Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 21.020 

Dates: Applications for Financial 

Assistance (FA) awards through the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round 

of the NACA Program must be received 

by 5 p.m. ET, Wednesday, May 27,

Executive Summary: For FY 2009, the 

Community Development Financial 

Institutions (CDFI) Fund (the Fund), an 

office within the Department of the 

Treasury, will conduct its NACA 

Program funding round in two 

components: (i) The Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round, as set forth in the 

NOFA published on October 1, 2008 (73 

FR 57196), and the Fund’s Recovery Act 

Implementation Plan, issued on March 

18, 2009 pursuant to the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(Pub. L. 111–5, Division A, Title V) 

(hereafter, the Recovery Act), and (ii) 

the Supplemental FY 2009 Funding 

Round, as set forth in this NOFA. 

Together, the two components comprise 

the FY 2009 Funding Round of the 

NACA Program. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

A. Through the NACA Program, the 

CDFI Fund provides: (i) FA awards to 

CDFIs that have at least 50 percent of 

their activities directed toward serving 

Native American, Alaskan Native and/or 

Native Hawaiian Communities (Native 

CDFIs) that have Comprehensive 

Business Plans for creating 

demonstrable community development 

impact through the deployment of 

credit, capital, and financial services 

within their respective Target Markets 

or the expansion into new Investment 

Areas, Low-Income Targeted 

Populations, or Other Targeted 

Populations, and (ii) technical 

assistance (TA) grants to Native CDFIs, 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
19284 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 

entities proposing to become Native 

CDFIs, and to Native organizations, 

Tribes, and Tribal organizations that 

propose to create Native CDFIs 

(Sponsoring Entities), in order to build 

the Native CDFIs’ capacity to better 

address the community development 

and capital access needs of their 

existing or proposed Target Markets 

and/or to become certified Native 

CDFIs. 

B. The regulations governing the CDFI 

Program are found at 12 CFR Part 1805 

(the Regulations) and provide guidance 

on evaluation criteria and other 

requirements of the NACA Program. The 

Fund encourages Applicants to review 

the Regulations. Detailed application 

content requirements are found in the 

applicable funding application and 

related guidance materials. Each 

capitalized term in this NOFA is more 

fully defined in the Regulations, the 

application, or the guidance materials. 

C. The Fund reserves the right to 

fund, in whole or in part, any, all, or 

none of the applications submitted in 

response to this NOFA. The Fund 

reserves the right to re-allocate funds 

from the amount that is anticipated to 

be available under this NOFA to other 

Fund programs, particularly if the Fund 

determines that the number of awards 

made under this NOFA is fewer than 

projected. 

II. Award Information 

A. Funding Availability: Through this 

NOFA, and subject to funding 

availability, the Fund expects that it 

may award approximately $8 million in 

appropriated funds. The Fund reserves 

the right to award in excess of $8 

million in appropriated funds to 

Applicants in the Supplemental FY 

2009 Funding Round, provided that the 

funds are available and the Fund deems 

it appropriate. 

B. Types of Awards: Funding for the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round 

of the NACA Program is limited to FA 

awards only; FA awards will be made 

only in the form of grants. FA awards 

are intended to provide flexible 

financial support to Native CDFIs so 

that they may achieve the strategies 

outlined in their Comprehensive 

Business Plans. FA awards can be used 

in the following four categories: (i) 

Financial Products, (ii) Loan Loss 

Reserves, (iii) Capital Reserves, and/or 

(iv) Operations. For purposes of this 

NOFA, Financial Products means loans, 

grants, equity investments and similar 

financing activities, including the 

purchase of loans originated by certified 

Native CDFIs and the provision of loan 

guarantees, in the Applicant’s Target 

Market, or for related purposes that the 

Fund deems appropriate. Loan Loss 

Reserves means funds that the 

Applicant will set aside in the form of 

cash, or through accounting-based 

accrual, reserves to cover losses on 

loans, accounts and notes receivable 

made in its Target Market, or for related 

purposes that the Fund deems 

appropriate. Capital Reserves means 

funds that the Applicant will set aside 

in the form of reserves to support the 

Applicant’s ability to leverage other 

capital, for such purposes as increasing 

its net assets or serving the financing 

needs of its Target Market, or for related 

purposes that the Fund deems 

appropriate. FA awards used for 

Operations refer to funds that the 

Applicant will use to undertake 

Development Services, Financial 

Services, and/or for related purposes 

that the Fund deems appropriate. FA 

awards are most commonly used for an 

Applicant’s Financial Products since FA 

funds can be used to support the 

Applicant’s community development 

lending activities. 

The Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to provide a FA award in an 

amount other than that which the 

Applicant requests; however, the award 

amount will not exceed the Applicant’s 

award request as stated in its 

Application. 

