The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial
Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) announced today that it has posted the comments
submitted in response to its Request for Public Comment related to the Community
Investment Impact System (

CIIS
) Data
Collection.

The CDFI Fund requested comments from the
general public to improve its primary data collection system as part of a larger
mandate by Director Donna J. Gambrell to streamline business processes and
improve customer service.  Reflecting
feedback from a wide range of industry stakeholders, the comments will be used
to increase the efficiency of the CDFI Fund’s data collection practices and
minimize the reporting burden on the public.

The CDFI Fund specifically invited comments
and suggestions concerning the Awardee/Allocatee Annual Report, comprised of the
Institution Level Report and the Transaction Level Report, via a Federal
Register Request for Public Comment notice, published on May 7, 2010.  Written comments were to be submitted by July
6, 2010.

The Institution Level Report and the
Transaction Level Report represent reporting requirements for participants in
the CDFI Program, the Native American CDFI Assistance Program, and the New
Markets Tax Credit Program.  The Annual
Report forms and related documents such as the CDFI Program and NACA Program
assistance agreements, and the NMTC Program allocation agreement, may be found
on the CDFI Fund’s website at www.cdfifund.gov.
