Allocation Round of the NMTC Program.

DATES: Electronic applications must have been received by 5:00 p.m. ET

SUMMARY: This NOAA update is issued to combine calendar year (CY) 
2015--CY 2016 tax credit allocation rounds of the NMTC Program, 
authorized by Title I, subtitle C, section 121 of the Community Renewal 
Tax Relief Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-554), as amended (the Act). On 
October 23, 2015, in the NOAA for the CY 2015 allocation round of the 
NMTC Program (the CY 2015 NOAA, 80 Federal Register 64495), the 
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (the CDFI Fund) 
announced, among other things, that the CY 2015 NMTC allocation amount 
would be up to $5.0 billion, subject to Congressional authorization. In 
the NOAA for the CY 2015 allocation round the CDFI Fund also reserved 
the right to allocate amounts in excess of or less than the anticipated 
allocation amount of $5 billion. Pursuant to the passage of the 
Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act), the 
authorization for the NMTC Program has been extended for five calendar 
years (CY 2015 through CY 2019) with $3.5 billion in annual NMTC 
allocation authority. In order to make NMTC allocation awards in the 
respective calendar years as set forth in the PATH Act, the CDFI Fund 
hereby amends the CY 2015 NOAA to combine the CY 2015 and the CY 2016 
NMTC authorities into one allocation round (herein referred to as the 
``combined CY 2015-2016 allocation round''). Accordingly, the NMTC 
allocation authority announced in this revised NOAA being made 
available in the combined CY 2015-2016 allocation round includes both 
the amount authorized for CY 2015 ($3.5 billion) and the amount 
authorized for CY 2016 ($3.5 billion), resulting in a total NMTC 
allocation amount of $7.0 billion for the combined CY 2015-2016 
allocation round.
    Combination of Allocation Authority: The CY 2015 NOAA announced an 
expected total of up to $5.0 billion of NMTC allocation authority 
available in the CY 2015 round, subject to Congressional authorization. 
The PATH Act authorized an annual allocation authority of $3.5 billion 
for five years (CY 2015 to CY 2019). In order to allocate NMTC 
authority during the calendar year for which it was authorized, the CY 
2015 NOAA is hereby amended to include both CY 2015 ($3.5 billion) and 
CY $2016 ($3.5 billion), with a total of $7.0 billion in NMTC authority 
available in the combined CY 2015-2016 allocation round.
    Allocation Amounts: The CY 2015 NOAA announced that the CDFI Fund, 
in its sole discretion, reserves the right to award tax credit 
allocation authority in amounts that are in excess of or less than the 
anticipated maximum allocation should the CDFI Fund deem it 
appropriate. The CDFI Fund continues to anticipate that it will not 
issue more than $125 million in tax credit investment authority per 
Allocatee. However, those determinations will be made on a case-by-case 
basis and in the sole discretion of the CDFI Fund. The CDFI Fund 
continues to reserve the right to allocate NMTC authority to any, all, 
or none of the entities that submitted applications in response to this 
NOAA, and in any amount it deems appropriate.
    All other information and requirements set forth in the CY 2015 
NOAA shall remain effective, as published.
