Needs and Uses: In order to effectively administer and monitor its
economic development assistance programs, EDA collects certain
information from applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment
assistance. The collection of this information is required to ensure
the recipient is complying with EDA's CEDS requirements. A CEDS is
required for an eligible applicant to qualify for an EDA investment
assistance under its Public Works, Economic Adjustment, and certain
planning programs, and is a prerequisite for a region's designation by
EDA as an Economic Development District (see 13 CFR 303, 305.2, and
307.2 of EDA's regulations).
A CEDS emerges from a continuing planning process developed and
driven by a public sector planning organization by engaging a broad-
based and diverse set of stakeholders to address the economic problems
and potential of a region. The CEDS should include information about
how and to what extent stakeholder input and support was solicited.
Information on how the planning organization collaborated with its
diverse set of stakeholders (including the public sector, private
interests, non-profits, educational institutions, and community
organizations) in the development of the CEDS should be included. In
accordance with the regulations governing the CEDS (see 13 CFR 303.7),
a CEDS must contain a summary background, a SWOT Analysis, Strategic
Direction/Action Plan, and an Evaluation Framework. In addition, the
CEDS must incorporate the concept of economic resilience (i.e., the
ability to avoid, withstand, and recover from economic shifts, natural
disasters, etc.). EDA is not proposing any changes to the current
information collection request.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, local or
Tribal government; Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: At least every 5 years, as explained above.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395-5806.
