Needs and Uses: The information in the application is needed to

which funding is requested and the ability of the prospective
applicants to carry out the proposed activities successfully. Those

Department of Justice Regulations at 28 CFR 42.404, which directs
Federal agencies to publish (Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended) guidelines for each type of program to which they extend
financial assistance, where such guidelines would be appropriate to
provide detailed information of the requirements of Title VI. To
responsibly administer its programs, EDA must obtain certain data on
the jobs to be created and saved, by those that apply for and receive
its assistance (applicants and recipients), and by those that create or
save 15 or more jobs as a result of EDA's assistance.
