SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 104(d) of the Community Development

    The function of the Advisory Board is to advise the Director of the

the policies regarding the activities of the Fund. The Fund is a wholly 
owned corporation within the Department of the Treasury. The Advisory 
Board shall not advise the Fund on the granting or denial of any 
particular application. The Advisory Board shall meet at least 
annually.
    It has been determined that this document is not a major rule as 
defined in Executive Order 12291 and that regulatory impact analysis 
therefore is not required. In addition, this document does not

Chapter 6).
    The next meeting of the Advisory Board, all of which will be open

submit it to the Fund, at the address of the Fund specified above in 
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, by 4:00 p.m., Friday,
