FY 2013 Allocatee Transaction Level Report: Data Point Guidance

FY 2013 Allocatee Transaction Level Report: Data Point Guidance
This document provides guidance for the Allocatee’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Transaction Level
Report (TLR) data points.
The FY 2013 version of CIIS is CIIS 11.0

Which Loans and Investments to Include in the TLR
The reporting period for the FY 2013 TLR is the Allocatee's fiscal year ending in 2013. The TLR
should include any loans, investments, and advance purchase commitments made by the
Allocatee and any Sub-Allocatee(s) that were:
 Funded by Qualified Equity Investments (QEIs) and
 Outstanding at any time during the reporting period.
Include:
 Transactions that were submitted in the previous reporting period with a Transaction Status
= “Active”;
 Loans to and Investments in other CDEs;
 Loans to and investments in Qualified Active Low-Income Community Businesses
(QALICBs); and
 Advance Purchase Commitments (categorized and reported as “QALICBs” in the TLR).
If the Allocatee is providing a loan to or an investment in another CDE, report the details of both
the loan to or investment in the CDE as well as the details of the resulting funding to a
QALICB(s). In other words, for each investment in a CDE, the Allocatee must report a minimum
of two transactions: (1) The investment in the CDE and (2) the resulting loan or investment in
the QALICB(s). The two transactions may occur during different reporting periods.
Exclude (the following are reported in the Institution Level Report (ILR)):
 Loan purchases (except advance purchase commitments);
 Financial Counseling and Other Services (FCOS); and
 Transfers of Allocation to Sub-Allocatee(s).
All data must be reported as of the reporting period end date unless otherwise noted.
Some of the TLR data points are not static from reporting period-to-reporting period
(Disbursements, Principal Balance Outstanding, etc.). The appropriate response may change
from day-to-day in the CDE’s system. Please respond “as of” the reporting period end date.
For example, for each loan, report the principal balance outstanding and number of days
delinquent on the last day of the reporting period.

QuickStart Instructions
The new “QuickStart” Instructions include basic information about CIIS 11.0 in an Excel
spreadsheet. The QuickStart contains summary information that users can sort by topic.
Definitions for the columns can be found on the second worksheet. The QuickStart identifies the
following for all CIIS 11.0 data points:
 New data points;
 Project v. Financial Note data points (see below);
 Mandatory data points;

www.cdfifund.gov/what_we_do/ciis.asp.

TLR “Project” Guidance
Many Allocatees are financing single Projects with more than one Financial Note (e.g., loan, line
of credit, or equity investment). Allocatees will now be able to report which Financial Notes
belong to a single Project. The Fund requires that each Financial Note that finances a single
project have the same:
 Borrower (indicated by Client ID);
 Investee Address;
 Project Address or set of Project Addresses; and
 Total Project Cost.
Financial Note vs. Project-Level Data Points
In CIIS 11.0, each data point is designated as either Financial Note-level data or Project-level
data. This designation is noted in the following guidance.
Entering FINANCIAL NOTE Data
As in past years, users will be required to enter/upload every Financial Note and the pertinent
Financial Note-level data in CIIS. Financial Notes are identified by the unique “Originator
Transaction ID.”
Entering PROJECT Data
Users will enter/upload a “Project Number” for each Project. CIIS will require the user to
associate one or more “Originator Transaction IDs” with each “Project Number.” The Projectlevel data will only need to be entered one time in CIIS for each Project, regardless of the
number of associated Financial Notes. (Some organizations may have only one Financial Note
for each Project.) The "TLR System Instructions" (www.cdfifund.gov/what_we_do/ciis.asp)
provide more technical information regarding entering/uploading data.

Multi-CDE Projects
Many CDEs are financing Projects in conjunction with other CDEs. Organizations will now be
able to report which Projects were financed by multiple CDEs. Organizations can create a
Multi-CDE Project Number by selecting the Multi-CDE Project link under the TLR menu of the
CIIS Homepage. After selecting the link, follow the steps and CIIS will generate the Multi-CDE
Project Number. The Multi-CDE Project Number can be entered in column B of the CDE TLR
Projects tab.

Compliance Data Points
Compliance data points may be used to measure the Allocatee’s compliance with their
Allocation Agreement. Any field that may be used for compliance purposes for any Allocatee is
identified as a Compliance data point. Allocatees must refer to their specific Allocation
Agreement(s) to determine if the data point is relevant to their CDE’s compliance.

