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

agreement with OMB that New Markets Tax Credit Allocatees provide
quarterly reports.

1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
