Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collections of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: Economic Development
Administration (EDA), Department of
Commerce.
Title: Semi-Annual and Annual Data
Collection Instruments for EDA Grant
and Cooperative Agreement Award
Recipients.
OMB Control Number: 0610–0098.
Form Number(s): ED–915, ED–916,
ED–917, and ED–918.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved information collections
(Forms ED–916, ED–917, and ED–918)
and extension without revision of a
currently approved information
collection (Form ED–915).
Number of Respondents: 2,150
(revised Forms ED–916, ED–917, and
ED–918: 550 semiannual respondents
and 550 annual respondents; extended
Form ED–915: 500 respondents).
Average Hours per Response: 2.5 to 8
hours (revised Forms ED–916, ED–917,
and ED–918: 2.5 hours semiannually
and 6 hours annually; extended Form
ED–915: 8 hours).
Burden Hours: 10,050 hours (revised
Forms ED–916, ED–917, and ED–918:
2,750 hours semiannually and 3,300
hours annually; extended Form ED–915:
4,000 hours).
Needs and Uses: EDA must comply
with the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62) and
the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–352), which require
Federal agencies to develop
performance measures and report to
Congress and stakeholders the results of
the agency’s performance. EDA’s diverse
portfolio of programs, the changing
economy, and advances in the field of
program evaluation make updates to

EDA’s methods for performance
measurement and program evaluation
necessary in order to ensure
transparency, accountability, and
effectiveness of EDA investments. The
recently passed Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–435) further
emphasizes the importance of updating
existing methodologies for performance
measurement and program evaluation to
align with evolving best practices.
EDA proposes revising Forms ED–
916, ED–917, and ED–918, which are
currently used to collect limited
performance information on sponsored
activities and resulting outcomes from
the grantees receiving assistance under
just three of EDA’s non-infrastructure
programs: Partnership Planning,
University Center, and the Trade and
Adjustment Assistance for Firms,
respectively. The revised Forms ED–
916, ED–917, and ED–918 would
instead comprehensively cover all of
EDA’s non-infrastructure programs:
Economic Adjustment Assistance (noninfrastructure projects), including new
Revolving Loan Funds; Planning,
including Partnership Planning; Local
Technical Assistance, including
University Centers; Build to Scale
(formerly Regional Innovation
Strategies); Research and National
Technical Assistance; and Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Firms. The
data on program-sponsored activities
and associated outcomes will be
collected on semi-annual and annual
bases, respectively.
The revised data collection
instruments were developed through
cooperative agreements with a number
of leading research institutions, most
notably SRI International. The
methodology and applications for the
instruments are described in the
Innovative Metrics for Economic
Development report and Toolkit for
Economic Development Practitioners
that are available on EDA’s website at
www.eda.gov/performance/.
EDA does not propose to revise the
remaining fourth form under this
information collection, Form ED–915,
which is used to collect information on
infrastructure and existing revolving
loan fund (RLF) projects funded through
awards from EDA’s Public works and
Economic Adjustment Assistance
programs. Form ED–915 would instead
be extended without change; however,
EDA plans to revise Form ED–915 in the
future to update the information
collected on infrastructure projects.
Note that all RLF awards made after the
implementation of the revised Forms
ED–916, ED–917, and ED–918 will be
required to report performance

information using those Forms; this
requirement may be extended to all RLF
awards when Form ED–915 is revised.
Affected Public: State and local
governments; Development
Organizations; Indian Tribes;
Institutions of higher education; and
Nonprofit organizations.
Frequency: Semi-annual and Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow

information collection should be sent
