SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Community Adjustment and

Investment Program Grant Program

Application.

OMB Number: 1505–0181.

Abstract: The Department of the

Treasury, as Chair of the Finance

Committee, is sponsoring NADBank’s

collection of information in the form of

applications for NADBank grants.

Applications will be competitively

evaluated and selected. The purpose of

the grants is to help create and retain

private-sector jobs in U.S. communities

experiencing job dislocations

attributable to changing trade patterns

with Canada and Mexico due to the

North American Free Trade Agreement.

The subject NADBank grants are

endorsed by the United States

Government (‘‘USG’’), and the funds for

the NADBank grants were transferred to

NADBank by the USG. The collection of

information in the grant application is

threefold. First, it requires each

applicant to submit information to

NADBank that will be used to determine

whether the applicant is an eligible

applicant and whether the applicant’s

proposed project is an eligible project.

Second, it requires each applicant to

submit a project description to

NADBank that will be used to evaluate

the merits of the applicant’s proposed

project. Third, it requires each applicant

to submit certifications to NADBank

which are substantively similar to those

contained in applications for Federal

financial assistance. The purpose for the

collection of information is to

competitively evaluate and select

projects from eligible applicants for

purposes of helping create and preserve

private-sector jobs in U.S. communities

experiencing job dislocation.
