built 359 days ago
The new rules, published September 26, 2006 in the Federal Register, were designed to improve operation of the agency's surety bond guarantee program and make it easier for sureties and small business concerns to participate. The new rules reduce the frequency of audits previously required of Preferred Surety Bond (PSB) Sureties; obligate SBA to guarantee 90 percent of the loss incurred by a prior approval surety on bonds issued on behalf of small businesses owned and controlled by veterans, and Service-disabled veterans; impose a 60-day deadline for the submission of surety fees to SBA; allow PSB sureties to charge premiums in accordance with applicable state ceilings; delete an existing reference to the expiration of the PSB Program; and allow affiliates of a PSB Surety to participate in the prior approval program.
