The questionnaire will be used by CDFI
Program applicants to apply for additional funding under the
Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI). The questions that the
supplemental questionnaire contains, and the information generated
thereby, will enable the Fund to evaluate applicants' activities
and determine the extent of applicants' eligibility for a CDFI
HFFIFA award. The information collected will be used to select
awardees, based on a merit-based selection process. The requested
information is required by the CDFI Program Regulations (12 CFR
Part 1805) and respective Notice of Funds Availability.
US Code:
12 USC 4701 et seq. Name of Law: Community Development Banking
and Financial Institutions
Funding has been appropriated
for this initiative; the CDFI Fund requests to reinstate this
information collection at this time with changes. The HFFI-FA
Supplemental Questionnaire will only be sent to FA applicants
selected for a FA award. This will reduce the burden since only a
subset of the overall FA applicant pool will receive the
Questionnaire.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
