Status of Two Authorities Granted to the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration
The Department of Commerce's (Commerce) Economic Development
Administration (EDA) Reauthorization Act of 2004 directed us to
regularly review the implementation of two authorities granted to
the Secretary of Commerce: (1) allowing excess funds from
projects constructed under projected cost to be reinvested in new
or existing projects and (2) establishing a performance award
process for grant recipients that meet or exceed performance
measures established in connection with the grant. This report
(1) discusses EDA's authority to reinvest excess funds and
provides information on the portion of these funds EDA has had to
return to the U.S. Treasury and (2) describes the status of the
performance award system and identifies some steps EDA could take
to develop a useful performance award system.
