[[Page 67169]]
in the offices of the Fund by 6 p.m. EST on the respective application
due dates.
The Fund is extending the application deadlines for the CDFI
Program Core and Intermediary Components because of unforeseeable
delays in the printing of application forms and packets. The Fund has
determined that potential applicants need more time between attending
the various outreach workshops, receiving official versions of the CDFI
Program application materials, and the due dates for those materials.
So that potential applicants have sufficient time to complete their
CDFI Program applications, the Fund is extending the application
deadlines to ensure a minimum of eight weeks application preparation
time from the date of availability of the application forms and
packets.
Authority: 12 U.S.C. 4703, 4703 note, 4704, 4706, 4707, 4718; 12
CFR part 1805.
Dated: November 30, 1998.

Deputy Director for Policy and Programs, Community Development
Financial Institutions Fund.
