Through the Native American CDFI
Assistance Program, the CDFI Fund will provide technical assistance
to CDFIs already serving Native American communities as well as
technical assistance to help Native American Communities form new
CDFIs.
The CDFI Fund estimates the
number of respondents based on the number of applicants under the
2010 Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA) program that would be
eligible to apply to the NACA Program, the growth in the number of
Native CDFIs, increased appropriated fuding, and the results of a
vigorous and successful outreach program. Also, the burden per
Native CDFI has increased because they have become more complicated
in the past few years. New products and services, development of
strategic approaches to the target market and implementing
community development tracking systems have been introduced. This
additional knowledge requires more time to compile the information
and describe in the application's narrative. The 5,400 hour
increase is attributed to: 2,600 hours due to the increase of the
number of responses from 40 to 80 (adjustment), and 2,800 hours
due to the additional reporting requirements (program change),
resulting in an increase burden to respondent from 65 hours to 100
hours. Previous approval of 2,600 hours + 5,400 hours requested =
8,000.
