# §123.800. Purpose.

- (a) **Purpose.** The purpose of this subpart is to ensure SBA Disaster Loans issued pursuant to [15 U.S.C. 636(b)](/usc/15/636.md?p=b) achieve their Congressionally intended goal of rapid repair, rehabilitation and replacement of disaster-damaged real property financed through such loans; to prevent State or Local Requirements (hereafter defined) from delaying and thus frustrating the SBA Disaster Loan program's objective of timely, rapid assistance to and recovery for disaster victims; and to clarify the applicability of certain non-federal laws, codes, ordinances, regulations, permitting requirements, and other administrative practices to federally authorized disaster assistance.
