jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 173 / Friday, September 10, 2021 / Notices early as possible in the Grants.gov portal, given that potential submission issues may impact the ability to submit a complete Application. Applicants must also ensure that their AMIS
account contains the correct EIN and DUNS numbers by the deadline listed in Table 1 of this NOFA.
a Grants.gov Submission Information: Each Applicant will receive an initial email from Grants.gov immediately after submitting the SF
424, confirming that the submission has entered the Grants.gov system. This email will contain a tracking number for the submitted SF424. Within 48 hours, the Applicant will receive a second email which will indicate if the submitted SF424 was either successfully validated or rejected with errors. However, Applicants should not rely on the email notification from Grants.gov to confirm that their SF424
was validated.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the tracking number provided in the first email to closely monitor the status of their SF424 by checking Grants.gov directly. The Application materials submitted in AMIS are not accepted by the CDFI Fund until Grants.gov has validated the SF424. In the Grants.gov Workspace function, please note that the Application package has not been submitted if you have not received a tracking number.
b AMIS Submission Information:
AMIS is a web-based portal where Applicants will directly enter their Application information and add required attachments listed in Table 4.
Each Applicant must register as an organization in AMIS in order to submit the required Application materials through this portal. AMIS will verify that the Applicant provided the minimum information required to submit an Application. Applicants are responsible for the quality and accuracy of the information in the Application and in the attachments included in the Application submitted in AMIS. The CDFI Fund strongly encourages the Applicant to allow sufficient time to confirm the Application content, review the material submitted, and remedy any issues prior to the Application deadline.
Applicants can only submit one Application in AMIS. Upon submission, the Application will be locked and cannot be resubmitted, edited, or modified in any way. The CDFI Fund will not unlock or allow multiple AMIS
Application submissions.
Prior to submission, each Application in AMIS must be signed by an Authorized Representative. An Authorized Representative is an employee or officer that has the

authority to legally bind and make representations on behalf of the Applicant; consultants working on behalf of the Applicant cannot be designated as Authorized Representatives. The Applicant may include consultants as Application points of contact, who will be included on any communication regarding the Application and will be able to submit the Application but cannot digitally sign the Application.
The Authorized Representative and/or Application points of contact must be included as Contacts in the Applicants AMIS account. The Authorized Representative must also be a user in AMIS. An Applicant that fails to properly register and update its AMIS account may miss important communications from the CDFI Fund or fail to submit an Application successfully. Only an Authorized Representative for the organization or an Application point of contact can submit the Application in AMIS. After submitting its Application, the Applicant will not be permitted to revise or modify its Application in any way.
3. Multiple Application Submissions:
Each Applicant is only permitted to submit one complete Application in AMIS. However, the CDFI Fund does not administer Grants.gov, which does allow for multiple submissions of the SF424. If an Applicant submits multiple SF424 Applications in Grants.gov, the CDFI Fund will only review the SF424 Application submitted in Grants.gov that is attached to the AMIS Application.
4. Late Submission: The CDFI Fund will not accept an Application if a valid SF424 is not submitted by Grants.gov by the SF424 deadline. Additionally, the CDFI Fund will not accept an Application if it is not signed by an Authorized Representative and submitted in AMIS by the Application deadline. In either case, the CDFI Fund will not review any material submitted and the Application will be deemed ineligible, except where the submission delay was a direct result of a Federal government administrative or technological error. This exception includes any errors associated with Grants.gov, SAM.gov, AMIS, or any other applicable government system.
Please note that this exception does not apply to errors arising from obtaining a DUNS number from Dun & Bradstreet, which is not a government entity. An Applicant unable to make timely submission of its Application due to any errors in the process of obtaining a DUNS number will not be allowed to

submission and include documentation of the error no later than two business days after the SF424 deadline. The CDFI Fund will not respond to requests for acceptance of late SF424
submissions after that time period.

submission requests to the CDFI Fund via an AMIS service request to the CMF
Program with a subject line of CMF

b Application Late Submission: In cases where a Federal government administrative or technological error directly resulted in a late submission of the Application in AMIS, the Applicant must submit a Service Request in AMIS