C. Notice of Award; Assistance 

Agreement: Each Awardee under this 

NOFA must sign a Notice of Award and 

an Assistance Agreement in order to 

receive a disbursement of award 

proceeds by the Fund. The Notice of 

Award and the Assistance Agreement 

contain the terms and conditions of the 

award. For further information, see 

Sections VI.A and VI.B of this NOFA. 

III. Eligibility Information 

A. Eligible Applicants: The 

Regulations specify the eligibility 

requirements that each Applicant must 

meet in order to be eligible to apply for 

assistance under this NOFA. The 

following sets forth additional detail 

and dates that relate to the submission 

of applications under this NOFA: 

1. Any Certified or Certifiable Native 

CDFI that did not apply in the Initial FY 

2009 Funding Round is eligible to apply 

for a FA award under the Supplemental 

FY 2009 Funding Round, as set forth in 

this NOFA. For eligibility criteria 

applicable to entities that submitted 

applications under the Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round, see Section III.A.2., 

below. 

2. Eligibility of Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round Applicants: 

(a) Any Applicant that submitted an 

application under the Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round will automatically be 

considered for funding through the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round, 

so long as the Applicant: (i) submitted 

an application for FA or FA/TA under 

the Initial FY 2009 Funding Round prior 

to the December 17, 2008 application 

deadline, and (ii) did not receive 

notification from either Grants.gov or 

the CDFI Fund that its application was 

declined, rejected, ineligible, or fatally 

incomplete. Such an Applicant does not 

need to submit a new application for an 

award through the Supplemental FY 

2009 Funding Round: meaning, the 

application that such an Applicant 

submitted for the Initial FY 209 Funding 

Round will be considered by the Fund 

for an award under the Supplemental 

FY 2009 Funding Round. Please note, 

however, that any Applicant that 

receives a FA award through the Initial 

FY 2009 Funding Round may not also 

receive a FA award through the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round. 

(b) An Applicant that applied for FA 

or FA/TA under the Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round whose application was 

submitted after the December 19, 2008 

application deadline, or that received 

notification from Grants.gov or the CDFI 

Fund that its application was declined, 

rejected, ineligible, or fatally incomplete 

must submit a new application under 

this NOFA in order to be eligible for 

funding in the Supplemental FY 2009 

Funding Round: meaning, the 

application that such an Applicant 

submitted for the Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round will not be considered 

for an award under the Supplemental 

FY 2009 Funding Round. 

(c) An Applicant that submitted an 

application for TA-Only under the 

Initial FY 2009 Funding Round must 

submit an application under this NOFA 

to be eligible for FA funding in the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round. 

3. FA Applicant Categories: All 

Applicants for FA awards through this 

NOFA must meet the criteria below: 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 19285 

TABLE 1—FA APPLICANT CRITERIA

FA applicant category Applicant criteria Applicant may apply for: Application deadline 

Native CDFI ................................... A Certified/Certifiable Native CDFI 

that meets all other eligibility requirements described in this 

NOFA.

Up to and including $750,000 in 

FA funds. However, the amount 

of FA funds awarded may be 

reduced by the amount of any 

TA awards received by an 

Awardee in the Initial FY 2009 

Funding Round.

5:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday, May 

27, 2009. 

Please note: (1) The Fund reserves the 

right, in its sole discretion, to award 

amounts in excess of or less than the 

anticipated maximum award amounts 

permitted in this NOFA, if the Fund 

deems it appropriate. (2) The term 

‘‘Native Initiatives Funding Programs’’ 

refers to the Native American CDFI 

Assistance (NACA) Program and all 

prior Native American funding 

programs sponsored by the Fund, 

through which funds are no longer 

available, including the Native 

American CDFI Technical Assistance 

(NACTA) Component of the CDFI 

Program, the Native American CDFI 

Development (NACD) Program, and the 

Native American Technical Assistance 

(NATA) Component of the CDFI 

Program. 

4. Native CDFI Certification 

Requirements: For purposes of this 

NOFA, eligible FA Applicants include 

Certified Native CDFIs and Certifiable 

Native CDFIs, defined as follows: 

(a) Certified Native CDFIs: For 

purposes of this NOFA, a Certified 

Native CDFI is an entity that has 

received official notification from the 

Fund that it meets all CDFI certification 

requirements as of March 18, 2009, the 

certification of which has not expired 

and that has not been notified by the 

Fund that its certification has been 

terminated. Each such Applicant must 

submit a ‘‘Certification of Material Event 

Form’’ to the Fund not later than May 

15, 2009. Please note: the Fund 

provided some Native CDFIs with 

written notification that their 

certifications had been extended. The 

Fund will consider the extended 

certification date (the later date) to 

determine whether those Native CDFIs 

meet this eligibility requirement. 

