SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Evaluation of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program. OMB Number: Not yet assigned. Type of Request: New collection of information. Abstract: The NMTC Program was established by the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 to encourage PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 private capital investment in lowincome communities that are, or are perceived to be, high investment risks. It permits individual and corporate taxpayers to receive a credit against federal income taxes for making qualified equity investments in designated Community Development Entities (CDEs). Substantially all of the qualified equity investment must in turn be used by CDEs to provide investments in Qualified Active Low-Income Community Businesses (QALICBs), which include both operating businesses and real estate developments. The federal tax credits are allocated competitively by the CDFI Fund to CDEs. CDEs, in turn, select the projects in which to invest. There is considerable flexibility and, consequently, variability with respect to the types of projects that can be supported by NMTC-stimulated investments. They can include for-profit and non-profit businesses involving a range of commercial, industrial, retail, manufacturing, mixed-uses, and facilities such as for childcare, health or charter schools. The evaluation involves multiple research methods to produce valid evidence for describing and assessing program activities and outcomes. The focus is on the program’s primary objective of attracting capital to lowincome, economically distressed communities so as to further their economic and community development. The evaluation is intended to inform an array of important policy questions, including: How and in what manner the program is affecting the flow of new private capital to low-income communities; where, in what timeframe, and how that capital is invested to achieve community and economic E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM 04FEN1