1).
 The Online entry system displays a
next to Compliance fields.
Reject If
CIIS will generate and error message if a response is provided when a “Reject If” condition
applies. “Reject If” is intended to eliminate responses that do not make sense: for example,
providing an interest rate for an equity investment. When a “Reject If” condition applies, the
user should leave the response blank.
 Example 2: If the Financial Note is an Equity Investment, CIIS will not accept an Interest
Rate entry.

Validations
In order to certify and submit the TLR, the data must pass a number of validation rules.
Validation rules are provided in the data boxes.
Annual Update Required
CIIS requires users to update certain data points each year if they have changed since the
previous reporting period. These data points are noted with “Annual Update Required” in a
yellow box.
 Example 2: Users are expected to update the Interest Rate annually if the rate has
changed from the end of the previous reporting period.
Excel Data Format

legally enforceable written agreement between the originator and the CDE which -- (A) Requires
the CDE to approve the making of the loan either directly or by imposing specific written loan
underwriting criteria; and (B) Requires the CDE to purchase the loan within 30 days after the

Addresses
Address Guidance
Users must report one Investee Address and one or more Project Addresses. Users may provide the
same address for the Investee Address and Project Address, if appropriate. Users will be prompted to
enter a FIPS code or X, Y Coordinates for addresses that are not geocodable in CIIS.





Investee Address/FIPS Code refers to the investee’s/borrower’s address. Investee Address is the
business address when the borrower is a business.
Project Address/FIPS Code refers to the location of the business or other real estate for which the
loan or investment is being used. For business investees/borrowers, if the Project Address is
different from the Investee Address please provide the Project address. If the loan or investment is
funding multiple projects at different locations please provide the address of each location.
FIPS Code refers to the 11-digit Federal Information Processing Standards codes that indicate state
(first 2 digits), county (next 3 digits), and census tract (last 6 digits). FIPS codes must be provided if
CIIS is unable to geocode an address. For additional information about FIPS codes, visit
www.census.gov/geo/www/fips/fips.html.
X, Y Coordinates specify an exact geographic location using longitude and latitude. The Xcoordinate refers to longitude. The Y-coordinate refers to latitude. For the United States and most of
its territories, longitude (i.e. X-coordinate) is negative and latitude (i.e. Y-coordinate) is positive. XY
Coordinates should not be rounded. CIIS requires that both the coordinates be reported to five (5)
decimal points.
Example of X- and Y-coordinates:
X-coordinate: -103.85272  Longitude
Y-coordinate: 44.67451  Latitude
Longitude and latitude can be found using a variety of tools, such as using a Global Positioning
System (GPS), an address locator, or a map-based tool. The Fund offers the following suggestions:

CDE Project Address Guidance
Business Loans/Investments with More than One Project Address
 If the investee/borrower qualifies as a QALICB, the user should provide only one Project
Address that represents the borrower’s address.
 If the borrower/investee does not qualify as a QALICB, but elects to satisfy the QALICB
requirements utilizing the “Portions of Business” rule under the IRS regulations, the user
should provide a Project Address for each business location financed by the loan(s) or
investment(s). Please refer to the IRS regulations for guidance on qualifying businesses as
QALICBs under the “Portions of Business” rule.
Real Estate Loans/Investments with More than One Project Address
 If the project site or sites include multiple buildings or addresses that are contained within a
single census tract, the user should provide one Project Address for the development.

CIIS 11.0

40 of 64

FY 2013 Allocatee Transaction Level Report: Data Point Guidance


If the project site or sites are not completely contained within a single census tract, the user
should provide one Project Address for each census tract financed by the loan(s) or
investment(s).

During the TLR address verification process, CIIS will attempt to geocode each address (identify the
location on a digital map). CIIS will notify the user of each transaction address that the system was not
able to geocode, if any.
 CIIS cannot geocode post office box (PO Box) or rural route (RR) street addresses.
 CIIS cannot geocode rural or “new” addresses that are not available in the geocoding database.
The Fund recommends that organizations confirm that all addresses are geocodable in CIMS (the
Fund’s CDFI Information and Mapping System) prior to reporting in CIIS.
This extra step will save the organization time and effort in the reporting process. CIMS is available
through the “Mapping” link in your organization’s myCDFIFund account. For more information about
CIMS, please visit www.cdfi.treas.gov/mapping.

