Thousands of U.S. banks, including some of the country’s largest lenders, have said they may not participate in the federal government’s small-business rescue program due to concerns about taking on too much legal and financial risk, five people with direct knowledge of industry discussions told Reuters.

The story is actually already a little bit out of date. The SPA published some clarifying rules yesterday that addressed some of the banks legal issues.

A number of the big banks started taking applications this morning, including folks like Bank of America.
