Capitalized terms not defined in this Notice (other than titles) have the meaning set forth in the CMF Interim Rule (12 CFR 1807). CMF Awards must be used to attract private financing for and increase investment in: (i) the Development, Preservation, Rehabilitation, and Purchase of Affordable Housing for primarily Extremely Low-, Very Low-, and LowIncome Families; and (ii) Economic Development Activities which, in conjunction with Affordable Housing Activities, will implement a Concerted Strategy to stabilize or revitalize a LowIncome Area or an Underserved Rural Area.

For most compliance measures, AMIS calculates whether the Recipient is compliant or noncompliant based on the data reported into the system. When the system determines that a noncompliance has occurred, the Recipient is required to complete an explanation of noncompliance prior to submitting the report to the CDFI Fund. This notice requests PRA approval for the CMF Performance Report. This report is a modified version of the previous CMF Performance Report, which was under OMB Number 1559– 0036.
