SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Economic Development
Administration (EDA) leads the Federal
economic development agenda by
promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. Guided by the
basic principle that sustainable
economic development should be
driven locally, EDA works directly with
communities and regions to help them
build the capacity for economic
development based on local business
conditions and needs. The Public Works
and Economic Development Act of 1965
(PWEDA) (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.) is
EDA’s organic authority and is the
primary legal authority under which
EDA awards financial assistance. Under
PWEDA, EDA provides financial
assistance to both rural and urban
distressed communities by fostering
entrepreneurship, innovation, and
productivity through investments in
infrastructure development, workforce
development, capacity building, and
business development to attract private
capital investments and new and better
jobs to regions experiencing economic
distress. Further information on EDA
programs and financial assistance
opportunities can be found at
www.eda.gov.

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
a new information collection by an EDA
grantee. This grantee will collect
information about the economic
development needs, planning, and
priorities of Indigenous communities.
Findings from the survey will inform
EDA’s work with Indigenous
communities and will support other
agencies, organizations, and
communities in better planning,
funding, and implementing economic
development activities.
To that end, the grantee will conduct
an electronic data collection survey. A
subset of the recipients (20) will also be
engaged in phone interviews to better
understand the experiences and
decision-making processes when
evaluating opportunities for economic
development funding. EDA is
particularly interested in public
comment on how the proposed data
collection will support the assessment
of program effectiveness, or if
alternative information should be
considered.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected electronically
and via phone interviews.
