SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Guided by the basic principle that
sustainable economic development
should be locally driven, the Economic
Development Administration (EDA)
works directly with communities and
regions to help them build the capacity
for economic development based on
local business conditions and needs.
The EDA Revolving Loan Fund (RLF)
Program, authorized under section 209
of the Public Works and Economic
Development Act of 1965, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 3149), has served as an
important pillar of EDA investment
programs since the establishment of the
RLF Program in 1975. The purpose of
the RLF Program is to provide regions
with a flexible and continuing source of
capital, to be used with other economic
development tools, for creating and
retaining jobs and inducing private
investment that will contribute to longterm economic stability and growth.
EDA provides RLF grants to eligible
recipients, which include State and
local governments, Indian Tribes, and
non-profit organizations, to operate a
lending program that offers loans with
flexible repayment terms, primarily to
small businesses in distressed
communities that are unable to obtain
traditional bank financing. These loans
enable small businesses to expand and
lead to new employment opportunities
that pay competitive wages and benefits.
A unique feature of the RLF Program
is that the federal interest in RLF awards
does not terminate but may be released
by EDA seven years after completion of
the grant disbursement. EDA RLF
regulations therefore require RLF
recipients to submit to EDA RLF
Financial Report, Form ED–209, which
collects limited performance
information for RLF awards (13 CFR
307.14(a)). EDA currently requires Form
ED–209 to be submitted on an annual
basis for high-performing RLFs and on
a semi-annual basis for other RLFs.
Through implementation of the
Reinvigorating Lending for the Future
Act (RLF Act), EDA released its federal
interest in a substantial portion of the
RLF awards that were previously
required to submit Form ED–209. As a
result, the number of respondents
required to submit Form ED–209 will
decrease. Although Form ED–209 is
being extended without change, and the
estimated amount of time required to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:35 Dec 08, 2023
Jkt 262001
complete Form ED–209 remains
unchanged at three hours, the estimated
annual burden hours for Form ED–209
is decreasing because of the decreased
number of RLF awards and respondents
required to complete Form ED–209.
II. Method of Collection
RLF recipients must complete and
submit the information collected by
Form ED–209 online through a
Salesforce application (‘‘RLF Portal’’) for
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) reporting
that is accessible at https://doceda.my.site.com/RLF/s/login/.

the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
