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 applications for, and 

recipients of, EDA investment 

assistance. EDA may award assistance 

for construction projects through its 

Public Works and Economic Adjustment 

Assistance (EAA) programs. Public 

Works program investments help 

support the construction or 

rehabilitation of essential public 

infrastructure and facilities necessary to 

generate or retain private sector jobs and 

investments, attract private sector 

capital, and promote vibrant economic 

ecosystems, regional competitiveness, 

and innovation. The EAA program 

provides a wide range of technical, 

planning, and infrastructure assistance 

in regions experiencing adverse 

economic changes that may occur 

suddenly or over time. 

EDA seeks comments from the public 

and other Federal agencies on a 

proposed revision and extension of the 

series of checklists and templates that 

constitute EDA’s post-approval tool for 

construction projects. These checklists 

and templates, as well as any special 

conditions incorporated into the terms 

and conditions at the time of award, 

supplement the requirements that apply 

to EDA-funded construction projects.