If you receive an address verification error in CIIS:
1. Correct errors in the Address – CIIS will allow the User to “Update” the transaction and provide a
corrected address.
 Check the address for typos. Make sure that the spellings are correct and remove any uncommon
abbreviations.
 Please make sure that you have entered the correct address. If necessary, review the
loan/investment documentation or contact the borrower.
2. Enter a FIPS Code or X, Y Coordinates






If you are unable to provide a geocodable address, CIIS will require Users to enter a FIPS Code or
X, Y coordinates.
Manual Entry / Excel / XML Entry
o Users must provide an address, validate, and receive a geocoding error before CIIS will provide a
field for FIPS code or X, Y coordinates. NOTE: A FIPS Code or X, Y coordinates can only be
provided by updating your transaction(s) ONLINE.
There is no FIPS or X, Y coordinates field in the Excel Template or XML schema.
Users must provide both an address and a FIPS code or X, Y coordinates for un-geocodable
addresses using the manual entry.

The 11-Digit FIPS
CIIS collects an 11-digit FIPS:
 State: The first two digits of the FIPS represent the state.
- A list of state codes is available at: www.census.gov/geo/www/cenpop/statecenters.txt
 County: The next three digits of the FIPS represent the county.
- A list of county codes available at: www.census.gov/geo/www/cenpop/county/ctyctrpg.html
 Tract: The last six digits of the FIPS represent the census tract.
- The directions below provide one option for identifying the census tract using the U.S. Census
Bureau’s website.
- If only four digits are provided for the census tract code, add two zeros after the tract number.
- If only three digits are provided for the census tract code, add one zero before the tract number
and two zeros after.
- If only two digits are provided for the census tract code, add two zeros before the tract number
and two zeros after.

QALICB Type
QALICB Type describes the investee/borrower. QALICB Type is used to determine an
Allocatee’s compliance with the type of lending/investing described in the Allocation Agreement.
QALICB Type does not describe the purpose of the loan(s)/investment(s). Nor does it refer to
the type of collateral securing a loan. (See “Purpose” and “Collateral Type” data points.)
Note: If the CDE would like to avail itself of the IRS’s provisions for New Market Tax Credit NonReal Estate Investments (TD 9600), it must first have designated the QEI as a non-real estate
QEI in the CDFI Fund’s Allocation Tracking System (ATS). Then, the QALICB Type must be
entered as “Non-Real Estate QALICB” and the Purpose must be either “Business” or
“Microenterprise.” Allocatees are responsible for ensuring compliance with the specific
requirements of TD 9600 in order to avail themselves of those provisions.
Real Estate QALICB – The investee/borrower’s predominant business activity (i.e. activity that
generates more than 50 percent of the business’ gross income) involves the development
(including construction of new facilities and rehabilitation/enhancement of existing facilities),
management, or leasing of real estate.
Non-Real Estate QALICB - The investee/borrower does not satisfy the definition of Real Estate
QALICB. As such, the investee/borrower’s predominant business activity (i.e. activity that
generates more than 50 percent of the business’ gross income) DOES NOT involve
development (including construction of new facilities and rehabilitation/enhancement of existing
facilities), management, or leasing of real estate.
Special Purpose Entity QALICB – The investee/borrower QALICB is a special purpose entity
that is controlled by or under common control with a Non-Real Estate QALICB, and that was set
up specifically to lease the property back to the Non-Real Estate QALICB such that the NonReal Estate QALICB is the principal user of the property. For Allocations from the CY 2011
round or earlier, an investee/borrower that is a Special Purpose Entity QALICB may be
considered either a Real Estate or a Non-Real Estate QALICB for the purposes of measuring
compliance with the Allocation Agreement. For Allocations from the CY 2012 round or later, an
investee/borrower that is a Special Purpose Entity QALICB is considered a Real Estate QALICB
for the purposes of measuring compliance with the allocation agreement.



Borrower/investee does not satisfy the
definition of Real Estate QALICB.

