Development Entity (CDE) must have
submitted an application for CDE
certification that was postmarked on or
before August 9, 2013 (see Section III of
the NOAA for more details).
Executive Summary: This notice
amends the NOAA that was published
on July 29, 2013 (78 FR 45604) for the
combined calendar year 2013 and 2014
allocation round of the NMTC Program,
as authorized by Title I, subtitle C,
section 121 of the Community Renewal
Tax Relief Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–554)
and as amended thereafter. Through the
NMTC Program, the CDFI Fund
provides authority to CDEs to offer an
incentive to investors in the form of tax
credits over seven years, which is
expected to stimulate the provision of
private investment capital that, in turn,
will facilitate economic and community
development in Low-Income
Communities.
The July 29, 2013 NOAA announced
the availability of up to $8.5 billion of
NMTC investment authority, $3.5
billion of which was authorized by
American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012
and an additional $5.0 billion, which
was subject to Congressional
authorization. Because the CDFI Fund
has not received Congressional
allocation authority for calendar year
2014 as of the date of this notice, it is
amending the July 29, 2013 NOAA to
reflect the authorized authority for
calendar year 2013 only. Thus, this
notice revises the July 29, 2013 NOAA
such that the funding opportunity
announced therein no longer includes
the combined calendar years 2013 and
2014, but is for calendar year 2013 only.
Decrease in Allocation Authority: The
July 29, 2013 NOAA announced that
there would be a total of $8.5 billion of
NMTC allocation authority available in
the combined calendar year 2013 and
2014 Allocation Round. This notice
revises the July 29, 2013 NOAA such
that $3.5 billion of NMTC allocation
authority is available for calendar year
2013 only.
Decrease of Award Amount: The July
29, 2013 NOAA also announced that the
CDFI Fund anticipates that it will
provide allocation awards of not more
than $125 million per Allocatee. Due to
not having allocation authority for
calendar year 2014 as of the date of this
notice, this notice revises the July 29,
2013 NOAA such that the CDFI Fund
now expects that it may provide
allocation awards of not more than $100
million of allocation per Allocatee.
All other information and
requirements set forth in the July 29,
2013 NOAA shall remain effective, as
published.
