SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, invites the general public and 

other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law No. 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the 

Community Development Financial 

Institutions Fund (the Fund) of the 

Department of the Treasury is soliciting 

comments concerning a voluntary 

information collection effort involving 

all Fund Programs. The specific 

information collection relates to the 

voluntary collection of narrative 

descriptions of projects financed by 

Fund awardees and allocatees in 

response to the public’s request for 

better and more narrative information 

on impact and best practices associated 

with all of the Fund’s Programs. The 

purpose is to more fully describe and 

record the innovative approaches 

community development financial 

institutions (CDFIs) and community 

development entities (CDEs) use in 

revitalizing communities and serving 

families. Fund awardees and allocatees 

will be invited to submit narratives on 

one or more projects that they believe 

demonstrate best practices or high 

impact. The project description may be 

for a project previously reported to the 

Fund through the Community 

Investment Impact System (CIIS) or for 

a new project that has not yet been 

reported in CIIS. The Fund plans to use 

the descriptions in Fund publications 

and on the Fund’s Web site to highlight 

the work of its awardees and allocatees. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 13, 2007 to 

be assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: CDFI/CDE Project Profile Web 

Form. 

Abstract: The voluntary collection of 

narrative descriptions of projects 

financed by Fund awardees and 

allocatees via the CDFI/CDE Project 

Profile Web Form is in response to the 

public’s request for better and more 

narrative information on impact and 

best practices associated with all of the 

Fund’s Programs. The purpose is to 

more fully describe and record the 

innovative approaches community 

development financial institutions 

(CDFIs) and community development 

entities (CDEs) use in revitalizing 

communities and serving families. Each 

best practice is generated by one or 

more of four CDFI Fund Programs: 

1. Through the CDFI Program by 

directly investing in, supporting and 

training CDFIs that provide loans, 

investments, financial services and 

technical assistance to underserved 

populations and communities; 

2. Through the New Markets Tax 

Credit (NMTC) Program by providing an 

allocation of tax credit authority to 

community development entities (CDEs) 

which enable them to attract investment 

from the private-sector and to reinvest 

these amounts in low-income 

communities; 

3. Through the Bank Enterprise 

Award (BEA) Program by providing an 

incentive to banks to invest in their 

communities and in other CDFIs; and 

4. Through the Native American CDFI 

Assistance (NACA) Program, by taking 

action to provide financial assistance, 

technical assistance, and training to 

Native CDFIs and other Native entities 

proposing to become or create Native 

CDFIs. 

Current Actions: Currently designing 

and test marketing the CDFI/CDE Project 

Profile Web Form. 

Type of review: New. 

Affected Public: CDFIs and CDEs; 

including business or other for-profit 

institutions, nonprofit entities, and 

State, local and Tribal entities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

100. 

Estimated Annual Time per 

Respondent: 2.5 Hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 250 Hours.
