The CDFI Fund is requiring American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)awardees to complete, on a quarterly basis, a much shorter version of the CDFI Fund's Institutional level Report (ILR), which awardees currently report through the Community Investment Impact System (CIIS). The QILR will help the CDFI Fund to meet its own ARRA agency reporting requirements per OMB guidance and enable the CDFI Fund to standardize the data that ARRA Awardees will be reporting separately to the CDFI Fund and www.FederalReporting.gov.
The questions within the Quarterly Institutional Level Report (QILR)are a subset of questions in the existing ILR instrument already cleared under OMB 1559-0027 (which is scheduled to expire 7/31/2010). Also, the information gathered from the QILR will help the CDFI Fund meet its own American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)agency reporting requirements as per OMB guidance and enable the CDFI Fund to standardize the data that ARRA Awardees will be reporting separately and assure the quality of information awardees must provide to the ARRA's federal reporting portal.
