Repeals provisions allowing participating lenders providing loans of less than $75,000 to retain a portion of the loan guarantee fee charged by the SBA. Directs the SBA to assess and collect an annual fee, to be payable by the participating lender and not charged to the borrower, in an aggregate amount equal to 0.5 percent of the outstanding balance of the deferred participation share of the loan. Directs the SBA to notify the congressional small business committees at least 15 days before making any significant policy or administrative change affecting the operation of the SBA loan program. Amends the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 to direct the SBA, with respect to each guaranteed loan made from the proceeds of development company debentures issued by qualified State or local development companies, to: (1) assess and collect a fee for such loan, payable by the borrower; and (2) use the fee proceeds to offset the cost of making such loan guarantees.
