SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 20, 1998, the Fund published a NOFA 
for the CDFI Program TA component (63 FR 13729) and a separate NOFA for 
the CDFI Program core component (63 FR 13728). The CDFI Program TA 
component NOFA announced the availability of $5 million for program

All applications

must be received in the offices of the Fund by 6 p.m. EDT on the 
respective application due dates.
    The Fund is extending the application deadline for the CDFI Program 
TA component for the following reason. The Community Development 
Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 (12 U.S.C. 4701 et seq.) 
mandates that the Fund conduct a pre-application outreach program to 
identify and provide information to potential applicants. The Fund 
conducted pre-application outreach sessions in 12 cities (Atlanta, 
Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, 
New York, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Washington, DC) in the form of 
informational workshops about both the CDFI Program TA component and 
core component. The workshops took place between April 27, 1998 and May 
11, 1998. Interested parties familiar with potential applicants to the 
CDFI Program TA component have advised the Fund that potential 
applicants need more time between attending the workshops and 
completing a CDFI Program TA component application. To ensure that 
potential applicants attending the workshop sessions have sufficient 
time to complete their CDFI Program TA component applications, the Fund 
is extending the application deadline to ensure a minimum of four weeks 
application preparation time from the date of the last workshop 
session.

    Authority: 12 U.S.C. 4703, 4703 note, 4704, 4706, 4707, 4718; 12 
CFR part 1805.

    Dated: May 12, 1998.

Director, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.
