The certification application will be
used to determine whether an entity seeking CDFI certification or
recertification meets the Fund's requirements for such
certification as set forth in 12 CFR 1805.201.
The CDFI Fund has not made any
changes to the certification application. The adjustment in agency
estimate is due to a substantial decrease in the aggregate number
of respondents from 300 to 175. This is due to more accurate
information based on the number of certification applications
received over the course of the last three years. Total burden
hours requested is 6,563.
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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
