DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Economic Development Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Requirements for Approved Construction Investments
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on September 3, 2021, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Economic Development Administration (EDA), Commerce.
Title: Requirements for Approved Construction Investments.
OMB Control Number: 0610-0096.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Revision and extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 3,500.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours.
Burden Hours: Hours: 7,000 hours.
Needs and Uses: To effectively administer and monitor its economic
development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from
applicants for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. EDA may
award assistance for construction projects through its Public Works and
Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) programs. Public Works program
investments help support the construction or rehabilitation of
essential public infrastructure and facilities necessary to generate or
retain private sector jobs and investments, attract private sector
capital, and promote vibrant economic ecosystems, regional
competitiveness, and innovation. The EAA program provides a wide range
of technical, planning, and infrastructure assistance in regions
experiencing adverse economic changes that may occur suddenly or over
time.
EDA proposes to revise and extend the checklists and templates that
constitute EDA's post-approval tool for construction projects. None of
the edits are expected to increase the time burden on the respondent
nor do the modifications change the type of information collected.
Affected Public: Recipients of EDA construction (Public Works or
EAA) awards, including (1) cities or other political subdivisions of a
State, including a special purpose unit of State or local government
engaged in economic or infrastructure development activities, or a
consortium of political subdivisions; (2) States; (3) institutions of
higher education or a consortium of institutions of higher education;
(4) public or private non-profit organizations or associations; (5)
District Organizations; and (6) Indian Tribes or a consortia of Indian
Tribes.
Frequency: As needed during the period of performance of financial
assistance awards for construction projects.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Public Works and Economic Development Act of
1965 (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.).
