Abstract: The purpose of the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Bond Guarantee Program (BG Program) is to support CDFI lending by providing Guarantees for Bonds issued by Qualified Issuers as part of a Bond Issue for Eligible Community or Economic Development Purposes.

Emergency Justfication: The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) submits to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency clearance and review, the Applications, in accordance with 5 C.F.R. 1320.13. An expedited clearance by OMB of the aforementioned application materials is essential to the mission of the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program (BG Program), the CDFI Fund and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The CDFI Fund cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. The CDFI Fund requests that OMB complete its emergency review no later than May 15, 2013.
