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.
Elimination of geocoding
conflicts between the CDFI Information Mapping System 3 (CIMS3
which is forthcoming in November 2013) and the CIIS transactions
validation should significantly reduce error reports and delays in
uploading TLR reports for both CDFIs and CDEs. Improvement in data
validations and instructions should also reduce error reports and
thereby reduce burden. The net effect of these planned changes is
being evaluated. Revised estimates will be posted at a later date.
At this time the total burden associated with this collection of
information is 655 responses and 46,959 total burden hours.
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).
