    Needs and Uses: To effectively administer and monitor its economic 
development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from 
applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. A 
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (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 13 CFR 
303.7(b), a CEDS must contain a summary background, a SWOT (Strengths, 
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) 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.). A CEDS is required for an eligible applicant to qualify for an 
EDA investment assistance under EDA's Public Works program, Economic 
Adjustment Assistance program, and certain planning programs, and is a 
prerequisite for a region's designation by EDA as an Economic 
Development District (see 13 CFR part 303, 13 CFR 305.2, and 13 CFR 
307.2). EDA collects information under this information collection to 
ensure compliance with EDA's CEDS requirements.
    Affected Public: (1) Cities or other political subdivisions of a 
State, including a special purpose unit of state or local government 
engaged in economic or infrastructure development activities; (2) 
States; (3) institutions of higher education; (4) public or private 
non-profit organizations or associations; (5) District Organizations; 
and (6) Indian Tribes.
    Frequency: Planning Organizations must submit a new or revised CEDS 
to EDA at least every five years, unless EDA or the Planning 
Organization determines that a new or revised CEDS is required earlier 
due to changed circumstances.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