(b) Certifiable Native CDFIs: For 

purposes of this NOFA, a Certifiable 

Native CDFI is an entity from which the 

Fund has received a complete CDFI 

Certification Application no later than 

March 18, 2009, evidencing that the 

Applicant meets the requirements to be 

certified as a Native CDFI. Please note: 

while a Certifiable Native CDFI may be 

conditionally selected for a FA award 

(as evidenced through the Notice of 

Award), the Fund will not enter into an 

Assistance Agreement or disburse award 

funds unless and until the Fund has 

officially certified the organization as a 

Native CDFI. If the Fund is unable to 

certify the organization as a Native CDFI 

based on the CDFI certification 

application that the organization 

submits to the Fund, the Notice of 

Award may be terminated and the 

award commitment may be cancelled, in 

the sole discretion of the Fund. 

5. Limitation on Awards: An 

Applicant may receive only one FA 

award through the FY 2009 Funding 

Round of the NACA Program; meaning, 

any Applicant that receives a FA award 

under the Initial FY 2009 Funding 

Round may not also receive a FA award 

under the Supplemental FY 2009 

Funding Round. Further, the amount of 

a FA award made through the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round 

will be reduced by the amount of any 

TA award received by an Awardee in 

the Initial FY 2009 Funding Round. A 

NACA Program Applicant, its 

Subsidiaries or Affiliates also may apply 

for and receive a tax credit allocation 

through the NMTC Program, but only to 

the extent that the activities approved 

for NACA Program awards are different 

from those activities for which the 

Applicant receives a New Markets Tax 

Credit (NMTC) Program allocation. 

6. Waiver of General Applicability for 

FY 2009 BEA Program Applicants: For 

the purposes of the Supplemental FY 

2009 Funding Round of the CDFI 

Program, the Fund hereby waives the 

requirements of 12 CFR 

1805.102(a)(1)(i). All other requirements 

of 12 CFR 1805.102 remain in effect. 

Therefore, an Applicant may receive a 

FY 2009 Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) 

Program award if it has a CDFI Program 

application pending in the 

Supplemental FY 2009 Funding Round 

of the CDFI Program subject to the 

limitations of 12 CFR 1806.102. 

7. Contacting the Fund. The CDFI 

Certification Application and other 

information regarding CDFI certification 

may be obtained from the Fund’s Web 

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

B. Prior Awardees: Applicants must 

be aware that success in a prior round 

of any of the Fund’s programs is not 

indicative of success under this NOFA. 

For purposes of this section, the Fund 

will consider an Affiliate to be any 

entity that meets the definition of 

Affiliate in the Regulations or any entity 

otherwise identified as an Affiliate by 

the Applicant in its funding Application 

under this NOFA. Prior Awardees 

should note the following: 

1. $5 million funding cap: Pursuant to 

the Recovery Act, the $5 million dollar 

funding cap is waived for the FY 2009 

Funding Round of the NACA Program. 

2. Failure to meet reporting 

requirements: The Fund will not 

consider an application submitted by an 

Applicant if the Applicant, or an 

Affiliate of the Applicant is a prior Fund 

Awardee or allocatee under any Fund 

program and is not current on the 

reporting requirements set forth in a 

previously executed assistance, 

allocation or award agreement(s), as of 

the applicable application deadline of 

this NOFA. Please note that the Fund 

only acknowledges the receipt of reports 

that are complete. As such, incomplete 

reports or reports that are deficient of 

required elements will not be 

recognized as having been received. 

3. Pending resolution of 

noncompliance: If an Applicant is a 

prior Awardee or allocatee under any 

Fund program and if: (i) It has 

submitted complete and timely reports 

to the Fund that demonstrate 

noncompliance with a previous 

assistance, allocation, or award 

agreement; and (ii) the Fund has yet to 

make a final determination as to 

whether the entity is in default of its 

previous assistance, allocation, or award 

agreement, the Fund will consider the 

Applicant’s application under this 

NOFA pending full resolution, in the 

sole determination of the Fund, of the 

noncompliance. Further, if an Affiliate 

of the Applicant is a prior Fund 

Awardee or allocatee and if such entity: 

(i) Has submitted complete and timely 

reports to the Fund that demonstrate 

noncompliance with a previous 

assistance, allocation, or award 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
19286 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 

agreement; and (ii) the Fund has yet to 

make a final determination as to 

whether the entity is in default of its 

previous assistance, allocation, or award 

agreement, the Fund will consider the 

Applicant’s application under this 

NOFA pending full resolution, in the 

sole determination of the Fund, of the 

noncompliance. 

4. Default status: The Fund will not 

consider an application submitted by an 

Applicant that is a prior Fund Awardee 

or allocatee under any Fund program if, 

as of the applicable application deadline 

of this NOFA, the Fund has made a final 

determination that such Applicant is in 

default of a previously executed 

assistance, allocation, or award 

agreement(s). Further, an entity is not 

eligible to apply for an award pursuant 

to this NOFA if, as of the applicable 

application deadline of this NOFA, the 

Fund has made a final determination 

that an Affiliate of the Applicant is a 

prior Fund Awardee or allocatee under 

any Fund program and has been 

determined by the Fund to be in default 

of a previously executed assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s). Such 

entities will be ineligible to apply for an 

award pursuant to this NOFA so long as 

the Applicant’s, or its Affiliate’s, prior 

award or allocation remains in default 

status or such other time period as 

specified by the Fund in writing. 

