Review; Comment Request; Recompete Pilot Program Implementation Data
Collection Instrument
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 November 14, 2024, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Economic Development Administration, Commerce.
Title: Recompete Pilot Program Implementation Data Collection
Instrument.
[[Page 27836]]
OMB Control Number: New information collection.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 6.
Average Hours per Response: 7.
Burden Hours: 84. This notice includes the correct estimated total
annual burden hours.
Needs and Uses: The purpose of this notice is to seek comments from
the public and other Federal agencies on a request for a new
information collection for six Phase 2 Awardees to help ensure that
Recompete investments are evidence-based, data-driven, and accountable
to participants and the public.
Coalition leads for the six Recompete Awardees will submit
identified program metrics and qualitative information to help assess
specific program objectives. A recurring questionnaire will be sent to
each of the Recompete coalition leads every six months for a total of
five years to gather the relevant data and stories for their awards,
resulting in community impact evaluation, resources, and tools for
place-based economic development decisionmakers. The six Recompete
Awardees will provide information on the following areas related to
Recompete objectives:
(1) Employment among prime-age individuals who interact with
Recompete programming, which may include information on success
stories, employment, and wage outcomes for participants in EDA-funded
activities.
(2) Economic distress in Recompete service areas, which may include
information on success stories, changes in local employment rates,
changes in local income and wage rates, and other place-based metrics.
(3) Effectiveness of workforce development programming, which may
include information on enrollment, completion, placement, retention,
and attrition for individuals participating in EDA-funded activities,
in addition to the examples of outcomes metrics in objective #1.
(4) Effectiveness of entrepreneurship and small business supports,
which may include information on enrollment, completion, business
launch, and business success for entrepreneurs and small/mid-size
enterprises participating in EDA-funded activities, as well as their
impact on local employment.
(5) Local economic development capacity, which may include
assessing relationships with federal, state, and local entities,
current partnerships, and information about sources of capital and
commitments to continue to ensure economic well-being in the Recompete
community.
Recompete Awardees must submit data on a semi-annual basis (i.e.,
every six months) for five years to provide an update on the status of
the coalition's efforts and to help assess the results of receiving
Phase 2 Recompete funding.
Affected Public: Phase 2 Recompete Awardees.
Frequency: Semi-Annually.
Respondent Obligation: Mandatory for Recompete Awardees.
Legal Authority: Stevenson Wydler Technology Innovation Act of
1980, Section 29 (15 U.S.C. 3722b).
