ECIP Applicants Affected by Hurricane Ida

The deadline to submit an application for investment through the Emergency Capital Investment
Program (ECIP) is Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at 11:59 PM ET.

Prospective ECIP applicants may request a seven-day extension of the application deadline if they are
unable to submit a timely application due directly to the impacts of Hurricane Ida. To request an
application deadline extension, an applicant must:

•   Submit a request to Treasury in writing (such as by e-mail) that explains why it cannot submit its
    application by the September 1, 2021, deadline, such as whether (1) the applicant’s offices were
    closed or without electricity for a significant period; (2) staff members were not able to work on the
    application during critical periods; or (3) application partners (e.g., consultants, community partners)
    were not able to provide materials critical to the compilation of the application; and

•   State that the applicant’s headquarters or principal place of business are in, or the applicant has
    been materially affected by disaster-related conditions in, a parish or county that the Federal
    Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has designated as affected by a “major disaster” declared
    since August 29, 2021. 1

If the circumstances that led to the extension request continue after seven days, prospective applicants
may request an extension of an additional seven days by submitting a request, consistent with the
requirements above, regarding the continued impact of the disaster on the applicant. All initial requests
for extensions must be submitted by Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

If you would like to request an application deadline extension, you must send your request via e-mail to
ecip@treasury.gov with the subject line “Deadline Extension Request.” If you are unable to file your
request by e-mail, you may contact the ECIP Program by telephone at (202) 819-3127.
