Download as PDF 57048 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 1, 2008 / Notices Farm Bill (Pub. L. 110–246); the 2008 Farm Bill amended Title IX (Section 9011) of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 171, commonly known as the 2002 Farm Bill). BCAP is intended to support the establishment and production of crops for conversion to bio-energy in project areas (locations) and to assist with collection, harvest, storage, and transportation of eligible material for use in a biomass conversion facility. As a new energy program, BCAP presents an opportunity to encourage landowners and operators to produce biomass for commercial energy production in ways that both are economically and environmentally sound. CCC plans to implement BCAP by approving the best-qualifying project proposals from project sponsors and then entering into contracts with individual producers in the approved project locations. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the EIS process provides a means for the public to provide input on implementation alternatives and on environmental concerns. This notice informs the public of CCC’s intention to prepare an EIS for BCAP. Signed in Washington, DC, on September 24, 2008. Glen L. Keppy, Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.

In addition, applicants were required to submit additional application forms to address EDA’s programmatic requirements, depending on the type of funding assistance sought. The new Form ED–900 consolidates all EDA-specific requirements into a single application form. EDA will continue to require additional government-wide federal VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:22 Sep 30, 2008 Jkt 214001 grant assistance forms from the Standard Form 424 family as part of the application package.

This applies to any applicant that already has submitted a Pre-Application for Investment Assistance (Form ED–900P). If EDA invites such an applicant’s project, beginning November 1, 2008, the applicant must complete and submit the new Form ED–900, with guidance from EDA. Any applications received on or after November 1, 2008 using previously issued EDA application forms will be returned to the applicant with appropriate instructions on how to access and complete the new Form ED– 900.

In implementing this mission pursuant to the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.) (PWEDA), EDA advances growth by providing assistance to communities and regions experiencing chronic high unemployment and low per capita income to create an environment that fosters innovation, promotes entrepreneurship, and attracts increased private capital investment. Under PWEDA, EDA provides assistance through five economic development programs that support a wide range of economic development needs: (i) Public Works, which helps support the construction or rehabilitation of PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57049 essential public infrastructure and facilities; (ii) Economic Adjustment Assistance, which provides a wide range of technical, planning, and infrastructure assistance and may include Non-Construction, Revolving Loan Fund, and Design and Engineering projects; (iii) Research and National and Local Technical Assistance, which supports research projects of leading, world class economic development practices and funds information dissemination efforts; (iv) Planning, which helps support planning organizations in the development, implementation, revision or replacement of comprehensive economic development strategies and includes Short-Term and State Planning projects; and (v) the University Center Economic Development Program, which is a partnership between the federal government and academia that helps to make the varied and vast resources of universities available to economic development communities. Previously, an applicant seeking EDA funding was required to complete and submit a maximum of three EDAspecific application forms: (i) A PreApplication for Investment Assistance (Form ED–900P); (ii) an Application for Investment Assistance (Form ED–900A); and (iii) a program-specific supplement to Form ED–900A.

Structure of the New Form ED–900 On October 1, 2008, EDA will introduce Form ED–900, which consolidates into a single application all of EDA’s program-specific requirements contained in the ED–900P, the ED– 900A, and the program-specific components to ED–900A. The new Form ED–900 is divided into lettered sections that correspond to specific EDA program components (e.g., Local or National Technical Assistance; Construction Assistance), which address all of EDA’s statutory and regulatory requirements. Only the first section, Section A, solicits general information regarding a proposed project and must be completed by all applicants for any type of assistance. Section B solicits specific economic data to help EDA assess an applicant’s regional eligibility for Public Works or Economic Adjustment Assistance, and Section C solicits information to help EDA determine the applicant’s maximum allowable investment rate for Planning, Local and National Technical Assistance, University Center, or Research and Evaluation projects.
