SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 104(d) of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-325), which created the CDFI Fund, established the Advisory Board. The charter for the Advisory Board has been filed in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), and with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.

The function of the Advisory Board is to advise the Director of the CDFI Fund (who has been delegated the authority to administer the CDFI Fund) on the policies regarding the activities of the CDFI Fund. The Advisory Board does not advise the CDFI Fund on approving or declining any particular application for monetary or non-monetary awards.

In accordance with section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2 and the regulations thereunder, Bill Luecht, Designated Federal Officer of the Advisory Board, has ordered publication of this notice that the Advisory Board will convene an open meeting, which will be held in the Cash Room at the U.S. Department of the Treasury located at 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20220, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, September 23, 2019. The room will accommodate up to 50 members of the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
