Economic Development Assistance Programs--Availability of Funds
Under Pub. L. 105-393
AGENCY: Economic Development Administration (EDA), Department of
Commerce (DoC).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Economic Development Administration (EDA) announces its
policies and application procedures under the Economic Development
Administration Reform Act from the effective date, (see below) through
the end of fiscal year 1999 to support projects designed to alleviate
conditions of substantial and persistent unemployment and
underemployment in economically-distressed areas and regions of the
Nation, to address economic dislocations resulting from sudden and
severe job losses, and to administer the Agency's programs.
DATES: This announcement is effective for applications considered under
Pub. L. 105-393 through the end of fiscal year 1999. Unless otherwise
noted below, applications are accepted on a continuous basis and will
be processed as funds are available. Normally, two months are required
for a final decision after the receipt of a completed application that
meets all EDA requirements.
Effective Date of Pub. L. 105-393:
Pub. L. 105-393, effective February 11, 1999 replaces and amends
the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended
(PWEDA). EDA's interim final rule to implement Pub. L. 105-393 was
published in the FR (64 FR 5347, February 3, 1999), as separate Part
II.
Appropriations Under Pub. L. 105-277:
Under EDA's fiscal year 1999 appropriation, Pub. L. 105-277,
October 22, 1998, EDA's program funds total $368,379,000. Of this
amount $248,796,000 is available through June 15, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the EDA office in their
area, or in Washington, DC, as appropriate (see Section XII).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See information in Section XII for the
EDA regional office and Economic Development Representative (EDR), or
for programs handled out of Washington, DC, as appropriate.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Policies
In light of its limited resources and the demonstrated widespread
need for economic development, EDA encourages only project proposals
that will significantly benefit areas experiencing or threatened with
substantial economic distress. EDA will focus its scarce financial
resources on communities with the highest economic distress. Distress
may exist in a variety of forms, including, but not limited to, high
levels of unemployment, low income levels, large concentrations of low-
income families, significant decline in per capita income, substantial
loss of population because of the lack of employment opportunities,
large numbers (or high rates) of business failures, sudden major
layoffs or plant closures, military base closures, natural disasters,
depletion of natural resources, and/or reduced tax bases.
Potential applicants are responsible for demonstrating to EDA, by
providing statistics and other appropriate information, the nature and
level of the distress their project efforts are intended to alleviate.
In the absence of evidence of high levels of distress, EDA funding is
unlikely.
EDA's strategic funding priorities are intended to implement Pub.L.
105-393 and to serve as a continuation of the general goals in place
over the past five fiscal years, refined to reflect the priorities of
the U. S. Department of Commerce. Unless otherwise noted below, the
funding priorities, as listed below, will be applied by the Selecting
Official (depending upon the program, either the Regional Director or
Assistant Secretary) after completion of a project proposal's review
based upon evaluation criteria described in EDA's regulations published
in the FR (64 FR 5347, February 3, 1999), as separate Part II. During
FY 1999, EDA is interested in receiving projects that support the
priorities of the U.S. Department of Commerce, including:
The construction and rehabilitation of essential public
works infrastructure and economic development facilities that are
necessary to achieve long-term growth and provide stable and
diversified local economies in the Nation's distressed communities.
Assistance to communities suffering job losses and/or
plant closings resulting from changing trade patterns. This may
include, but is not limited to, projects for export promotion,
identification of new markets and products, increased productivity, and
diversification of the local economic base.
The commercialization and deployment of technology;
particularly information technology and telecommunications, and efforts
that support technology transfer, application and deployment for
community economic development. Also included under this category would
be projects that support the development of new environmental
technologies and techniques (e.g., innovative material recycling or
reuses, pollution control or treatment processes, and flood mitigation)
that significantly enhance an area's economic development potential;
Sustainable development which will provide long-term
economic development (e.g., diversification of natural resource
dependent economies, eco-industrial parks, aquaculture facilities, and
brownfields' redevelopment) benefits without compromising the
environment for future generations;
Entrepreneurial development, especially local capacity
building, and including small business incubators and community
financial intermediaries (e.g., revolving loan funds);
Economic adjustment, especially in response to military
base and Federal laboratory closures and downsizing, defense industry
downsizing, and post-disaster, long-term economic recovery;
Infrastructure and economic development facilities located
in federally authorized and designated rural and urban Enterprise
Communities and Empowerment Zones and state enterprise zones;
Projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to
economic development;
Projects that support the economic development of Indian
country, including Alaska Native Villages; and/or
Projects that support locally created partnerships that
focus on regional solutions for economic development will be given
priority over proposals that are more limited in scope. For example,
projects that evidence collaboration in fostering an increase in
regional (multicounty and/or multistate) productivity and growth will
be considered to the extent that such projects demonstrate a
substantial benefit to economically distressed areas of the region.
To the degree that one or more funding priorities are included (or
packaged together) in the proposal, your ability to obtain EDA
assistance would be enhanced.

1. The delinquent account is paid in full;
2. A negotiated repayment schedule is established and at least one
payment is received; or
3. Other arrangements satisfactory to DoC are made.
Unsatisfactory performance under prior Federal awards may result in
an application not being considered for funding.

the grant award and grounds for possible punishment by a fine or
imprisonment as provided in 18 U.S.C. 1001.
Applicants are hereby notified that any equipment or products
authorized to be purchased with funding provided under this program
must be American-made to the maximum extent feasible.

EDA approval, must obtain a letter from EDA allowing such early start.
The letter allowing the early start will be null and void if the
project is not subsequently approved for funding by the grants officer.
Approval of an early start does not constitute project approval.
Applicants should be aware that if they incur any costs prior to an
award being made they do so solely at their own risk of not being
reimbursed by the Government. Notwithstanding any verbal or written
assurance that may have been received, there is no obligation on the
part of DoC to cover preaward costs. Additionally, EDA also requires
that compliance with environmental regulations, in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), be completed before
construction begins.
If an application is selected for funding, EDA has no obligation to
provide any additional future funding in connection with an award.
Renewal of an award to increase funding or extend the period of
performance is at the sole discretion of EDA.
Unless otherwise noted below, eligibility, program objectives,
application procedures, selection procedures, evaluation criteria and
other requirements for all programs are set forth in EDA's regulations
published in the FR (64 FR 5347, February 3, 1999), as separate Part
