    Needs and Uses: To effectively administer and monitor its economic 
development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from 
applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. First, 
this collection of information allows EDA to determine whether an 
incidental use of property acquired or improved with EDA investment 
assistance is appropriate. Pursuant to 13 CFR part 314.3(g), an 
incidental use of property: (1) Does not interfere with the scope of 
the project or the economic purpose for which the investment was made; 
(2) provided that the recipient is in compliance with applicable law 
and the terms and conditions of the investment assistance, and (3) the 
incidental use of the property will not violate the terms and 
conditions of the investment assistance or otherwise adversely affect 
the economic useful life of the property. A recipient must request in 
writing EDA's approval to undertake an incidental use of property 
acquired or improved with EDA's investment assistance pursuant to.
    Second, this collection of information allows EDA to determine 
whether to release its real property or tangible personal property 
interests. If a recipient wishes for EDA to release its real property 
or tangible personal property interests before the expiration of the 
property's estimated useful life, the recipient must submit a written 
request to EDA. Pursuant to 13 CFR 314.10(c), the recipient must 
disclose to EDA the intended future use of the property for which the 
release is requested.
    Affected Public: Current recipients of EDA 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; (2) States; (3) institutions of 
higher education; (4) public or private non-profit organizations or 
associations; (5) District Organizations; and (6) Indian Tribes.
    Frequency: When requested by a financial assistance award 
recipient.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: The Public Works and Economic Development Act of 
1965 (42 U.S.C. 3121 et. seq).
