SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
EDA provides a broad range of
economic development assistance to
help distressed communities design and
implement effective economic
development strategies. Part of this
assistance includes disseminating
information about best practices and
encouraging collegial learning among
economic development practitioners.
EDA has created the Award for
Excellence in Economic Development to
recognize outstanding economic
development activities of national
importance. In order to make Awards
for Excellence in Economic
Development, EDA must collect two
kinds of information: (a) information
identifying the nominee and contacts
within the organization being
nominated and (b) information
explaining why the nominee should be
given the award. The information will
be used to determine those applicants
best meeting the preannounced
selection criteria. Use of a nomination
form standardizes and limits the
information collected as part of the
nomination process. This makes the
competition fair and eases any burden
on applicants and reviewers alike.
Participation in the competition is
voluntary. The award is strictly
honorary.

ways to enhance the equality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Economic Development
Administration’s mission is to lead the
Federal economic development agenda
by promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. The Economic
Development Administration (EDA)
accomplishes its mission by helping our
partners across the nation (states,
regions, and communities) create wealth
and minimize poverty by promoting a
favorable business environment to
attract private capital investment and
jobs through world-class capacity
building, planning, infrastructure,
research grants, and strategic initiatives.
EDA’s strategic investments in public
infrastructure and local capital markets
provide lasting benefits for
economically disadvantaged areas.
Acting as catalysts to mobilize public
and private investments, EDA’s
investments address problems of high
unemployment, low per capita income,
and other forms of severe economic
distress in local communities. EDA also
provides special economic adjustment
assistance to help communities and
businesses respond to major layoffs,
plant shutdowns, trade impacts, natural
disasters, military facility closures, and
other severe economic dislocations.
EDA must comply with the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 which requires Federal
agencies to develop performance
measures, and report to Congress and
stakeholders the results of the agency’s
performance. EDA must collect specific
data from grant recipients to report on
its performance in meeting its stated
goals and objectives.
