Editor's note: This is the second in a three-part series by the Novogradac Journal of Tax Credits looking at how community development entities measure impact. This second installment focuses on investments relating to environmental issues; the final part in December will focus on health issues. Climate change considerations and racial/ethnic equity will be woven into each article. New markets tax credits can be used to reduce the impacts of climate change, especially for low-income communities, and increase opportunities for communities of color.

Section 1.42-19T that contemplate procedural, administrative and reporting requirements created as context to the implementation of the final regulations.