For the purposes of completing the Business Strategy section and all relevant exhibits, financing
provided to real estate Qualified Active Low Income Community Business (QALICB) refers to
entities whose predominant business activity is the development (including construction of new
facilities and rehabilitation/enhancement of existing facilities), management or leasing of real
estate.
Transactions with QALICBs whose predominant business activity includes all other types of
business activities should be classified as non-real estate businesses regardless of: 1) how the
business intends to use the proceeds of the transaction; or 2) whether the business intends to
use any real estate owned as collateral for a loan.
For example, if an Applicant provided a loan to a childcare provider for the purpose of purchasing
the property where the childcare center would be housed, the Applicant would categorize this
loan as a non-real estate transaction. However, if the Applicant provided a loan to a real estate
development company whose predominant business is the development of community facilities,
for the purpose building a childcare center, this loan would be considered financing a real estate
transaction.
Notwithstanding the above, loans or investments made to a special purpose entity that is
Controlled by or under common Control with an operating company, and that was set up
specifically to lease the property back to the operating company such that the operating company
is the principal user of the property, may be classified as either a “real estate QALICB” or a “nonreal estate QALICB”, at the discretion of the CDE. An operating company is considered the
principal user of the QALICB’s property if it is the occupant of a majority (i.e., greater than 50%)
of the rentable square footage of the QALICB’s property. The QALICB may lease the balance of
its property to one or more third parties.

Additional Guidance on reporting Multi-CDE Project Numbers
Overview: Many CDEs are financing Projects in conjunction with other CDEs, allocatees and suballocatees. Organizations will now be able to report which Projects were financed by multiple allocates
and sub-allocatees. Organizations can create a Multi-CDE Project Number by selecting the Multi-CDE
Project link under the TLR menu of the CIIS Homepage. After selecting the link, follow the steps and CIIS
will generate the Multi-CDE Project Number. The Multi-CDE Project Number can be entered in column B
of the CDE TLR Projects tab.

 A response to the Multi-CDE project number requirement is mandatory for any CDE projects.
 CIIS allows organizations to create Multi-CDE Project Numbers at any time regardless of where
an organizations is in the reporting process (in progress or submitted). Organizations can access
the Multi-CDE Project Number creation page any time to establish a new Multi-CDE Project
Number. If you have any questions please call the CIIS Help Desk at either of the following: (703)
373-1516 or [email protected].
 CIIS TLR Reporting System Enhancements will become operational by EOB March 25th, 2013.
 Two responses are provided in the drop menu: “Multi-CDE Project Number” and “Not
Applicable.”
 When applicable after 12/31/2011 a Multi-CDE Project should be reported for the new project
when the initial investment is closed.
 Projects that are funded by a single CDE should provide a response of “Not Applicable” in the
“Multi-CDE Project Number” field of the TLR.
 Generally, a project originated prior to 1/1/2012 should NOT be reported as a Multi-CDE project
even though it may have been a Multi-CDE project. The only instances in which a project
originated prior to 1/1/2012 should be reported as a Multi-CDE Project is when project’s costs
cannot be disaggregated between reporting phases and some of the participating CDEs’
Qualified Equity Investments would be comingled between project phases.
 Treatment of Multi-CDE Projects involving distinct phases: In instances where a Multi-CDE
project occurs at an address or location where a NMTC financed project was previously funded,
the succeeding phase may be construed as a new and distinct project if and only if the total
project costs can be disaggregated between reporting phases and none of the participating
CDEs’ Qualified Equity Investments would be comingled between project phases. Moreover, if
there are different QALICBs in these separate phases it should be straightforward to separate
costs and impacts between phases.

FY 2013 Allocatee Transaction Level Report: Data Point Guidance

 To address instances of Multi-CDE projects prior to 1/1/2012 the CDFI Fund will publish the TLR
historical data which will include a provisional list of Multi-CDE projects. This list will provide a
first iteration for identifying Multi-CDE project. At a later date the CDFI Fund will issue guidance
on providing edits to this list to develop a consensus list; this approach to identifying Multi-CDE
projects in the historical data entails less complexity than attempting to link the historical
records through the TLR reporting system.
1. The following instructions are provided on the use of “Lead” and “Collaborative” CDE approaches for
administering and reporting a multi-CDE project:
Lead Approach – Please select this option if a CDE (or allocatee or sub-allocatee—which
hereafter will be referred to as the organization) has been designated by all participating
organizations as the initiating organization to create, enter and edit the applicable MultiCDE Project information. The Lead CDE coordinates the multi-CDE project data to report
the total project costs (making sure that it includes all sources of financing for all
participating organizations as detailed in reporting fields PRJ:C-F), the project address,
and the total number organizations participating and their respective TINs (see TLR
enhancement 1 below).








