Abstract: The CDFI Fund provides financial assistance in the form of grants, loans, equity investments and deposits to community development financial institutions providing capital and financial services to underserved markets.

Emergency Justfication: The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) requests Emergency Processing for a revision to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1559-0021 in order to clear the current Healthy Food Financing Initiative-Financial Assistance (HFFI-FA) Application. The CDFI Fund receives an annual appropriation from Congress to fund HFFI-FA awards was appropriated $22 million under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-6). The revision of this OMB number to include the current HFFI-FA Application will allow the CDFI Fund to provide HFFI-FA awards under the FY 2019 Community Development Financial Institutions Program (CDFI Program) and Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA Program) funding rounds which are expected to open May 6, 2019. If normal clearance procedures were followed, CDFI Fund would be unable to collect the necessary HFFI-FA applications and disburse the funds that Congress has appropriated for this program during the 2019 funding round. Treasury requests approval of this reinstatement by May 6, 2019 and has submitted a notice to the Federal Register soliciting public comments during the period of OMB review. The CDFI Fund receives regular input from the financial institutions it serves and has taken all practical steps to minimize the burden of collecting HFFI-FA applications. This includes administering HFFI-FA awards in conjunction with the annual CDFI Program and NACA Program application process to eliminate potential duplication.

Short Statement: This revised Information Collection Request (ICR) is being submitted to clear the 2019 HFFI application questions. These seven questions are completed by respondents as part of the larger Financial Assistance application and the burden for them is already accounted for in the existing approved burden under this control number. As such there is no change in burden due to these questions. However, there was an error in the entry of data into ROCIS for the previous ICR submission which is being corrected here. The currently approved total burden of 65,000 hours is being reduced to 45,000 hours, matching what was estimated in the previous supporting statement.
