SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The mission of EDA is to lead the
federal economic development agenda
by promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. EDA accomplishes
this mission by helping states, regions,
and communities through capacity
building, planning, infrastructure,
research grants, and strategic initiatives.
Further information on EDA’s program
and grant opportunities can be found at
www.eda.gov.
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 purpose of this notice is
to seek comments from the public and
other Federal agencies on a request for
an extension of an information collected
related to a Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS). 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). This information collection
is scheduled to expire on September 30,
2018.

ability to avoid, withstand, and recover
from economic shifts, natural disasters,
etc.). EDA is not proposing any changes

The CEDS are collected via both paper

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, nonprofits, educational institutions, and
community organizations) in the
development of the CEDS should be
