    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).
