SBA Information Notice
TO: All SBA Employees and 7(a) Lenders CONTROL NO.: 5000-854476
SUBJECT: FY 2024 Updated Fee Schedule for EFFECTIVE: April 5, 2024
SBA Oversight of 7(a) Lenders
Introduction
The purpose of this Notice is to announce that SBA’s Office of Credit Risk Management
(OCRM) is updating its 7(a) Lender oversight fees.
Background
SBA is authorized to charge 7(a) Lenders fees to cover the costs of monitoring, reviews,
examinations, and other lender oversight activities. See, 15 USC 634(b)(14); 13 CFR 120.1070;
and SOPs 50 53 2, Ch. 5 and 50 56 1, Section A. Ch.1, Para. D.3.f. In accordance with this
authority, SBA charges 7(a) Lenders fees for monitoring, including the quarterly off-
site/monitoring reviews conducted through the Loan and Lender Monitoring System (L/LMS).
SBA also charges 7(a) Lenders fees to cover the costs of the following reviews: (1)
Desktop/Analytical Reviews; (2) Targeted Reviews; (3) Limited Scope Reviews; (4) Full Scope
Reviews; (5) Delegated Authority Reviews; and (6) Other Reviews (e.g., Agreed Upon
Procedures Reviews, Secondary Market Reviews). In addition, SBA’s oversight fees include
costs related to Other Lender Oversight Activities (e.g., technical assistance and analytics, a
portion of OCRM salaries for 7(a) Lender oversight activities, supervision and enforcement
activities, and similar costs to support SBA’s lender oversight program).
These oversight fees are based on SBA’s costs. The fees for monitoring (e.g., L/LMS and
subscription services), Other Lender Oversight Activities, and Delegated Authority Reviews are
assessed annually based on each 7(a) Lender’s portion of the total dollar amount of 7(a)
guarantees in SBA’s portfolio or, as applicable, the relevant portfolio segment the activity
covers. For purposes of this calculation, a Lender’s portfolio size is determined as of the end of
the prior fiscal year. (Where the costs that SBA incurs for the oversight activity are specific to a
particular 7(a) Lender, such as for the Desktop/Analytical Reviews, Targeted Reviews, Limited
or Full Scope Reviews, and Other Reviews, the Lender is assessed a fee based on SBA’s costs
and is billed following the completion of the review.)

Oversight Fees for FY2024
For FY 2024, the annual fee for monitoring and Other Lender Oversight Activities will be
$183.47 (for SBA Supervised Lenders, including Small Business Lending Companies (SBLCs),
Community Advantage SBLCs (CA SBLCs), and Non-Federally Regulated Lenders (NFRLs))
and $188.44 (for Federally Regulated 7(a) Lenders) for every $1 million in 7(a) guaranteed
dollars a 7(a) Lender has outstanding. The charge for the Federally Regulated 7(a) Lenders is
slightly higher because it includes the costs associated with oversight tools that are not applicable
to SBA Supervised Lenders. For FY 2024, the additional fee for Delegated Authority Lenders is
approximately $16.68 for every $1 million in 7(a) guaranteed dollars a delegated Lender has
outstanding. This fee covers the costs of Delegated Authority Reviews and is assessed annually
based on each delegated 7(a) Lender’s portion of the total dollar amount of 7(a) guarantees in the
SBA loan portfolio for all delegated 7(a) Lenders as of the end of the prior fiscal year. For this
calculation, 7(a) guaranteed dollars does not include loans originated under the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP). If SBA decides to charge a separate fee for PPP oversight, SBA will
issue further notice.
Updated Fee Schedule
The Fee Schedule below updates the annual oversight fee that SBA will charge 7(a) Lenders to
cover the costs of monitoring, Other Lender Oversight Activities, and Delegated Authority
Reviews, during Fiscal Year 2024 (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024). SBA will bill
each 7(a) Lender for the amount owed on an annual basis.
