Notice of Funds Availability Inviting Applications for the 
Community Development Financial Institutions Program--Technical 
Assistance Component (Incorporating Native American Technical 
Assistance)

AGENCY: Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, Department 
of the Treasury.

ACTION: Change of Application Deadline; Change in Eligibility Criteria.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 4, 2003, the Community Development Financial 
Institutions Fund (the ``Fund'') announced in a NOFA for the Technical 
Assistance Component (incorporating Native American Technical 
Assistance) of the CDFI Program (68 FR 5735) that the deadline for 
applications for assistance through the Technical Assistance Component 
is 5 p.m. ET on May 31, 2004. This notice extends that application 
deadline to 5 p.m. ET on June 1, 2004, since May 31 is a federal 
holiday. Under the same NOFA, the Fund announced that it will not 
consider an application submitted by an applicant that is a previous 
Fund awardee under any Fund program or component of the CDFI Program if 
the applicant has failed to meet its reporting requirements. The Fund 
recently obtained clarification from the Office of Management and 
Budget that results in an extension of the deadline by which an awardee 
must provide us with its audited financial statement. As a result of 
this clarification, this notice revises the current NOFA to state that 
the Fund will not consider the late submission of audited financial 
statements an eligibility criterion for the Technical Assistance 
Component FY 2003 and FY 2004 funding rounds.
    Please note that for those prior awardee applicants, lateness in 
submitting a FY 2003 Annual Financial Report will not make your 
organization ineligible to apply for funding under this NOFA. However, 
the Fund will continue to consider applicants ineligible for funding if 
any other current year reports are overdue as of the funding 
application deadline. All other information and requirements set forth 
in the February 4, 2003 NOFA for the Technical Assistance Component 
shall remain effective, as published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have any questions about the 
programmatic requirements for the Technical Assistance Component, 
contact the Fund's CDFI Program Manager. If you have programmatic 
questions about the Native American Technical Assistance Component
