    All other deadlines shall remain in accordance with the NOFA 
published on June 24, 2022.
    Additionally, the CDFI Fund is issuing a technical correction to 
one of the eligibility requirements outlined in Table 3 of the NOFA 
published on June 24, 2022. The NOFA requires that each ``Applicant has 
audited financial statements encompassing its two most recent historic 
fiscal years prior to the publication date of this NOFA.'' The CDFI 
Fund adds the following clarification to this requirement:
    If, for any reason, the audit for the Applicant's most recent 
historic fiscal year is not complete as of the due date of the AMIS 
Application, the Applicant must have audited financial statements for 
its two historic fiscal years prior to the most recent historic fiscal 
year. A Regulated Institution that files call reports to its regulator 
is exempt from the requirement to have audits.
    To correspond with this correction, Table 4 in the NOFA, outlining 
required Application documents and attachments, is edited to reflect 
which attachments are required. For loan funds, venture funds, and 
other non-regulated institutions, if the audit for the Applicant's most 
recent historic fiscal year is not complete as of the due date of the 
AMIS Application, the Applicant should attach audited financial 
statements encompassing its

[[Page 43110]]

two historic fiscal years prior to the most recent historic fiscal 
year.
    Capitalized terms used but not defined in the NOFA are defined in 
the Regulations, the Application, the Application Materials, or the 
Uniform Requirements. All other information and requirements set forth 
in the NOFA published on June 24, 2022, shall remain effective, as 
published.
