With this rule, SBA amends its regulation regarding the liquidation and sale of loans. As part of a government-wide initiative, federal credit agencies are being directed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to sell their loan portfolios. Initially, SBA intends to sell its portfolio of direct and purchased loans made under the authorities of the 7(a) and 501, 502, 503, and 504 programs. This will include both secured and unsecured loans in performing and non- performing status. The loans will be sold to qualified bidders by means of competitive procedures at publicly advertised sales. Bidder qualifications will be set for each sale in accordance with the terms and conditions of each sale. SBA also intends to sell its disaster home loans and disaster business loans, but will publish separate regulations regarding these sales.