5. Termination in default: The Fund 

will not consider an application 

submitted by an Applicant that is a 

prior Fund Awardee or allocatee under 

any Fund program if: (i) Within the 12- 

month period prior to the applicable 

application deadline of this NOFA, the 

Fund has made a final determination 

that such Applicant’s prior award or 

allocation terminated in default of a 

previously executed assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s); and 

(ii) the final reporting period end date 

for the applicable terminated assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s) falls 

within the 12-month period prior to the 

application deadline of this NOFA. 

Further, an entity is not eligible to apply 

for an award pursuant to this NOFA if: 

(i) Within the 12-month period prior to 

the applicable application deadline, the 

Fund has made a final determination 

that an Affiliate of the Applicant is a 

prior Fund Awardee or allocatee under 

any Fund program whose award or 

allocation terminated in default of a 

previously executed assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s); and 

(ii) the final reporting period end date 

for the applicable terminated assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s) falls 

within the 12-month period prior to the 

application deadline of this NOFA. 

6. Undisbursed award funds: The 

Fund will not consider an application 

submitted by an Applicant that is a 

prior Fund Awardee under any Fund 

program if the Applicant has a balance 

of undisbursed award funds (defined 

below) under said prior award(s), as of 

the applicable application deadline of 

this NOFA. Further, an entity is not 

eligible to apply for an award pursuant 

to this NOFA if an Affiliate of the 

Applicant is a prior Fund Awardee 

under any Fund program, and has a 

balance of undisbursed award funds 

under said prior award(s), as of the 

applicable application deadline of this 

NOFA. In a case where another entity 

that Controls the Applicant, is 

Controlled by the Applicant, or shares 

common management officials with the 

Applicant (as determined by the Fund), 

is a prior Fund Awardee under any 

Fund program and has a balance of 

undisbursed award funds under said 

prior award(s), as of the applicable 

application deadline of this NOFA, the 

Fund will include the combined awards 

of the Applicant and such Affiliated 

entities when calculating the amount of 

undisbursed award funds. For purposes 

of the calculation of undisbursed award 

funds for the BEA Program, only awards 

made to the Applicant (and any 

Affiliates) three to five calendar years 

prior to the end of the calendar year of 

the application deadline of this NOFA 

are included (‘‘includable BEA 

awards’’). Thus, for purposes of this 

NOFA, undisbursed BEA Program 

award funds are the amount of FY 2004, 

2005, and 2006 awards that remain 

undisbursed as of the application 

deadline of this NOFA. 

For purposes of the calculation of 

undisbursed award funds for the CDFI 

Program and the Native Initiatives 

Funding Programs, only awards made to 

the Applicant (and any Affiliates) two to 

five calendar years prior to the end of 

the calendar year of this NOFA are 

included (‘‘includable CDFI/NI 

awards’’). Thus, for purposes of this 

NOFA, undisbursed CDFI Program and 

NI awards are the amount of FYs 2004, 

2005, 2006, and 2007 awards that 

remain undisbursed as of the 

application deadline of this NOFA. 

To calculate total includable BEA/ 

CDFI/NI awards: amounts that are 

undisbursed as of the application 

deadline of this NOFA cannot exceed 

five percent (5%) of the total includable 

awards. Please refer to an example of 

this calculation on the Fund’s Web site, 

found in the Q&A document for the FY 

2009 Funding Round. 

The ‘‘undisbursed award funds’’ 

calculation does not include: (i) Tax 

credit allocation authority made 

available through the NMTC Program; 

(ii) any award funds for which the Fund 

received a full and complete 

disbursement request from the Awardee 

by the applicable application deadline 

of this NOFA; (iii) any award funds for 

an award that has been terminated in 

writing by the Fund or deobligated by 

the Fund; or (iv) any award funds for an 

award that does not have a fully 

executed assistance or award agreement. 

The Fund strongly encourages 

Applicants requesting disbursements of 

‘‘undisbursed funds’’ from prior awards 

to provide the Fund with a complete 

disbursement request at least 10 

business days prior to the application 

deadline of this NOFA. 

7. Contacting the Fund: Applicants 

that are prior Fund Awardees are 

advised to: (i) Comply with 

requirements specified in assistance, 

allocation and/or award agreement(s), 

and (ii) contact the Fund to ensure that 

all necessary actions are underway for 

the disbursement or deobligation of any 

outstanding balance of said prior 

award(s). Disbursement questions 

should be directed to Grants 

Management via e-mail to 

grantsmanagement@cdfi.treas.gov. 

