SOP 50 10 8 Ch5
Chapter 5: E-Tran Terms and Conditions through Disbursement for all 7(a) Loans Section C: 504 Loan Program Specific Requirements: CDCs must comply with the Core requirements in Section A and with the detailed guidance provided for the delivery of 504 Loan Program loans. Exceptions to Policy: When the policy set forth does not adequately address the unique circumstances regarding a particular matter, the SBA Lender may submit a request for an exception to policy. For the 7(a) Loan Program: • Lenders that do not have delegated authority may submit requests for exceptions to [email protected], and the loan will be processed under non-delegated procedures. • Lenders that have delegated authority must make a request for an exception for any type of 7(a) loan to [email protected], providing detailed information about the application including the names of the principals, address of the project, and a discussion of the policy for which the exception is being requested along with an explanation why SBA 7(A) and 504 Business Loan Requirements the exception to policy should be granted. Lender is to provide a summary of the facts – SBA will not be reviewing the entire case file or multiple attachments. o If SBA approves the exception, the Lender will receive an email confirming the approval, and the Lender must proceed to process the application under delegated authority. The Lender must retain the approval email in the loan file. Exceptions to policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the decision will only apply to the specific request. o The [email protected] email account is only for Lenders with delegated authority that have questions about a specific loan application and is not to be used for general policy questions, which should be sent to [email protected]. For the 504 Loan Program, CDCs may request an exception to policy at the time of application in the credit memorandum. If the CDC requests an exception to policy after loan approval, or as a result of changes to an approved 504 project, a policy exception may be requested through the submission of a “327 action” for review. The loan processing center or Headquarters team will analyze the request and make a recommendation to the D/FA or designee for 504 loans and for 7(a) loans, except Export Working Capital Program (EWCP), Export Express, and International Trade (IT) loans, or to the Director, International Trade Finance (D/ITF) for EWCP, Export Express, and IT loans. The D/FA or designee, or D/ITF, or an individual acting in that capacity, will make the final decision (with the concurrence of the D/OCRM for Export Express loans). The D/FA or designee or D/ITF may not approve an exception to policy if such exception would be inconsistent with a statute or regulation. This procedure may only be used in situations where a minor deviation from standard policy is necessary for the specific situation. Exceptions to policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the decision will only apply to the specific request. The decision must be documented in the appropriate Agency loan file. Section A. Core Requirements for all 7(a) and 504 Loans SECTION A. CORE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL 7(A) AND 504 LOANS Section A: Core requirements for all 7(a) and 504 loans: 7(a) Lenders and CDCs (SBA Lenders) must always start by reviewing the contents of this section. These core requirements apply to both 7(a) and 504 loan programs. NOTE: “SBA Lender” is defined in 13 CFR § 120.10 as a 7(a) Lender or a CDC. This term includes SBA Supervised Lenders.
Operationalizing SBA SOP 50 10 8, Ch5 — E-Tran Terms and Conditions through Disbursement for all 7(a) Loans
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
