Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the 

Treasury, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, invites the general public and 

other public agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. 

Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

Currently, the Community 

Development Financial Institutions 

(CDFI) Fund, Department of the 

Treasury, is soliciting comments 

concerning the Evaluation of the New 

Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program. 

This notice announces the CDFI Fund’s 

intent to request approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for new information collection 

activities associated with an 

independent, multi-year evaluation of 

the NMTC Program. It includes a onetime information collection effort 

involving participants and stakeholders 

in the program, which is intended to 

describe and assess program activities as 

well as identify project-specific and 

community level outputs and outcomes. 

The data collection will provide critical 

information for the evaluation. 

Clearance is requested for the following 

new data collection activities: (1) Casestyle data collection related to 

approximately 80 randomly sampled 

NMTC projects that will consist of semistructured telephone interviews with 

persons associated with those projects— 

i.e., approximately 80 representatives of 

Community Development Entities 

(CDEs), 80 representatives of Qualified 

Active Low Income Businesses 

(QALICBs), 80 investors, and 80 other 

key project stakeholders; (2) a webbased, predominantly closed-ended 

survey of representatives of 

approximately 380 QALICBs; and (3) a 

web-based, predominantly closed-ended 

survey of approximately 380 local 

community/economic development 

officials. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before April 5, 2010 to 

be assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Evaluation of the New Markets 

Tax Credit (NMTC) Program. 

OMB Number: Not yet assigned. 

Type of Request: New collection of 

information. 

Abstract: The NMTC Program was 

established by the Community Renewal 

Tax Relief Act of 2000 to encourage 

private capital investment in lowincome communities that are, or are 

perceived to be, high investment risks. 

It permits individual and corporate 

taxpayers to receive a credit against 

federal income taxes for making 

qualified equity investments in 

designated Community Development 

Entities (CDEs). Substantially all of the 

qualified equity investment must in turn 

be used by CDEs to provide investments 

in Qualified Active Low-Income 

Community Businesses (QALICBs), 

which include both operating 

businesses and real estate 

developments. The federal tax credits 

are allocated competitively by the CDFI 

Fund to CDEs. CDEs, in turn, select the 

projects in which to invest. 

There is considerable flexibility and, 

consequently, variability with respect to 

the types of projects that can be 

supported by NMTC-stimulated 

investments. They can include for-profit 

and non-profit businesses involving a 

range of commercial, industrial, retail, 

manufacturing, mixed-uses, and 

facilities such as for childcare, health or 

charter schools. 

The evaluation involves multiple 

research methods to produce valid 

evidence for describing and assessing 

program activities and outcomes. The 

focus is on the program’s primary 

objective of attracting capital to lowincome, economically distressed 

communities so as to further their 

economic and community development. 

The evaluation is intended to inform an 

array of important policy questions, 

including: How and in what manner the 

program is affecting the flow of new 

private capital to low-income 

communities; where, in what timeframe, 

and how that capital is invested to 

achieve community and economic