Reporting and compliance questions 

should be directed to Compliance, 

Monitoring and Evaluation (CME) at

the date of the publication of this NOFA 

through May 25, 2009. The Fund will

disbursement or compliance phone calls 

or e-mail inquiries that are received 

after 5 p.m. ET on said date, until after

for the IRS and/or Dun and Bradstreet 

to respond to inquiries and/or requests 

for identification numbers. Once an 

application is submitted, the Applicant 

will not be allowed to change any

confirming application information 

(such as a DUNS number or EIN 

information). 

D. MyCDFIFund Accounts: All 

Applicants must register User and 

Organization accounts in myCDFIFund, 

the Fund’s Internet-based interface. An 

Applicant must be registered as both a 

User and an Organization in 

myCDFIFund as of the applicable 

application deadline in order to be 

considered to have submitted a 

complete application. As myCDFIFund 

is the Fund’s primary means of 

communication with Applicants and 

Awardees, organizations must make 

sure that they update the contact 

information in their myCDFIFund 

accounts before the applicable 

application deadline. For more 

information on myCDFIFund, please see 

the ‘‘Frequently Asked Questions’’ link

V. Application Review Information 

A. Format: Funding applications must 

be single-spaced and use a 12-point font 

with 1-inch margins. Each section in the 

Application that is scored has page 

limitations. Applicants are encouraged 

to read each section carefully and to 

remain within the page limitations for 

each section. The Fund will not 

consider responses beyond the specified 

page limitation in each section. Also, 

the Fund will read only information 

requested in the Application and will 

not read attachments that have not been 

specifically requested in this NOFA or 

the Application, such as the Applicant’s 

five-year strategic or marketing plans. 

B. Criteria: The Fund will evaluate 

each application on a 100-point scale 

using numeric scores with respect to the 

five sections required in the 

Application. The Fund will score each 

section as follows: 

TABLE 3—APPLICATION SCORING

CRITERIA

Application sections Scoring 

points 

Market Analysis ........................ 25 

Business Strategy ..................... 25 

Community Development Performance & Effective Use ..... 20 

Management ............................. 20 

Financial Health & Viability ....... 10 

C. Review and Selection Process: 

1. Eligibility and Completeness 

Review: The Fund will review each 

application to determine whether it is 

complete and the Applicant meets the 

eligibility requirements set forth above. 

An incomplete application does not 

meet eligibility requirements and will 

be rejected. Any application that does 

not meet eligibility requirements will 

not be returned to the Applicant. 

2. Substantive Review: If an 

application is determined to be 

complete and the Applicant is 

determined to be eligible, the Fund will 

conduct the substantive review of the 

application in accordance with the 

criteria and procedures described in the 

Regulations, this NOFA, and the 

application and guidance. As part of the 

review process, the Fund may contact 

the Applicant by telephone, e-mail, 

mail, or through an on-site visit for the 

sole purpose of obtaining clarifying or 

confirming application information 

(such as statements of work, matching 

funds documentation, EINs, or DUNS 

numbers, for example). After submitting 

its application, the Applicant will not 

be permitted to revise or modify its 

application in any way nor attempt to 

negotiate the terms of an award. If 

contacted for clarifying or confirming 

information, the Applicant must 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
19288 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 

respond within the time parameters set 

by the Fund. 

3. Application Scoring; Ranking: 

(a) Application Scoring: The Fund 

will evaluate each application on a 100- 

point scale, comprising the five criteria 

categories described above, and assign 

numeric scores. An Applicant must 

receive a minimum score in each 

evaluation criteria in order to be 

considered for an award. 

(b) Evaluating Prior Award 

Performance: In the case of an 

Applicant that has previously received 

funding from the Fund through any 

Fund program, the Fund will consider 

and will deduct points for: (i) The 

Applicant’s noncompliance with any 

active award or award that terminated 

in Calendar Year 2009 in meeting its 

performance goals and measures, 

reporting deadlines, and other 

requirements set forth in the assistance 

or award agreement(s) with the Fund 

during the Applicant’s two complete 

fiscal years prior to the application 

deadline of this NOFA; (ii) the 

Applicant’s failure to make timely loan 

payments to the Fund during the 

Applicant’s two complete fiscal years 

prior to the application deadline of this 

NOFA (if applicable); (iii) performance 

on any prior Assistance Agreement as 

part of the overall assessment of the 

Applicant’s ability to carry out its 

Comprehensive Business Plan; and (iv) 

funds deobligated from a FY 2006, FY 

2007, or FY 2008 FA award (if the 

Applicant is applying for a FA award 

under this NOFA) if (A) the amount of 

deobligated funds is at least $200,000 

and (B) the deobligation occurred 

subsequent to the expiration of the 

period of award funds availability 

(generally, any funds deobligated after 

the September 30th following the year 

in which the award was made). Any 

award deobligations that result in a 

point deduction under an application 

submitted pursuant to either funding 

round of this NOFA will not be counted 

against any future application for FA 

through the NACA Program. 

