These collections of information will
allow EDA to determine whether to: (i) permit an incidental use
property acquired or improved with EDA investment assistance; or
(ii) release its interest in real or tangible personal
property.
Incidental use requests and
requests to release EDAs property interest have increased since
2006 in response to rapid economic shifts as well as changes in the
health of the real estate market and municipal finances (45 to
105). EDA has determined that the previous estimate of 4 hours (now
2 hours and 45 minutes) to prepare a request was excessive, given
that most requests are a single page letter. The ROCIS system is
showing $0 cost burden for the previous submission due to rounding
off when migrating the collection to ROCIS. The system allows the
actual cost increase of $66 to be recorded.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
