DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DoC)

has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following information

collection under provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 5).

Agency: Economic Development

Administration (EDA).

Title: Award for Excellence in

Economic Development.

Agency Form Number: Not applicable.

OMB Approval Number: 0610–0097.

Type of Request: Regular submission.

Burden: 150 hours.

Average Hours Per Response: 3.

Number of Respondents:

Approximately 50 respondents.

Needs and Uses: EDA provides a

broad range of economic development

assistance to help distressed

communities design and implement

effective economic development

strategies. Part of this assistance

includes disseminating information

about best practices and encouraging

collegial learning among economic

development practitioners. EDA has

created the Award for Excellence in

Economic Development to recognize

outstanding economic development

activities of national importance. In

order to make Awards for Excellence in

Economic Development, EDA must

collect two kinds of information: (a)

Information identifying the nominee

and contacts within the organization

being nominated and (b) information

explaining why the nominee should be

given the award. The information will

be used to determine those applicants

best meeting the preannounced

selection criteria. Use of a nomination

form standardizes and limits the

information collected as part of the

nomination process. This makes the

competition fair and eases any burden

on applicants and reviewers alike.

Participation in the competition is

voluntary. The award is strictly

honorary.

Affected Public: State, local or Tribal

Government and not-for profit

organizations.

Frequency: Annually.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

obtain benefits.