Furthermore, in the case of an Applicant 

that has previously received funding 

through any Fund program, the Fund 

will consider and may, in its discretion, 

deduct points for those Applicants that 

have in any proceeding instituted 

against the Applicant in, by, or before 

any court, governmental, or 

administrative body or agency received 

a final determination within the last 

three (3) years indicating that the 

Applicant has discriminated on the 

basis of race, color, national origin, 

disability, age, marital status, receipt of 

income from public assistance, religion, 

or sex. 

(c) Ranking: The Fund then will rank 

the applications by their scores, from 

highest to lowest. 

4. Award Selection: The Fund will 

make its final award selections based on 

the rank order of Applicants by their 

scores and the amount of funds 

available. In addition, the Fund shall 

consider the institutional and 

geographic diversity of Applicants when 

making its funding decisions. 

5. Insured Native CDFIs: In the case of 

Insured Depository Institutions and 

Insured Credit Unions, the Fund will 

take into consideration the views of the 

Appropriate Federal Banking Agencies; 

in the case of State-Insured Credit 

Unions, the Fund may consult with the 

appropriate State banking agencies (or 

comparable entity). The Fund will not 

approve a FA award to any Insured 

Credit Union (other than a State-Insured 

Credit Union) or Insured Depository 

Institution Applicant for which its 

Appropriate Federal Banking Agency 

indicates it has safety and soundness 

concerns, unless the Appropriate 

Federal Banking Agency asserts, in 

writing, that (i) improvement in status is 

imminent and such improvement is 

expected to occur not later than 

September 30, 2009 or within such 

other time frame deemed acceptable by 

the Fund, or (ii) the safety and 

soundness condition of the Applicant is 

adequate to undertake the activities for 

which the Applicant has requested a FA 

award and the obligations of an 

Assistance Agreement related to such a 

FA award. 

6. Award Notification: Each Applicant 

will be informed of the Fund’s award 

decision either through a Notice of 

Award if selected for an award (see 

Notice of Award section, below) or 

written declination if not selected for an 

award. Each Applicant that is not 

selected for an award based on reasons 

other than completeness or eligibility 

issues will be provided a written 

debriefing on the strengths and 

weaknesses of its application. This 

feedback will be provided in a format 

and within a timeframe to be 

determined by the Fund, based on 

available resources. The Fund will 

notify Awardees by e-mail using the 

addresses maintained in the Awardee’s 

myCDFIFund account (postal mailings 

will be used only in rare cases). 

7. The Fund reserves the right to 

reject an application if information 

(including administrative errors) comes 

to the attention of the Fund that either 

adversely affects an applicant’s 

eligibility for an award, or adversely 

affects the Fund’s evaluation or scoring 

of an application, or indicates fraud or 

mismanagement on the part of an 

Applicant. If the Fund determines that 

any portion of the application is 

incorrect in any material respect, the 

Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to reject the application. The 

Fund reserves the right to change its 

eligibility and evaluation criteria and 

procedures, if the Fund deems it 

appropriate; if said changes materially 

affect the Fund’s award decisions, the 

Fund will provide information 

regarding the changes through the 

Fund’s Web site. There is no right to 

appeal the Fund’s award decisions. The 

Fund’s award decisions are final. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

A. Notice of Award: The Fund will 

signify its conditional selection of an 

Applicant as an Awardee by delivering 

a signed Notice of Award to the 

Applicant through its myCDFIFund 

account. The Notice of Award will 

contain the general terms and 

conditions underlying the Fund’s 

provision of assistance including, but 

not limited to, the requirement that the 

Awardee and the Fund enter into an 

Assistance Agreement. The Applicant 

must execute the Notice of Award and 

return it to the Fund. By executing a 

Notice of Award, the Awardee agrees, 

among other things, that, if prior to 

entering into an Assistance Agreement 

with the Fund, information (including 

administrative error) comes to the 

attention of the Fund that either 

adversely affects the Awardee’s 

eligibility for an award, adversely affects 

the Fund’s evaluation of the Awardee’s 

application, or indicates fraud or 

mismanagement on the part of the 

Awardee, the Fund may, in its 

discretion and without advance notice 

to the Awardee, terminate the Notice of 

Award or take such other actions as it 

deems appropriate. Moreover, by 

executing a Notice of Award, the 

Awardee agrees that, if prior to entering 

into an Assistance Agreement with the 

Fund, the Fund determines that the 

Awardee or an Affiliate of the Awardee, 

is in default of any Assistance 

Agreement previously entered into with 

the Fund, the Fund may, in its 

discretion and without advance notice 

to the Awardee, either terminate the 

Notice of Award or take such other 

actions as it deems appropriate. The 

Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to rescind its award if the 

Awardee fails to return the Notice of 

Award, signed by the authorized 

representative of the Awardee, along 

with any other requested 

documentation, within the deadline set 

by the Fund. For purposes of this 

section, the Fund will consider an 

Affiliate to mean any entity that meets 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 19289 

the definition of Affiliate in the 

Regulations or any entity otherwise 

identified as an Affiliate by the 

Applicant in its funding Application 

under this NOFA. 

