SBA Caps the Aggregate Amount of PPP Loans Each Corporate Family Can Receive
Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.01.20
On April 30, 2020, the Small Business Administration (SBA) released an interim final rule imposing a $20 million cap on the aggregate amount of loans a single corporate group can receive from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Given the high demand for PPP loans and finite appropriations, the SBA has imposed this limit in order to ensure PPP funds reach the largest possible number of borrowers.
Businesses are part of a single corporate group if they are majority owned, directly or indirectly, by a common parent based on the broad definition in the interim final rule. This cap applies without limitation even to those businesses that are eligible for the otherwise applicable waiver-of-affiliation provisions.
This cap applies to PPP loan funds that have not yet been fully disbursed as of April 30, 2020. This means that the cap applies not only to all PPP loans to be made in the future but also to any loans that have only been partially disbursed. The interim final rule makes it incumbent on PPP recipients and applicants to determine if they will receive PPP loans in excess of the cap and withdraw or request cancellation of any pending PPP loan application or approved PPP loan not in compliance with this rule. The Crowell & Moring Team is closely watching these developments and is standing by to confer with companies about the impact of this new loan ceiling.

After hosting a series of workshops and issuing multiple rounds of materials, including enforcement notices, checklists, templates, and other guidance, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has proposed regulations to implement the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261) (both as amended by SB 219), which require large U.S.-based businesses operating in California to disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-related risks. CARB also published a Notice of Public Hearing and an Initial Statement of Reasons along with the proposed regulations. While CARB’s final rules were statutorily required to be promulgated by July 1, 2025, these are still just proposals. CARB’s proposed rules largely track earlier guidance regarding how CARB intends to define compliance obligations, exemptions, and key deadlines, and establish fee programs to fund regulatory operations.
