Change of allocation application deadline.
On July 15, 2005, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (the “Fund”) announced in a NOAA for the New Markets Tax Credit Program (70 FR 41075) that the deadline for electronic allocation applications is 5 p.m. ET on September 21, 2005. The NOAA also announced that paper allocation applications must be postmarked on or before September 21, 2005 and received by the Fund at the address cited in the NOAA by 5 p.m. ET on September 30, 2005. Due to the recent occurrence of certain natural disasters, the Fund will consider extending these deadlines, on a case-by-case basis, for applicants that have been directly affected by said disasters. In general, to be eligible for an application deadline extension, an applicant must demonstrate that it cannot submit its application by September 21, 2005 because:
1. Its principal place of business is located in a county for which the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has: a) issued a “major disaster declaration” since July 15, 2005; and b) made a determination that such county is eligible for both “individual and public assistance”; or
2. There exist mitigating factors directly attributable to the disaster-related conditions in a county for which FEMA has: a) issued a “major disaster declaration” since July 15, 2005; and b) made a determination that such county is eligible for both “individual and public assistance.”
If you would like to request an application deadline extension, you must send your request via e-mail to
In your request, you must explain why the application deadline extension is necessary, citing the specific circumstances preventing your organization from completing and/or submitting the application materials by the deadlines set forth in the NOAA. You must address, at a minimum, whether: your offices were closed and/or were without electricity for significant periods of time; staff members were not available to work on the application materials during critical periods; and/or other application partners (
Please also note that the Fund is not at this time accepting any requests to extend deadlines pertaining to the issuance of qualified equity investments by prior allocatees planning to apply for allocations in the CY 2006 round of the NMTC Program (
All other information and requirements set forth in the July 15, 2005 NOAA shall remain effective, as published.
The Fund will provide programmatic and information technology support related to the allocation application between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET through September 19, 2005. The Fund will not respond to phone calls or e-mails concerning the application that are received after 5 p.m. ET on September 19, 2005 until after the allocation application deadline of September 21, 2005.
