The SBA initially attempted to charge $100 for this. After unsuccessfully attempting to negotiate with the paralegal who was handling the case, I filed a FOIA appeal the evening of 10/7 via email to the SBA's general council and FOIA liaison (as the paralegal never responded when asked how to file an appeal) . The morning of 10/8, the files were in my email box sent from the paralegal who attempted to charge $100. Another email came from the Chief FOI officer saying the $100 charge was improper and to expect the files in the immediate future. I received this file as a csv file along with a PDF of FOIA charges and another PDF with explanation of office codes. The CSV was turned into this PDF so it could be placed on Scribd. Received records 10:35AM EDT via email.
