory Program 
Analyst, Office of Disaster Assistance, 202-205-6734.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the President's major 
disaster declarations with respect to the World Trade Center and the 
Pentagon and the widespread economic impact caused by the terrorist 
attacks and the related Federal actions taken directly thereafter, the 
SBA revised its disaster loan regulations on October 22, 2001. Under 
the revised regulations, SBA can make economic injury disaster loans 
(EIDL) to eligible small business concerns outside the declared 
disaster areas that suffered substantial economic injury as a direct 
result of the destruction of the World Trade Center or the damage to 
the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, or as a direct result of any 
related Federal action taken between September 11, 2001 and October 22, 
2001.
    As authorized by 13 CFR 123.605, SBA is extending the application 
deadline for good cause. SBA is extending the deadline to make it 
consistent with the deadlines established by the disaster declarations 
made as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the 
World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Accordingly, with this Notice, the 
SBA extends the filing deadline for expanded economic injury disaster 
loans under this disaster program from May 22, 2002 to September 30, 
2002.
    Applications for economic injury disaster loans may be obtained and 
filed at the SBA disaster office servicing the applicant's state.
