New rules published in the Federal Register establish a more flexible pricing structure, allowing Preferred Surety Bond Sureties to charge current state rates rather than being locked into rates that, set under and required by the former regulations, had become outdated and unwieldy over time. "Thebigwinners," saidSteve Preston, administratoroftheUS. Small Business Administration, "are the small and emerging contractors who need access to surety bpnds so they can bid.on public construction projects. These changes will support small and emerging businesses nationwide, particularly construction contractors in the devastated Gulf Coast region and other disaster stricken areas around the U.S." Corporate surety bonds protect the project owner against financial loss, and in the case of public construction projects, protect taxpayer dollars should the contractor default. The new rules, published last September in the Federal Register, were designed to improve operation of the agency's surety bond guarantee program and make it easier for sureties and small business concerns to participate. The new rules reduce the frequency of audits previously required of Preferred Surety Bond (PSB) Sureties; obligate SBA to guarantee 90 percent of the loss incurred by a prior approval surety on bonds issued Hdlo Friotds, We arc pleased to anrowM our 2007 Hallmark Ornament Premier' 'foterthe terjfbjtowtiaV i i - r ' .., ' r :' David Williamson (Trent) Slaugh, Payton, Casey and Bobby Slaugh, and Clint (Deb) Dudley.

The new rules took effect July 27. Industry associations have commended SBA for promulgating the rule and SBA looks forward to encouraging sureties and agents to actively participate in the program. Through the Surety Bond Guarantee Program, SBA guarantees bid, payment and performance bonds on contracts up to $2 million in value. SBA also announced it is nearing completion of a new electronic bond application process. Small businesses and surety companies participating in the SBA prior approval program will be able to transmit application forms electronically to help expedite review and approval processes. In the past year SBA re-engineered the claims reimbursement process to shorten the cycle time between submission of a claim for reimbursement by a surety company and payment by the government. SBA assistance in locating a participating surety company or agent and completing application forms is available online.
