Construction Projects, as well as any special conditions incorporated 
into the terms and conditions at the time of award, supplement the 
requirements that apply to EDA-funded construction projects. The 
information collected is used to monitor recipients' compliance with 
EDA's statutory and regulatory requirements and specific terms and 
conditions relating to individual awards. EDA also uses the information 
requested to analyze and evaluate program performance.
