SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The mission of the Economic Development Administration (EDA) is to 
lead the Federal economic agenda by promoting innovation and 
competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in 
the worldwide economy. In order to effectively administer and monitor 
its economic development assistance programs, EDA collects certain 
information from applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment 
assistance.
    A recipient must request in writing EDA's approval to undertake an 
incidental use of property acquired or improved with EDA's investment 
assistance (see 13 CFR 314.3 of EDA's regulations). This collection of 
information allows EDA to determine whether an incidental use of 
property acquired or improved with EDA investment assistance is 
appropriate. If a recipient wishes 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 and disclose to EDA the intended future use of the real 
property or the tangible personal property for which the release is 
requested (see 13 CFR 314.10 of EDA's regulations). This collection of 
information allows EDA to determine whether to release its real 
property or tangible personal property interests.
