          February 27, 2013

          The Honorable Tim Johnson
          Chairman
          The Honorable Mike Crapo
          Ranking Member
          Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
          United States Senate

          The Honorable Jeb Hensarling
          Chairman
          The Honorable Maxine Waters
          Ranking Member
          Committee on Financial Services
          House of Representatives

          Subject: Department of the Treasury, Community Development Financial Institutions
                  Fund: Guarantees for Bonds Issued for Community or Economic
                  Development Purposes

          Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, Community
          Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI), entitled Guarantees for Bonds
          Issued for Community or Economic Development Purposes (RIN: 1559-AA01). We
          received the rule on February 12, 2013. It was published in the Federal Register as
          an interim rule with request for public comment on February 5, 2013. 78 Fed. Reg.
          8296.

          The interim rule implements the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, established
          through section 1134 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 and administered by
          CDFI, under authority delegated by the Secretary of the Treasury.

          The interim rule has an effective date of April 8, 2013. The Congressional Review
          Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date
          of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is
          later. 5 U.S.C. § 801 (a)(3)(A). The interim rule was published in the Federal
          Register on February 5, 2013, but we did not receive the interim rule until
          February 12, 2013. Therefore, the interim rule does not have the required 60-day
          delay in its effective date.
