regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. Guided by the
basic principle that sustainable
economic development should be
locally driven, 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, 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. First, this collection of
information allows EDA to determine
whether an incidental use of property
acquired or improved with EDA
investment assistance is appropriate.
Property management requests are
collected primarily through electronic
submissions but may also be collected
through paper submission.

II. Method of Collection
Pursuant to 13 CFR part 314.3(g), an
incidental use of property: (1) does not
interfere with the scope of the project or
the economic purpose for which the
investment was made; (2) provided that
the recipient is in compliance with
applicable law and the terms and
conditions of the investment assistance,
and (3) the incidental use of the
property will not violate the terms and
conditions of the investment assistance
or otherwise adversely affect the
economic useful life of the property. A
recipient must request in writing EDA’s
approval to undertake an incidental use
of property acquired or improved with
EDA’s investment assistance pursuant
to.
Second, this collection of information
allows EDA to determine whether to
release its real property or tangible
personal property interests. If a
recipient wishes for EDA to release its
real property or tangible personal
property interests before the expiration
of the property’s estimated useful life,
the recipient must submit a written
request to EDA. Pursuant to 13 CFR
314.10(c), the recipient must disclose to
EDA the intended future use of the
property for which the release is
requested.
This information collection is

2024. EDA is not proposing any changes
to the current information collection
request.
