The annual report provides qualitative and quantitative information on the Awardee's compliance with its performance goals, its financial health and the timeline in which the CDFI Fund's financial and technical assistance was used. The data collection will be used to collect compliance and performance data from certified CDFIs and CDEs and from NACD awardees.
Changes in version CIIS 8.0 will reduce the time burden of electronic submissions: First, regulated depository CDFIs that must submit TLR reports will no longer have to report on consumer loans at the transactional level and instead will be able to report those loans at the portfolio level through the ILR. This change is expected to reduce the total number of transactions reported through CIIS by at least two-thirds. Second, the NMTC Allocatees will no longer need to report individual disbursement addresses. A reduction of 9,457 hours is attributed to program change.
Though the number of reporting transactions has been reduced, an evaluation of the program respondents and burden has been reviewed to provide a more accurate reporting of the burden. An increase in the number of respondents, as well as the hours per response have increased after an evaluation respondents reporting time and consideration of public comments received on the burden calculations. As a result, an increase of 28,544 is attributed to an adjustment.
Previous reported separated for-profit business and not-for-profit institution reporting. This submission combines both into one information collection (IC). The total burden associated with this collection of information is 510 responses and 33,273 total burden hours.
