Definitions.
For purposes of this rule:
"Administering agency"
means the economic
				  development authority, the Iowa finance authority, or the department of
				  agriculture and land stewardship.
"Grant recipient"
means a person who applies
				  for and is issued a qualifying COVID-19 grant by an administering
				  agency.
"Issued"
means the approval of the grant
				  recipient's application and amount for a qualifying COVID-19 grant by an

				  administering agency.
(2)
Qualifying COVID-19 grant programs.
a. The department is responsible for
				determining whether a grant program provides "qualifying COVID-19 grants" as
				defined in Iowa Code section
				422.7(62)
				 as amended by 2021 Iowa Acts, Senate File
				619, section 5. In making this determination, and for purposes of the
				definition of "qualifying COVID-19 grant," a grant program is "created to
				primarily provide COVID-19 related financial assistance to economically
				impacted individuals and businesses located in this state" if that grant
				program, at the time of its inception, was intended by the administering agency
				to provide a majority (more than 50 percent) of its financial assistance to or
				for the benefit of businesses that are doing business in Iowa or are deriving
				income from sources within Iowa, and that are economically affected by the
				COVID-19 pandemic.
b. The
				administering agency shall notify the director of the existence of any grant
				program it believes may be a qualifying COVID-19 grant program. Upon such
				notification, the department will request from the administering agency the
				information necessary to determine whether that program is a qualifying
				COVID-19 grant as defined in Iowa Code section
				422.7(62)
				 as amended by 2021 Iowa Acts, Senate File
				619, section 5, and this rule. The administering agency shall provide the
				department with the requested information within the time frame prescribed by
				the department in its request. Failure to provide the requested information to
				the department shall prevent the department from determining that the grant
				program is a qualifying COVID-19 grant. Grant programs not specifically listed
				below in paragraph 53.30(2)
"c"
are not qualifying COVID-19
				grants and are not eligible for the exclusion provided in this rule, even if
				that program may otherwise meet the definition of "qualifying COVID-19 grant"
				in Iowa Code section
				422.7(62)
				 as amended by 2021 Iowa Acts, Senate File
				619, section 5.
