SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Native American CDFI 

Assistance (NACA) Program 

Application. 

OMB Number: 1559–0025. 

Abstract: Through NACA, the CDFI 

Fund provides Financial Assistance 

(FA) awards to Native CDFIs whose 

Comprehensive Business Plans 

demonstrate community development 

impact. Impact is measured through the 

deployment of credit, capital, and 

financial services to the applicant’s 

Target Markets or an expansion into 

new Investment Areas, Low-Income 

Targeted Populations, or Other Targeted 

Populations. 

The CDFI Fund also provides 

Technical Assistance (TA) grants to 

certified CDFIs, Sponsoring Entities 

(such as Tribal governments), and other 

organizations proposing to become 

Native CDFIs in order to build their 

capacity to better address the 

community development and capital 

access needs of their existing or 

proposed Target Markets and/or to 

become certified CDFIs. The regulations 

governing the CDFI Program are found 

at 12 CFR part 1805 and provide 

guidance on evaluation criteria and 

other requirements of NACA. 

The questions that the application 

contains, and the information generated 

thereby, will enable the CDFI Fund to 

evaluate applicants’ activities and 

determine the extent of applicants’ 

eligibility for a NACA award. Failure to 

collect this information could result in 

improper uses of Federal funds. 

Current Actions: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Type of Review: Regular Review. 

Affected Public: Certified NACA 

CDFIs and entities seeking NACA CDFI 

Certification. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

100 

Estimated Annual Time per 

Respondent: 100 hours 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 10,000 hours 

Requests for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record and 

may be published on the CDFI Fund 

website at http://www.cdfifund.gov. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the CDFI Fund, 

including whether the information shall 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the CDFI Fund’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 to provide information. 

The CDFI Fund specifically requests 

comments concerning the following: (1) 

Whether offering separate applications 

for the FA and TA components would 

reduce the burden on applicants; (2) if 

an applicant eligibility screen should be 

applied before the application deadline, 

allowing applicants to determine 

beforehand if they would be qualified to 

receive an award; (3) if detailed 

Matching Funds documentation should 

be collected later in the application 

review process, and if the Matching 

Funds documentation is to be collected, 

what is a reasonable amount of time to 

expect an applicant to provide this data; 

(4) the merit of reducing the narrative 

page limits in the application; (5) the 

potential burden of requiring specific 

documents to support proposed uses of 

TA funds, namely Statements of Work 

for professional services, and resumes 

and/or position descriptions for 

personnel; and (6) the potential burden 

of requiring additional documentation 

to support the application, namely tax 

returns (Form 990), Certificates of Good 

Standing, operating budgets, lists of 

sources of capital, rate sheets for 

products and services, and borrower 

characteristic profiles. 

Authority: 12 CFR part 1805. 

Dated: March 3, 2010.
