{"data":{"id":"us/13-cfr-134.1202","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"13 CFR 134.1202","heading":"Commencement of appeals of final SBA loan review decisions.","body":"(a) An appeal petition must be filed with OHA within 30 calendar days after the appellant's receipt of the final SBA loan review decision. To file and manage an appeal of a final SBA loan review decision with OHA, refer to the OHA Case Portal at https://appeals.sba.gov. An appellant is required to use the OHA Case Portal to file and manage their appeal.\n(b) Appellant must provide their lender with a copy of the timely appeal petition upon filing in order for the lender to extend the deferment period of the PPP loan until a final decision is issued under § 134.1211.\n(c)(1) Do not count the day the time period begins, but do count the last day of the time period.\n(2) If the last day is Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal holiday, the time period ends on the next business day.\nExample: On a Thursday, a borrower receives a final SBA loan review decision. The time period begins on Thursday, so the first day to count is Friday. Because the 30th calendar day after receipt of the decision is a Saturday, the appeal deadline extends to the next business day, which is Monday.\n(3)(i) A Judge may modify any time period or deadline, except:\n(A) The time period governing commencement of a case (i.e., when the appeal petition may be filed); and\n(B) A time period established by statute.\n(ii) A party may move for an extension of time pursuant to § 134.211.\n(d) A timely appeal by a PPP borrower of a final SBA loan review decision extends the deferment period of the PPP loan until a final decision is issued under § 134.1211.","path":["Title 13—Business Credit and Assistance","CHAPTER I—SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION","PART 134—RULES OF PROCEDURE GOVERNING CASES BEFORE THE OFFICE OF HEARINGS AND APPEALS","Subpart L—Borrower Appeals of Final SBA Loan Review Decisions"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-13.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:18Z","sha256":"0f56c3f438612a147990d89a70676f0175c3fbbabfdf0479329ef79826ab7c6f","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/13-cfr-134.1201","next":"us/13-cfr-134.1203"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
