in the offices of the Fund by 6 p.m. EST on the respective application 
due dates.
    The Fund is extending the application deadlines for the CDFI 
Program Core and Intermediary Components because of unforeseeable 
delays in the printing of application forms and packets. The Fund has 
determined that potential applicants need more time between attending 
the various outreach workshops, receiving official versions of the CDFI 
Program application materials, and the due dates for those materials. 
So that potential applicants have sufficient time to complete their 
CDFI Program applications, the Fund is extending the application 
deadlines to ensure a minimum of eight weeks application preparation 
time from the date of availability of the application forms and 
packets.

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

    Dated: November 30, 1998.
Maurice A. Jones,
Deputy Director for Policy and Programs, Community Development 
Financial Institutions Fund.