1. Failure to meet reporting 

requirements: If, after considering an 

application, an Awardee, or an Affiliate 

of the Awardee is a prior Fund Awardee 

or allocatee under any Fund program 

and is not current on the reporting 

requirements set forth in the previously 

executed assistance, allocation, or 

award agreement(s), as of the date of the 

Notice of Award, the Fund reserves the 

right, in its sole discretion, to delay 

entering into an Assistance Agreement 

until said prior Awardee or allocatee is 

current on the reporting requirements in 

any previously executed assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s). 

Please note that the Fund only 

acknowledges the receipt of reports that 

are complete. As such, incomplete 

reports or reports that are deficient of 

required elements will not be 

recognized as having been received. If 

said prior Awardee or allocatee is 

unable to meet this requirement within 

the timeframe set by the Fund, the Fund 

reserves the right, in its sole discretion, 

to terminate and rescind the Notice of 

Award and the award made under this 

NOFA. 

2. Pending resolution of 

noncompliance: If an Applicant is a 

prior Awardee or allocatee under any 

Fund program and if: (i) It has 

submitted complete and timely reports 

to the Fund that demonstrate 

noncompliance with a previous 

assistance, award, or allocation 

agreement; and (ii) the Fund has yet to 

make a final determination as to 

whether the entity is in default of its 

previous assistance, award, or allocation 

agreement, the Fund reserves the right, 

in its sole discretion, to delay entering 

into an Assistance Agreement, pending 

full resolution, in the sole determination 

of the Fund, of the noncompliance. 

Further, if an Affiliate of the Awardee 

is a prior Fund Awardee or allocatee 

and if such entity: (i) Has submitted 

complete and timely reports to the Fund 

that demonstrate noncompliance with a 

previous assistance, award, or allocation 

agreement; and (ii) the Fund has yet to 

make a final determination as to 

whether the entity is in default of its 

previous assistance, award, or allocation 

agreement, the Fund reserves the right, 

in its sole discretion, to delay entering 

into an Assistance Agreement, pending 

full resolution, in the sole determination 

of the Fund, of the noncompliance. If 

the prior Awardee or allocatee in 

question is unable to satisfactorily 

resolve the issues of noncompliance, in 

the sole determination of the Fund, the 

Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to terminate and rescind the 

Notice of Award and the award made 

under this NOFA. 

3. Default status: If, after considering 

an application and prior to entering into 

an Assistance Agreement through this 

NOFA, the Fund has made a final 

determination that an Awardee that is a 

prior Fund Awardee or allocatee under 

any Fund program is in default of a 

previously executed assistance, 

allocation, or award agreement(s), the 

Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to delay entering into an 

Assistance Agreement, until said prior 

Awardee or allocatee has submitted a 

complete and timely report 

demonstrating full compliance with said 

agreement within a timeframe set by the 

Fund. Further, if at any time prior to 

entering into an Assistance Agreement 

through this NOFA, the Fund has made 

a final determination that an Affiliate of 

the Awardee is a prior Fund Awardee or 

allocatee under any Fund program and 

is in default of a previously executed 

assistance, allocation, or award 

agreement(s), the Fund reserves the 

right, in its sole discretion, to delay 

entering into an Assistance Agreement, 

until said prior Awardee or allocatee 

has submitted a complete and timely 

report demonstrating full compliance 

with said agreement within a timeframe 

set by the Fund. If said prior Awardee 

or allocatee is unable to meet this 

requirement and the Fund has not 

specified in writing that the prior 

Awardee or allocatee is otherwise 

eligible to receive an Award under this 

NOFA, the Fund reserves the right, in 

its sole discretion, to terminate and 

rescind the Notice of Award and the 

award made under this NOFA. 

4. Termination in default: If (i) within 

the 12-month period prior to entering 

into an Assistance Agreement through 

this NOFA, the Fund has made a final 

determination that an Awardee is a 

prior Fund Awardee or allocatee under 

any Fund program whose award or 

allocation was terminated in default of 

such prior agreement; and (ii) the final 

reporting period end date for the 

applicable terminated agreement falls 

within the 12-month period prior to the 

application deadline of this NOFA, the 

Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to delay entering into an 

Assistance Agreement. Further, if (i) 

within the 12-month period prior to 

entering into an Assistance Agreement 

through this NOFA, the Fund has made 

a final determination that an Affiliate of 

the Awardee is a prior Fund Awardee or 

allocatee under any Fund program 

whose award or allocation was 

terminated in default of such prior 

agreement; and (ii) the final reporting 

period end date for the applicable 

terminated agreement falls within the 

12-month period prior to the application 

deadline of this NOFA, the Fund 

reserves the right, in its sole discretion, 

to delay entering into an Assistance 

Agreement. 

