    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Description: Title I, subtitle C, section 121 of the Community 
Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the Act), as enacted in the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub. L. 106-554, December 21, 
2000), amended the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by adding IRC 45D and 
created the NMTC Program. The Department of the Treasury, through the 
CDFI Fund, administers the NMTC Program, which provides an incentive to 
investors in the form of tax credits over seven years, expected to 
stimulate the provision of private investment capital that, in turn, 
will facilitate economic and community development in low-income 
communities. In order to qualify for an allocation of tax credits 
through the NMTC Program, an entity must be certified as a qualified 
CDE and submit an allocation application to the CDFI Fund. Nonprofit 
entities and for-profit entities may be certified as CDEs by the CDFI 
Fund. In order to be certified as a CDE, an entity must be a domestic 
corporation or partnership, that: (1) has a primary mission of serving 
or providing investment capital for low-income communities or low-
income persons; and (2) maintains accountability to residents of low-
income communities through their representation on any governing or 
advisory board of the entity.
    Form: NMTC CDE Certification Application.
