Currently, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), Department of the Treasury, is soliciting comments concerning the Annual Certification and Data Collection Report Form. This reporting form will enable the CDFI Fund to recertify Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) on an annual basis and reduce the burden of the re-certification process that currently occurs every three years. In addition to recertifying CDFIs, this report also seeks to collect financial and impact data on an annual basis to provide the CDFI Fund and the industry with more insight into the state and accomplishments of CDFIs. The process for data collection and reporting is expected to take place via electronic submission to the CDFI Fund pending the implementation of an electronic submission process. The Annual Certification and Data Collection Report Form may be obtained from the CDFI Certification page of the CDFI Fund’s Web site at https://www.cdfifund.gov/ cdficert. The term CDFI is defined in regulations that govern the CDFI Program (at 12 CFR 1805). DATES: Written comments should be received on or before September 8, 2014 to be assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: CDFI Annual Certification and Data Collection Report Form. OMB Number: 1559–0044. Abstract: A certified CDFI is a specialized financial institution that works in markets that are underserved by traditional financial institutions. CDFIs provide a unique range of financial products and services in economically distressed target markets, such as mortgage financing for lowincome and first-time homebuyers and not-for-profit developers, flexible underwriting and risk capital for needed community facilities, and technical assistance, commercial loans and investments to small start-up or expanding businesses in low-income areas. CDFIs include regulated institutions such as community development banks and credit unions, and non-regulated institutions such as loan and venture capital funds. CDFI certification is a designation conferred by the CDFI Fund and is a requirement for: accessing financial assistance from the CDFI Fund through the CDFI Program, the Native American CDFI Assistance Program, and the Capital Magnet Fund; receiving certain benefits under the Bank Enterprise Award Program; and participation as an Eligible CDFI under the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program. Currently, CDFIs are currently recertified every three years. The CDFI Annual Certification and Data Collection Report Form would replace the extensive process conducted every three years with an annual report. This report will also collect financial and impact data from all CDFIs regardless of whether or not they have received monetary awards in their last fiscal year. This report is a preliminary method to collect standardized data on the full universe of certified CDFIs. Current Actions: New collection. Type of Review: Regular review.
