New Markets Tax Credit Program
Allocation Tracking System Data Points
Pursuant to a Federal Register Notice (77 Federal Register 35754, June 14, 2012 ), the CDFI Fund has solicited public comments regarding the information collection requirements (contained in the NMTC Allocation Agreement) related to an Allocatee’s receipt of a Qualified Equity Investment (QEI). Allocatees will provide this information using an electronic data collection and submission system, which the CDFI Fund has developed, known as the Allocation Tracking System (ATS). Below is a summary of the system’s key functionalities as well as a list of the data points Allocatees will be required to submit through the ATS. New data points and functionality are indicated by bold font. Enhancements to ATS have been developed to address certain Government Accountability Office recommendations highlighted in their January 2007 and January 2010 evaluations of the NMTC Program, as well as, comments gathered from a previous notice and request for public comments on ATS published in the Federal Register Federal Register Notice (75 Federal Register 9275, March 1, 2010).
The total hour burden of this information collection is estimated at 18 hours per respondent annually (estimate of one and one-half hour data entry session per month per respondent) for the 85 allocatees in CY2012 allocation round. The total hour burden of this information collection is estimated at 12 hours per respondent annually (estimate of one hour data entry session per month per respondent) for the 658 allocatees in all other allocation round. In sum, the CDFI Fund expects responses from the 743 entities for a total of 9,426 annual burden hours for the data collection. For recent allocatees starting with the CY2012 allocation round, the total hour burden per respondent is expected to increase as the full QEI structure will be reported, as well as, the reporting of future changes to QEI investors and claimants. The number of respondents is also expected to increase as new allocation rounds are added.
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice to appear in ATS.
Please note that the CDFI Fund has provided the Allocation Tracking System (ATS) to allocatees of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program as a tool to assist allocatees with the administration of their NMTC allocations. However, an allocatee’s entry of data into the ATS will not ensure that an Allocatee is in compliance with the terms of its Allocation Agreement with the CDFI Fund or any other applicable requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, the Temporary and Proposed Income Tax Regulations for the NMTC Program or any other federal program, statute, or regulation. In addition, the CDFI Fund does not provide any warranty, expressed or implied, guarantee of any kind, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any data contained in the ATS.
Allocatees are not required to respond to this collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The estimated average burden associated with this collection of information is 18 hours per year per allocation. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for reducing this burden should be directed to the Program Manager for Certification, Compliance Monitoring and Evaluation, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, U.S. Department of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20220
