Short Statement: The CDFI TA Program has been refined to more closely align the TA Program with the CDFI Certification process. Narrative questions in the TA Application have been refined to reflect this desired alignment. The Base-FA Program has not materially changed, and the application itself is substantially similar to what was approved in 2016, for FY 2017-19. The proposed FY 2020-22 CDFI and NACA Program applications have repurposed a select number of fields to better align data collected with specific policy objectives, including data fields relevant to new programs including Persistent Poverty Counties (PPC) and Opportunity Zones (O-Zones). The application itself is also more streamlined and easier to complete due to enhancements in the online application intake form within the CDFI Fund’s Awards Management Information System (AMIS). It is anticipated that these changes will neither substantively increase nor decrease the total burden hours per application. Total burden hours requested for this submission is 48,450 (43,450 for FA, plus 5,000 hours for TA). The estimate for FY 2020-22 is similar to the previous total application burden hours cleared in FY 2016 for the FY 2017-19 application (45,000 hours), and primarily reflects an additional 50 groups applying for FA funding, based on the actual number of applications received by the CDFI Fund in FY 2019.
