SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Evaluation of the Community 

Development Financial Institution Fund 

(CDFI Fund) Bank Enterprise Award 

(BEA) Program. 

OMB Number: 1559–NEW. 

Type of Review: Regular Review. 

Abstract: The BEA Program 

Evaluation is designed to support the 

CDFI Fund’s overall mission to increase 

economic opportunity and provide 

community development investments in 

underserved populations and distressed 

communities within the United States. 

Specifically, the evaluation will assist 

the CDFI Fund in its assessment of a 

program administered to complement 

community development activities of 

insured depository institutions. The 

BEA Program provides financial 

assistance to FDIC-insured depository 

institutions for expanding investments 

in CDFIs, and increasing lending, 

investment, and service activities within 

economically distressed communities 

with at least 30 percent of residents 

having incomes less than the national 

poverty level, and at least 1.5 times the 

national unemployment rate. 

The program evaluation is designed to 

assess: 

• The effectiveness of the BEA 

Program as a mechanism for providing 

performance-based awards; 

• The influence of the BEA Program 

and BEA Program awards on bank 

behavior and investment patterns; 

• The impact of the BEA Program 

awards on award recipients and 

distressed communities; and 

• The impact of BEA Program-eligible 

investments in CDFIs and in distressed 

communities. 

The primary audience for the BEA 

Program evaluation will include key 

leadership from the population of 

approximately 156 FDIC-insured 

financial institutions that applied for 

BEA Program awards during calendar 

years 2012, 2013, or 2014. In addition, 

the evaluation audience will include a 

sample of CDFI Partners (CDFIs that 

were recipients of loans or investments 

from BEA Program applicants or 

awardees). 

An online survey will be 

administered to address the study 

objectives and related research 

questions. The survey instrument will 

be organized into the following major 

categories and related topics: 

• Organizational Profile 

Æ Assessment Area 

Æ Service Area 

Æ Community Reinvestment Act 

(CRA) Asset Size (Used to Determine 

Bank Size) 

Æ Number of Awards and Dollar 

Amount 

Æ Activity Category 

Æ Institution type (e.g., CDFI, 

Community Bank) 

• Effectiveness of the BEA Program as 

a mechanism for providing performance 

based awards. 

Æ Extent to which banks’ decisions to 

apply for a BEA Program award was 

driven by economic or financial rewards 

(e.g., increase profitability, improve 

capital ratios, risk mitigation, etc.). 

Æ Extent to which the Qualified 

Activities that formed the basis for the 

bank’s application were driven by 

regulatory factors (e.g., CRA, CAMELS 

ratings, etc.). 

Æ Degree to which the Qualified 

Activities that formed the basis for 

banks’ applications needed support 

(e.g., financial assistance) from a BEA 

Program award. 

• Influence of the BEA Program on 

Bank Behavior and Investment Patterns. 

Æ Extent to which FDIC-insured 

financial institutions have provided 

loans, investments, or assistance to 

CDFI’s in BEA qualified distressed 

communities during the assessment 

period. 

Æ Types of support provided. 

Æ Types of CDFIs most frequently 

receiving support from FDIC-insured 

financial institutions (e.g., banks, loan 

funds, venture capital funds, or credit 

unions). 

Æ Primary reason(s) why FDICinsured financial institutions have 

provided loans, investments, or 

assistance to various types of CDFIs in 

BEA qualified distressed communities. 

Æ Extent to which banks had 

provided financial products and/or 

services in the distressed community 

before the applicable assessment period. 

Æ Level of effort, cost, and risk 

associated with carrying out the 

Qualified Activities that formed the 

basis for the bank’s application (and 

variation by type of activity). 

Æ Estimated ratio of the dollar 

amount of the Qualified Activities that 

formed the basis for a bank’s application 

to the amount of the BEA Program 

award calculated for the Qualified 

Activities. 

Æ Estimate on the extent to which the 

bank’s actual Qualified Activities 

exceed the amount included in their 

BEA applications. 

• Impact of the BEA Program awards 

on Recipient Banks and Distressed 

Communities. 

Æ Perceived impact of BEA Program 

awards on recipient banks.
