Abstract: The CDFI Fund is requiring American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) New Markets Tax Credit Allocatees to complete, on a quarterly basis, a much shorter version of the CDFI Fund's Transactional Level Report (TLR), which Allocatees currently report through the Community Investment Impact System (CIIS). The Quarterly New Markets Report (QNMR) will help the CDFI Fund meet its own ARRA agency reporting requirement per agreement with OMB that New Markets Tax Credit Allocatees provide quarterly reports.

Emergency Justfication: The CDFI Fund is requiring American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) New Markets Tax Credit Allocatees to complete, on a quarterly basis, a much shorter version of the CDFI Fund’s Transactional Level Report (TLR), which Allocatees currently report through the Community Investment Impact System (CIIS). The Quarterly New Markets Report (QNMR) will help the CDFI Fund meet its own ARRA agency reporting requirements per agreement with OMB. While under ARRA, Allocatees are not required to publicly report to FederalReporting.gov, the CDFI Fund will implement the QNMR to meet OMB’s requirement that NMTC Allocatees provide quarterly reports. The QNMR provides qualitative and quantitative information on the Allocatees’ compliance with performance goals as outlined in their Allocation Agreements with the CDFI Fund.
