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 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 applicants 
for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. The purpose of this 
notice is to seek comments from the public and other Federal agencies

project service map and information from which to determine whether 
services are provided to all segments of the region being assisted (see 
13 CFR 302.16(c)). This information collection is scheduled to expire 
on January 31, 2025.

II. Method of Collection

    Amendments and project service maps are collected via both paper or 
electronic submissions, including email. A recipient must submit a 
written request to EDA to amend an investment award and provide such

require a recipient to submit a project service map and information 
from which to determine whether services are provided to all segments 
of the region being assisted (see CFR 302.16(c)). EDA is not proposing
