SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Emergency Capital Investment
Program Initial Supplemental Report
and Quarterly Supplemental Report.
OMB Control Number: 1505–0275.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Description: Authorized by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,
the Emergency Capital Investment
Program (ECIP) was created to
encourage low- and moderate-income
community financial institutions to
augment their efforts to support small
businesses and consumers in their
communities.
Under the program, Treasury will
provide approximately $8.75 billion in
capital directly to depository
institutions that are certified
Community Development Financial
Institutions (CDFIs) or minority
depository institutions (MDIs) to, among
other things, provide loans, grants, and
forbearance for small businesses,
minority-owned businesses, and
consumers, especially in low-income
and underserved communities, that may
be disproportionately impacted by the
economic effects of the COVID–19
pandemic.
ECIP capital is eligible for a reduction
in the dividend or interest rate payable
on the instruments depending on the
increase in lending by the recipients of
the capital (Recipients) within minority,
rural, and urban low-income and
underserved communities and to lowand moderate-income borrowers over a

baseline amount of lending. Recipients
are required to submit an Initial
Supplemental Report and quarterly
reports to determine their increase in
lending to the specified targeted
communities over the baseline and
therefore their qualification for rate
reductions on the dividend or interest
rates payable on the ECIP instruments.
In addition, these reports will collect
data necessary for Treasury and other
oversight bodies to evaluate program
outcomes over time.
Treasury uses the Initial
Supplemental Report to establish a
baseline amount of qualified lending.
Treasury proposes to continue use of
this form to collect additional or
restated data on a Recipient’s amount of
baseline lending, such as in connection
with mergers, acquisitions, or other
business combinations. Instructions
may be modified from time to time to
accommodate these uses.
Treasury proposes to use the
Quarterly Supplemental Report to
collect the information required to
establish a Recipient’s increase in
lending. The Quarterly Supplemental
Report has two components: (1)
schedules which must be completed
each quarter that collect data on activity
for the preceding quarter and (2)
schedules that collect data on the
preceding four quarters of activity that
are submitted annually. There are
separate schedules and instructions for
insured depository institutions, bank
holding companies, and savings and
loan holding companies; and credit
unions.
Quarterly Report Schedules:
Recipients of ECIP investments will be
required to submit two schedules on a
quarterly basis. Schedule A—Summary
Qualified Lending is used to collect the
Qualified Lending and Deep Impact
Lending, as defined in the Glossary in
the Instructions to the Quarterly
Supplemental Report, of a Recipient for
a given quarter. Schedule A is therefore
used to establish the growth in a
Recipient’s Qualified Lending over its
baseline Qualified Lending for the
purposes of calculating the payment rate
on the ECIP preferred shares or
subordinated debt issued by the
Recipient. Schedule B—Disaggregated
Qualified Lending is used to present
further detail on the composition of the
Participant’s Qualified and Deep Impact
Lending.
Annual Report Schedules: Annually,
Recipients will report on up to ten (10)
additional schedules, depending on the
origination activity that took place
during the prior year. Schedule C—
Additional Demographic Data on
Qualified Lending collects additional

demographic data on certain categories
of Qualified Lending and Deep Impact
Lending. Schedule D—Additional Placebased Data on Qualified Lending
collects additional geographic data on
certain categories of Qualified Lending
and Deep Impact Lending.
Forms: Initial Supplemental Report
and Instructions, Quarterly
Supplemental Report Instructions and
Schedules.
Affected Public: Recipients of
investments through the Emergency
Capital Investment Program.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
190 (5 for the Initial Supplemental
Report; 185 for the Quarterly
Supplemental Report).
Frequency of Response: Initial
Supplemental Report—One time
annually; Quarterly Supplemental
Report—Four times annually for
Schedules A and B, Annually for
Schedules C and D.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: Initial Supplemental
Report—5; Quarterly Supplemental
Report—740 for Schedules A & B and
185 for Schedule C and D.
Estimated Time per Response: 8 hours
annually for the Initial Supplemental
Report; 40 hours annually for the
Quarterly Supplemental Report
Schedules A & B + 120 hours for
Schedules C & D.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 29,640.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
Comments are invited on: (a) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of technology; and (e) estimates of
capital or start-up costs and costs of
operation, maintenance, and purchase
of services required to provide
information.
In addition, Treasury seeks comments
on the following:
1. For the Quarterly Supplemental
Report, Treasury is considering
updating the datasets used to identify
certain place-based targeted
communities periodically, based on
availability. For example, from time to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:43 Nov 23, 2022
Jkt 259001
time, updated Area Median Income data
is published by the Census Bureau or
other relevant data sources. Recipients
would be required to use this new data
in order to classify originations going
forward. How frequently should
Treasury update this data—never,
annually, every five years, some other
time period? Treasury anticipates that a
transition period would be implemented
each time such reference data is
updated. Would a one-year transition
period be sufficient?
2. Treasury welcomes comments on
sources of data through which
origination data requested by ECIP is
already reported to the federal
government and for which Treasury
may determine that collection of the
data by the Quarterly Supplemental
Report represents a duplication of
reporting.
3. Are there additional data points
that Treasury should consider
collecting, in addition to those
proposed?
4. Treasury seeks comments on the
instructions or other guidance that
would be helpful to Recipients to better
understand their reporting obligations
on the Initial Supplemental Report or
Quarterly Supplemental Report.
