In addition to this comprehensive document on the program, the Treasury sent out a press release announcing simpler PPP forgiveness for loans of $50,000 or less. There are links in the press release to pdfs of: (1) the simpler loan forgiveness application, (2) the instructions for completing the simpler loan forgiveness application, and (3) the Interim Final Rule on the simpler forgiveness process for loans of $50,000 or less.
