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.
