DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Economic Development Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Requirements for Approved Construction 
Investments

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on November 7, 2024, during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: Economic Development Administration (EDA), Commerce.
    Title: Requirements for Approved Construction Investments.
    OMB Control Number: 0610-0096.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 2 hours.
    Burden Hours: 7,000 hours.
    Needs and Uses: 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 is seeking an extension of the series of checklists and 
templates that constitute EDA's post-approval construction tools and 
the Standard Terms and Conditions 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.
    Affected Public: Current recipients of EDA construction (Public 
Works or Economic Assistance Adjustment) awards, to include (1) cities 
or other political subdivisions of a state, including a special purpose 
unit of state or local government engaged in economic or infrastructure 
development activities, or a consortium of political subdivisions; (2) 
states; (3) institutions of higher education or a consortium of 
institutions of higher education; (4) public or private non-profit 
organizations or associations; (5) District Organizations; and (6) 
Indian Tribes or a consortia of Indian Tribes.
    Frequency: One time, although some are periodic.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: The Public Works and Economic Development Act of 
1965 (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.).
