82436 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 244 / Friday, December 18, 2020 / Notices 

OMB Control Number: 0610–0095. 

Form Number(s): ED–209. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Number of Respondents: 1,700. 

Average Hours per Response: 3 hours. 

Burden Hours: 5,100 hours. 

Needs and Uses: 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 long-term 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. 

RLF recipients must submit to EDA 

Form ED–209, RLF Financial Report, 

which collects limited performance 

information that EDA uses to oversee 

and monitor RLF grants (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. 

EDA recently awarded numerous new 

RLF grants. This has increased the 

estimated number of respondents that 

will be required to submit Form ED–209 

and the estimated number of burden 

hours associated with Form ED–209. On 

March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the 

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic 

Security Act (Pub. L. 116–136), 

appropriating $1,500,000,000 in 

supplemental funds to EDA to ‘‘prevent, 

prepare for, and respond to coronavirus 

. . . including for necessary expenses 

for responding to economic injury as a 

result of coronavirus.’’ EDA used a 

significant portion of those funds to 

fund RLF grants. As a result, the number 

of respondents required to submit Form 

ED–209 will increase substantially. 

Although Form ED–209 is being 

extended without change, and the 

estimated amount of time required to 

complete Form ED–209 remains 

unchanged at three hours, the estimated 

annual burden hours for Form ED–209 

is increasing because of the increased 

number of RLF grants and respondents 

required to complete Form ED–209. 

Affected Public: EDA RLF grant 

recipients: State and local governments, 

Indian Tribes, and non-profit 

organizations. 

Frequency: Semi-annual and Annual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 23, 2020, the Secretary 

of Commerce terminated an 

investigation under section 232 of the 

Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as 

amended, which was initiated on May 

19, 2020, to determine whether imports 

of mobile cranes threatened to impair 

the national security. Notice of the 

investigation and a request for public 

comments was published in the Federal 

Register on May 26, 2020 (85 FR 31439). 

The investigation was originally 

requested in an application submitted 

by the Manitowoc Company, Inc. 

(‘‘Manitowoc’’) on December 19, 2019. 

On September 8, 2020, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) received a 

formal request from Manitowoc to 

withdraw its application and terminate 

the investigation. Manitowoc stated that 

the current economic environment is 

very different from when Manitowoc 

submitted the application in December 

2019, given the effects of the COVID–19 

pandemic. The Secretary of Commerce 

has evaluated the request to withdraw 

and has determined that it is 

appropriate to terminate the 

investigation.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 

Administration.
