Short Statement: Per the Final Interim Rule that governs the CDFI BG Program, 12 C.F.R 1808.307(b), the BG Program is responsible for the review and outcome analysis on the current and proposed use of Bond Proceeds in underserved communities. The increase in burden associated with this revision to the CDFI BG Program information collections can primarily be attributed to the addition of one collection to enhance the BG Program’s ability to evaluate the use of Bond Proceeds. This additional collection is the Tertiary Loan Monitoring Report. This additional information collection increases the burden by 300 hours and the total estimated annualized costs by $13,932.00. Additionally, the burden has increase by 297 hours due to better estimates on the number of respondents for the various compliance reports. The BP Program also made revisions to the applications to enhance clarity and the ability to more accurately assess applicants. The changes in the Qualified Issuer Application include requests to have applicants submit internal controls and policies and the most recent four years of audited financial statements and management letters. The changes in the Guarantee Application include requests to: submit the application conflict of interest policies; the number and average size of loans pledged as collateral to meet an overcollateralization requirement; the proposed net interest margin between the Bond Loan and the Secondary Loan interest rates; the certification of any Affiliates of a Controlling CDFI entity; explanation of how the Affiliate’s assets would be commingled in a bankruptcy estate; permission from other Federal Credit programs if a credit enhancement will be used from another Federal Credit program; four years of audited financial statements; and management letters for the Eligible CDFI and the third-party credit enhancement entity. The total requested hours increases to 9,873 and the estimated annualized cost for all current and proposed information collections under this OMB Control Number will be $683,859.00.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $15,000
