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; (4) 
public or private non-profit organizations or associations; (5) 
District Organizations; (6) Indian Tribes; and (7) (for training, 
research, and technical assistance awards only) individuals and for-
profit businesses.
    Frequency: As needed to amend an investment award.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
