Greenkraft to more quickly begin selling 

vehicles which will allow the company 

to begin realizing revenues from vehicle 

sales. The revenues from these vehicle 

sales will allow Greenkraft to continue 

to employee individuals involved in the 

manufacture and sale of these vehicles. 

We note that prospective purchasers 

will be notified that the vehicle is 

exempted from the requirements in 

paragraph S10 of FMVSS No. 108, 

Lamps, Reflective Devices, and 

Associated Equipment. Under 49 CFR 

555.9(b), a manufacturer of an exempted 

vehicle must affix securely to the 

windshield or side window of each 

exempted vehicle a label containing a 

statement that the vehicle conforms to 

all applicable FMVSSs in effect on the 

date of manufacture ‘‘except for 

Standard Nos. [listing the standards by 

number and title for which an 

exemption has been granted] exempted 

pursuant to NHTSA Exemption No. __

__.’’ This label notifies prospective 

purchasers about the exemption and its 

subject. Under § 555.9(c), this 

information must also be included on 

the vehicle’s certification label. 

E. Agency Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, we 

conclude that granting the requested 

exemption from the requirements in 

paragraph S10 of FMVSS No. 108, 

Lamps, Reflective Devices, and 

Associated Equipment, would facilitate 

the development or field evaluation of 

a low-emission vehicle, and would not 

unreasonably lower the safety or impact 

protection level of that vehicle if the 

vehicle is marketed as a commercial 

vehicle for use during day light hours. 

Marketing the 1061 and 1083 models for 

any purpose that would entail 

substantial use at night is not consistent 

with this temporary exemption. We 

further conclude that granting this 

exemption is in the public interest and 

consistent with the objectives of the 

Safety Act subject to the conditions 

described above. We would like to 

emphasize that this exemption from 

FMVSS No. 108, Lamps, Reflective 

Devices, and Associated Equipment is 

limited to paragraph S10 of that 

standard. Any vehicle manufactured or 

sold under this exemption must 

conform to all other applicable 

requirements of FMVSS No. 108. This 

exemption is limited to 120 CNG fueled 

vehicles. In addition, this exemption is 

conditioned on Greenkraft’s marketing 

the exempted vehicles as commercial 

vehicles for use during day light hours. 

As part of these efforts, Greenkraft 

should ensure that potential purchasers 

are informed that the exempted vehicles 

should be used primarily during 

daylight hours. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

30113(b)(3)(B)(iii), Greenkraft is granted 

NHTSA Temporary Exemption No. EX 

15–01 from paragraph S10 of FMVSS 

No. 108. The exemption shall be 

effective from the date on which notice 

of this decision is published in the 

Federal Register until December 31, 

2015, as indicated in the DATES section 

of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: CDFI Bond Guarantee Program 

Reporting Forms. 

OMB Number: 1559–0044. 

Abstract: The purpose of the CDFI 

Bond Guarantee Program is to support 

CDFI lending by providing Guarantees 

for Bonds issued by Qualified Issuers as 

part of a Bond Issue for Eligible 

Community or Economic Development 

Purposes. The CDFI Bond Guarantee 

Program provides CDFIs with a new 

source of long-term capital and furthers 

the mission of the CDFI Fund to 

increase economic opportunity and 

promote community and economic 

development investments for 

underserved populations and in 

distressed communities in the United 

States. The CDFI Fund achieves its 

mission by promoting access to capital 

and local economic growth by investing 

in, supporting, and training CDFIs. 

The CDFI Fund held two-day 

application workshops on June 10–11, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

12062 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 43 / Thursday, March 5, 2015 / Notices 

2014 in Washington, DC. During these 

workshops, representatives of the CDFI 

Bond Guarantee Program met with 

potential applicants regarding the FY 

2013 Qualified Issuer and Guarantee 

Application requirements. Specifically, 

the workshops explored the financial 

structure of the program, including roles 

of the Qualified Issuer, Program 

Administrator, and Servicer; reporting 

requirements; and compliance-related 

activities. Although participants in 

these workshops expressed overall 

enthusiasm and support for conforming 

to the CDFI Fund’s reporting process, 

they noted a lack of substantive data in 

this area and recommended that the 

CDFI Fund describe and specify its postissuance information collection 

practices for the CDFI Bond Guarantee 

Program. 

In compliance with OMB Circular A– 

129, the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program 

will collect all necessary information to 

manage the portfolio effectively and 

track progress towards policy goals. The 

proposed reporting form will add 

significantly to the Department of the 

Treasury’s review and impact analysis 

on the use of Bond Proceeds in 

underserved communities and support 

the CDFI Fund in proactively managing 

portfolio risks and performance. Risk 

detection and mitigation are crucial 

activities for the long-term operation 

and viability of the CDFI Bond 

Guarantee Program. The Department of 

the Treasury’s authority to collect this 

information and the specified data 

collection areas and parameters are 

consistent with the annual and periodic 

financial reporting requirements for the 

CDFI Bond Guarantee Program as 

defined in 12 CFR 1808.619. 

The CDFI Fund currently utilizes its 

Community Investment Impact System 

(CIIS), which collects data from CDFIs 

that have received monetary awards 

from the CDFI Fund through several of 

its other programs. CDFI Program and 

Native American CDFI Assistance 

Program (NACA Program) awardees are 

required to report total portfolio and 

financial data for three years. However, 

there is no standardized data on the full 

universe of Certified CDFIs, especially 

unregulated loan funds that do not have 

award reporting history. Moreover, nonregulated Certified CDFIs frequently 

utilize disparate accounting 

methodologies and report certain data 

points, such as borrower defaults and 

delinquencies, in ways that are difficult 

to compare across organizations. 

Nonprofit Certified CDFIs are yet more 

difficult to compare due to the variety 

of reporting options available to 

nonprofit institutions under generally 

accepted accounting principles. This 

report, in addition to the previously 

proposed reports of the CDFI Bond 

Guarantee Program, addresses this 

challenge in standardized data 

collection and allows Certified CDFIs to: 

(i) Demonstrate the ability to deploy 

long-term debt successfully with 

reporting requirements similar to those 

required of regulated financial 

institutions; (ii) provide a mechanism 

for accurately assessing Certified CDFI 

credit risk; and (iii) provide capital 

markets with a record of 

accomplishment on which to base 

future lending and investment. 

Current Actions: New Collection. 

Type of Review: Regular Review. 

Affected Public: Certified CDFIs and 

Qualified Issuers. 

Estimated Number Certified CDFI 

Respondents: 10. 

Estimated Annual Time per Certified 

CDFI Respondent: 25 hours. 

Estimated Number of Qualified Issuer 

Respondents: 10. 

Estimated Annual Time per Qualified 

Issuer Respondent: 50 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 750 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 

Web site at http://www.cdfifund.gov. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

consistent with the stated background 

and proposed use necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the CDFI Fund; (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 

operational or maintenance costs to 

provide information. 

The CDFI Fund specifically requests 

comments concerning the following 

questions: 

(1) Will the annual assessment be 

effective in evaluating Qualified Issuers 

or are there other alternatives by which 

Qualified Issuers could be assessed? 

(2) Should Qualified Issuers have the 

ability to conduct the annual assessment 

for Eligible CDFIs, provided that they 

have the appropriate qualifications? 

(3) Is there additional information or 

instruction that the CDFI Fund can 

provide to clarify the expectations 

associated with the annual assessment 

evaluation? 

(4) What are the appropriate steps for 

the CDFI Fund to take in the event that 

the annual assessment completed by the 

third party vendor fails to adequately 

evaluate a participant’s performance on 

the expected criteria?
