Needs and Uses: EDA may award assistance for construction projects
through its Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA)
Programs. Public Works Program investments help support the
construction or rehabilitation of essential public infrastructure and
facilities necessary to generate or retain private sector jobs and
investments, attract private sector capital, and promote vibrant
economic ecosystems, regional competitiveness, and innovation. The EAA
Program provides a wide range of technical, planning, and
infrastructure assistance in regions experiencing adverse economic
changes that may occur suddenly or over time.
EDA is seeking an extension of the series of checklists and
templates (formerly referred to as the ``bluebook'') that constitute
EDA's post-approval construction tools and the Standard Terms and
Conditions for Construction Projects. These checklists and templates,
as well as any special conditions incorporated into the terms and
conditions at the time of award, supplement the requirements that apply
to EDA-funded construction projects.
Affected Public: Current recipients of EDA construction (Public
Works or Economic Assistance Adjustment) awards, to include (1) cities
or other political subdivisions of a state, including a special purpose
unit of state
[[Page 44024]]
or local government engaged in economic or infrastructure development
activities, or a consortium of political subdivisions; (2) states; (3)
institutions of higher education or a consortium of institutions of
higher education; (4) public or private non-profit organizations or
associations; (5) District Organizations; and (6) Indian Tribes or a
