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. 

The EDA Revolving Loan Fund 

(‘‘RLF’’) Program, authorized under 

section 209 of the Public Works and 

Economic Development Act of 1965, as 

amended (‘‘PWEDA’’) (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. 

A unique feature of the RLF Program 

is that, by law, EDA must exercise 

fiduciary responsibility over its RLF 

portfolio in perpetuity. EDA RLF 

regulations therefore require RLF 

recipients to submit Form ED–209, 

Revolving Loan Fund Financial Report, 

every six months for each RLF they 

operate (13 CFR 307.14(a)). In addition, 

RLF recipients must submit Form ED– 

209I, RLF Income and Expense 

Statement, if either of the following 

conditions applies to their RLF: 

Administrative expenses for the 

reporting period exceeded $100,000, or 

RLF administrative expenses for the 

reporting period exceeded 50 percent of 

RLF income earned during the reporting 

period (13 CFR 307.14(c)). EDA requires 

that both of these reports be completed 

using an authorized and EDA-provided 

fillable PDF (Portable Document 

Format) Form. 

II. Method of Collection 

Currently, Form ED–209 and Form 

ED–209I may be obtained by RLF 

recipients from EDA’s Web site, 

www.eda.gov, or upon request from EDA 

RLF Administrators at each of the EDA 

regional offices. RLF recipients are 

responsible for completing the Forms 

and submitting them to their assigned 

EDA RLF Administrators in compliance 

with EDA regulations.
