DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Community Development Financial Institutions Fund


Notice of Funds Availability Inviting Applications for the Native 
American CDFI Development Program

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 Native 
American CDFI Development Program of the CDFI Program (68 FR 5731) that 
the deadline for applications for assistance through the Native 
American CDFI Development Program 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 Native American CDFI 
Development Program FY 2003 and 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 Native American CDFI Development 
Program shall remain effective, as published.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: If you have any questions about the 
programmatic requirements for this program, contact the Fund's 
Financial and Special Initiatives Manager. If you have questions 
regarding administrative requirements, contact the Fund's Grants 
Management and Compliance Manager. The Financial and Special 
Initiatives Manager and the Grants Management and Compliance Manager 
may be reached by e-mail at [email protected], by telephone at 
(202) 622-6355, by facsimile at (202) 622-7754, or by mail at CDFI 
Fund, 601 13th Street, NW., Suite 200 South, Washington, DC 20005. 
These are not toll free numbers.

    Authority: 12 U.S.C. 4703; Chapter X, Pub. L. 104-19, 109 Stat. 
237.

    Dated: April 5, 2004.

Acting Director, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.