5. Deobligated awards: An Awardee 

that receives a FA award pursuant to 

this NOFA for which an amount over 

$200,000 is deobligated by the Fund 

subsequent to the expiration of the 

period of award funds availability 

(generally, any funds deobligated after 

the September 30th following the year 

in which the award was made) but 

within the 12 months prior to the 

application deadline may not apply for 

a new award through the NOFA for 

another CDFI Fund program funding 

round after the date of said deobligation. 

6. Compliance with Federal AntiDiscrimination Laws: If the Awardee has 

previously received funding through 

any Fund program, and if at any time 

prior to entering into an Assistance 

Agreement through this NOFA, the 

Fund is made aware of a final 

determination, made within the last 

three (3) years, in any proceeding 

instituted against the Awardee in, by, or 

before any court, governmental, or 

administrative body or agency, 

declaring that the Awardee has 

discriminated on the basis of race, color, 

national origin, disability, age, marital 

status, receipt of income from public 

assistance, religion, or sex, the Fund 

reserves the right, in its sole discretion, 

to terminate and rescind the Notice of 

Award and the award made under this 

NOFA. 

B. Assistance Agreement: Each 

Applicant that is selected to receive an 

award under this NOFA must enter into 

an Assistance Agreement with the Fund 

in order to receive disbursement of 

award proceeds. The Assistance 

Agreement will set forth certain 

required terms and conditions of the 

award, which will include, but not be 

limited to: (i) The amount of the award; 

(ii) the type of award; (iii) the approved 

uses of the award; (iv) the approved 

eligible market to which the funded 

activity must be targeted; (v) 

performance goals and measures; and 

(vi) reporting requirements for all 

Awardees. FA-only Assistance 

Agreements under this NOFA generally 

will have three-year performance 

periods. 

The Fund reserves the right, in its sole 

discretion, to terminate the Notice of 

Award and rescind an award if the 

Awardee fails to return the Assistance 

Agreement, signed by the authorized 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
19290 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 28, 2009 / Notices 

representative of the Awardee, and/or 

provide the Fund with any other 

requested documentation, within the 

deadlines set by the Fund. 

Each FA Awardee must provide the 

Fund with a certificate of good standing 

(or equivalent documentation) from its 

state (or jurisdiction) of incorporation. 

C. Reporting: 

1. Reporting requirements: The Fund 

will collect information, on at least an 

annual basis, from each Awardee 

including, but not limited to, an Annual 

Report that comprises the following 

components: (i) Financial Reports 

(including an OMB A–133 audit, as 

applicable; however, Financial Reports 

are not required of Sponsoring Entities); 

(ii) Institution Level Report; (iii) 

Transaction Level Report (for Awardees 

receiving FA awards); (iv) Uses of 

Financial Assistance (for Awardees 

receiving FA awards); (v) Explanation of 

Noncompliance (as applicable); and (vi) 

such other information as the Fund may 

require. Each Awardee is responsible for 

the timely and complete submission of 

the Annual Report, even if all or a 

portion of the documents actually is 

completed by another entity or signatory 

to the Assistance Agreement. If such 

other entities or signatories are required 

to provide Institution Level Reports, 

Transaction Level Reports, Financial 

Reports, or other documentation that the 

Fund may require, the Awardee is 

responsible for ensuring that the 

information is submitted timely and 

complete. The Fund reserves the right to 

contact such additional entities or 

signatories to the Assistance Agreement 

and require that additional information 

and documentation be provided. The 

Fund will use such information to 

monitor each Awardee’s compliance 

with the requirements set forth in the 

Assistance Agreement and to assess the 

impact of the NACA Program. The 

Institution Level Report and the 

Transaction Level Report must be 

submitted through the Fund’s Webbased data collection system, the 

Community Investment Impact System 

(CIIS). The Financial Report may be 

submitted through CIIS. All other 

components of the Annual Report may 

be submitted electronically, as directed, 

by the Fund. The Fund reserves the 

right, in its sole discretion, to modify 

these reporting requirements if it 

determines it to be appropriate and 

necessary; however, such reporting 

requirements will be modified only after 

notice to Awardees. 

2. Accounting: The Fund will require 

each Awardee that receives a FA award 

through this NOFA to account for and 

track the use of said FA award. This 

means that for every dollar of a FA 

award received from the Fund, the 

Awardee will be required to inform the 

Fund of its uses. This will require 

Awardees to establish separate 

administrative and accounting controls, 

subject to the applicable OMB Circulars. 

The Fund will provide guidance to 

Awardees outlining the format and 

content of the information to be 

provided on an annual basis, outlining 

and describing how the funds were 

used. Each Awardee that receives an 

award must provide the Fund with the 

required complete and accurate 

Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) form 

for its bank account prior to award 

closing and disbursement.