Please note that the multi-CDE table which assigns the Multi-CDE project
number is a separate reporting table used to link multiple transactions across
participating organizations. The multi-CDE table is not meant to collect the data
on the individual transactions of participating organizations which must still be
reported separately in the TLR by each organization. In addition the Lead CDE
should ensure that all participating organization uses the same business
description, 6-digit NAICS code for the project.
The “initiating” or “registering” organization WILL be automatically listed as a
participant in the ‘Multi-CDE Project Table’.
Under the Lead CDE approach all participating organizations should report the
same impact data based upon the total impact of the project, for each relevant
outcome measure in TLR fields PRJ:Z –PRJ:BC, including projected and actual job
measures, square footage, annual gross revenue generated by QALICB, etc.
(The source(s) and method(s) of computing jobs should be agreed upon).
Differing fiscal year end (FYE) for participating organizations: It is recognized
that not all participating organizations will have the same FYE to estimate
outcome data for the Multi-CDE project; however slight differences in outcome
reporting will average out over the life of the project. Please use the most
recent available outcome data even if the end-of-fiscal-year dates vary among
organizations.
The rationale for using the same outcome numbers for TLR reporting is that
every organization will report the aggregate impact and the CDFI Fund can then
count the impacts once for each identified multi-CDE without risk of double
counting.

Collaborative Approach – Please select this option if all participating organizations should
be able to edit the Multi-CDE Project information.



08/01/2013

Under the Collaborative approach, the organizations agree to report in the
Multi-CDE project table the total project costs (making sure that it includes all
sources of financing for all participating organizations as detailed in reporting
fields PRJ:C-F), the project address, and the total number participating
organizations and their respective TINs (see TLR enhancement 1 below).

Please note that the multi-CDE table which assigns the Multi-CDE project
number is a separate reporting table used to link multiple transactions across
participating organizations.
The “initiating” or “registering” organization WILL be automatically listed as a
participant in the ‘Multi-CDE Project Table’.
All participating organizations should report their individual outcome data
based on their organization’s detailed data collection on their specific
contribution to the project.
If the participating organizations do not collect discrete breakouts of outcome
data for each organization’s contribution to the project outcomes, then the
organizations should use a pro-rata share of relevant outcomes as measured
by each organization’s share of all QEIs in the project. It is recognized that
prorating outcomes based on the share of total QEIs does not account for the
non-New Markets financing portion of the project; however the collection of
the detailed breakout of total project cost components will allow the CDFI Fund
to make this calculation in analyzing project leverage and the attribution of
outcomes.
Outcomes that should be prorated include all job measures (PRJ: AB-PRJ: AI);
and square footage, housing units, community facilities and capacity measures
(PRJ: AL-PRJ: BC). The source and method of computing jobs should be agreed
upon.
As in the lead approach the multi-CDE table is not meant to collect the data on
the individual transactions of participating organizations which must still be
reported separately in the TLR by each organization. In addition all participating
organizations must use the same business description, 6-digit NAICS code for
the project.
The rationale for this approach was that some organizations desire to report
discrete outcomes related to their individual investments. Moreover under the
collaborative approach the reporting effort is distributed across all organizations
identified in the multi-CDE project.
A key performance measurement objective for collaborative CDE reporting is
that the sum of individually reported outcomes should equal the estimated
total outcome of the project so that there is no double counting of outcomes.

CIIS TLR Reporting System Enhancements:
th
The system enhancements listed below will become operational by EOB March 25 , 2013.

1. A Drop down will be added to the Multi-CDE creation page that requires users to enter the
number of organizations participating in the Multi-CDE Project.
o

An entry for the “Number of Participating Organizations” will require that value match
the number of organization entries identified when initiating the Multi-CDE Project
Number. If the number does not match the actual number of entries of participating
allocatees and sub-allocatees entered in the drop-down box, the system will not
generate a Multi-CDE project number.

2. The system will send an email to all participating organizations when updates are made
regarding the setup of the multi-CDE project.

3. The system will CC the Help Desk on all emails.
4. The system will continue to use the TIN as the identifier when adding all participating
organizations that have a QEI in the project. For reasons of confidentiality CIIS cannot provide a
list of TINs for allocatee or sub-allocatee.
5. If an organization has already submitted a TLR and needs to change an answer based on these
new instructions, they will have to request that the Help Desk set the TLR to ‘Open’ and then
they will be able to make a change in Multi-CDE Project Number.
