Economic Development Assistance Programs--Availability of Funds

AGENCY: Economic Development Administration (EDA), Department of 
Commerce (DoC).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Economic Development Administration (EDA) announces its 
policies and application procedures during fiscal year 1998 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 for 
fiscal year 1998. 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.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the EDA office in their 
area, or in Washington, D.C., 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, D.C., 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 
having the greatest potential to benefit areas experiencing or 
threatened with substantial economic distress. EDA will focus its 
scarce financial resources on communities most in distress. Distress 
may exist in a variety of forms, including 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, and/or reduced tax bases.
    Potential applicants are responsible for demonstrating to EDA, 
through the provision of 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.
    In FY 1998, EDA's strategic funding priorities are 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 
review based upon evaluation criteria described in EDA's regulations at 
13 CFR Chapter III. During FY 1998, EDA is interested in receiving 
projects which 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.
     Export promotion;
     The commercialization and deployment of technology; 
particularly information technology and telecommunications, and efforts 
that support technology transfer, application and deployment for 
community economic development;
     Sustainable development which will provide long-term 
economic development benefits, including responses to economic 
dislocation caused by national environmental policies (hazardous waste 
clean-up, etc.); also considered a priority are projects involving 
reuse of ``brownfields,'' especially pilot projects selected under the 
Environmental Protection Agency's ``Brownfields Initiative'' program; 
also considered priority are projects involving eco-industrial parks, 
which have been broadly defined by the President's Council on 
Sustainable Development, as a community of businesses that cooperate 
with each other and with the local community to efficiently share 
resources (information, materials, water, energy, infrastructure and 
natural habitat), leading to economic gains, gains in environmental 
quality, and equitable enhancement of human resources for the business 
and local community;
     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 base and 
Federal laboratory closures and downsizing, defense industry 
downsizing, and post-disaster, long-term economic recovery;
     Infrastructure and 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; 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 (multi-county and/or multi-state) productivity and growth will 
be considered to the extent that such projects demonstrate a 
substantial benefit to economically-distressed areas of the region.

II. Other Information and Requirements

     See EDA's regulations at 13 CFR chapter III.
     Additional information and requirements are as follows:
    All primary applicants must submit a completed Form CD-511, 
``Certifications Regarding Debarment, Suspension and Other 
Responsibility Matters; Drug-Free Workplace Requirements and 
Lobbying,'' and the following explanations are hereby provided:
    Prospective participants (as defined at 15 CFR part 26, section 
105) ``Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension'' and the related 
section of the certification form prescribed above applies;
    Grantees (as defined at 15 CFR Part 26, Section 605) are subject to 
15 CFR part 26, Subpart F, ``Governmentwide Requirements for Drug-Free 
Workplace (Grants)'' and the related section of the certification form 
prescribed above applies;
     Persons (as defined at 15 CFR part 28, section 105) are 
subject to the lobbying provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1352, ``Limitation on 
use of appropriated funds to influence certain Federal contracting and 
financial transactions,'' and the lobbying section of the certification 
form prescribed above applies to applications/bids for grants, 
cooperative agreements, and contracts

[[Page 10117]]

for more than $100,000, and loans and loan guarantees for more than 
$150,000, or the single family maximum mortgage limit for affected 
programs, whichever is greater; and
    Any applicant that has paid or will pay for lobbying using any 
funds must submit an SF-LLL, ``Disclosure of Lobbying Activities,'' as 
required under 15 CFR part 28, Appendix B.
    Recipients shall require applicants/bidders for subgrants, 
contracts, subcontracts, or other lower tier covered transactions at 
any tier under the award to submit, if applicable, a completed Form CD-
512, ``Certifications Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility 
and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transactions and Lobbying'' 
and disclosure form, SF-LLL ``Disclosure of Lobbying Activities.'' Form 
CD-512 is intended for the use of recipients and should not be 
transmitted to DoC. SF-LLL submitted by any tier recipient or 
subrecipient should be submitted to DoC in accordance with the 
instructions contained in the award document.
    No award of Federal funds will be made to an applicant who has an 
outstanding delinquent Federal debt until either:
    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.
    Applicants should be aware that a false statement on the 
application is grounds for denial of the application or termination of 
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.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) unless that collection of 
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. This notice involves a collection of information 
requirement subject to the provisions of the PRA and has been approved 
by OMB under Control Number 0610-0094.
    Applicants seeking an early start, i.e. to begin a project before 
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.
    EDA also requires that compliance with environmental regulations, 
in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), be 
completed before construction begins.
    The total dollar amount of the indirect costs proposed in an 
application under any EDA program must not exceed the indirect cost 
rate negotiated and approved by a cognizant Federal agency prior to the 
proposed effective date of the award or 100 percent of the total 
proposed direct costs dollar amount in the application, whichever is 
less.
    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 and 
descriptions, application procedures, selection procedures, evaluation 
criteria and other requirements for all programs are set forth in EDA's 
regulations at 13 CFR Chapter III.
