We calculate the one-loop corrections in bispectrum of CMB scale perturbations induced from the small scale modes undergoing an intermediate phase of USR inflation in scenarios employed for PBHs formation. Using the formalism of effective field theory of inflation we calculate the cubic and quartic Hamiltonians and perform the in-in analysis for a subset of Feynman diagrams comprising both the cubic and the quartic exchange vertices. We show the one-loop corrections in bispectrum has the local shape with fNL having the same structure as the one-loop correction in power spectrum in their dependence on the duration of the USR phase and the sharpness of the transition to the final attractor phase. It is shown that in the models with a sharp transition the induced loop corrections in bispectrum can quickly violate the observational bounds on fNL.
