CDFI Fund Seeks Public Comment on
Capacity Building Initiative Data Collection The U.S. Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), within the Department of the Treasury, is soliciting comments concerning data collection to support the Capacity Building Initiative. The request for comment was published today in the Federal Register. Pursuant to the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 (the Act), as amended (12 USC 4701 et seq.), the CDFI Fund provides training and technical assistance to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and similar entities in order to enhance their ability to make loans and investments and provide services for the benefit of designated investment areas and targeted populations. The information collected will be used to identify specific topics for training and technical assistance and develop course content which will be tailored to the needs and capacity levels of recipients. The requested information is necessary to support effective use of Federal resources. Comments are specifically invited upon: - Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the CDFI Fund, including whether the information shall have practical utility;
- The accuracy of the CDFI Fund's estimate of the burden of the collection of information;
- Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
- Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of technology; and
- Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
All comments on the Capacity Building Initiative data collection must be submitted by August 25, 2014 in writing and sent to Adam Martinez, CDFI Program Manager, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, U.S. Department of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20220; or by e-mail to cdfihelp@cdfi.treas.gov.
