## Abstract

Under this final rule SBA amends its regulations to conform the eligibility criteria for disaster loans to those applicable in SBA's business loan program. Under the final rule, a business can not obtain a physical disaster loan if it is engaged in any illegal activity; if it is a government owned entity (other than one owned or controlled by a Native American tribe); or if it engages in products or services of a prurient sexual nature. Under the final rule, a business is not eligible for an economic injury disaster loan if more than one- third of its revenues are from legal gambling operations or from packaging SBA loans; if it is principally engaged in teaching or indoctrinating religion; or is primarily engaged in political or lobbying activities.
