  • The accuracy of the CDFI Fund’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information.
  • Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.
  • Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of technology.
  • Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
