What data and information are important to that determination? a. If implementation awards were limited to the statutory minimum of $20 million, what types of initial investments would most significantly increase employment rates? 3. What scale and types of economic development interventions would be most likely to advance the economy of a locality or region with a high primeage employment gap? For example, should the program emphasize industry sectors or be sector agnostic? a. Are there limitations due to what’s currently allowable with EDA funding? b. Given that each eligible community will bring its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, how should EDA evaluate whether any such investments, interventions, and/or policies would be most effective in an eligible community? c. What features of existing block grant programs should EDA adopt or avoid to increase the likelihood of alleviating persistent economic distress and increasing employment? What about these features makes them effective or ineffective? 4. What economic development assets are most predictive of long-term success from a Recompete intervention? 5. What economic development assets does a local labor market and/or community need to have to take advantage of the Recompete Pilot Program? 6. What are best practices for building local public capacity that would prepare local labor markets and/or communities for Recompete implementation and other future funding? 7. What are the most significant distinctions in the interventions needed in smaller versus larger geographic areas, or local communities versus local labor markets as defined by the statute? 8. Please provide research and evidence of interventions that work in highly distressed labor markets and/or communities to create good jobs and/or connect un- or underemployed residents to good jobs. Specific Request for Information: Recompete Pilot Program Design 9. Are there measures in addition to prime-age employment gap (for local labor markets) and prime-age employment gap and median household income (for local communities) recommended to reach areas that are either (a) most persistently distressed, or (b) most likely to show sustained economic development progress after intervention? VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 Feb 22, 2023 Jkt 259001 10. How can federal grants and cooperative agreements be structured to ensure the impacts of the Recompete Pilot Program are shared broadly and equitably? 11. The statute permits implementation investments only in areas with an approved Recompete Plan. What elements should Recompete Plans include, and against what criteria should EDA evaluate them? 12. How should EDA evaluate Tribal prime-age population given that data from the Department of the Treasury’s Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund programs under title VI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 802 et seq.) are unlikely to be available? 13. What should EDA consider in designing the program for its current funding level of $200 million given the $1 billion vision in the program’s statutory authorization? How should those considerations affect EDA’s design of the program now and potentially into future years? 14. What else should EDA consider when building this program? Specific Request for Information: Recompete Pilot Program Administration 15. What types of administrative or technical assistance will help the recipients of Recompete funding to be more successful during implementation? 16. How should EDA measure the success of the Recompete Pilot Program? a. What would be the indications of a successful implementation investment under the Recompete Pilot Program? 17. How can the Recompete Pilot Program best complement and leverage other Federal, State, and local economic development investments (e.g., HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program, American Rescue Plan Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act, etc.) so that persistent economic distress is alleviated successfully? 18. What is a realistic time period (e.g., 5, 10, 15 years, other?) over which to evaluate the economic development impacts of the Recompete Pilot Program and why? Date: February 17, 2023. Susan Brehm, Regional Director, Economic Development Administration Chicago Regional Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions, have implemented the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR) process, a multi-step method for determining the status of fish stocks in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing webinars; and (3) Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of the Assessment Process is a stock assessment report which describes the fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer reviewed at the Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is a Summary documenting panel opinions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the stock assessment and input data. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, Highly Migratory Species Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Participants include: data collectors and database managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); international experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies.
