ED-900B – Beneficiary Information Form
Please note: in order to be complete, this form must be signed and dated in
two places, following section D and section E.
By signing this form, the beneficiary is providing an estimate of jobs and private investment that are projected as a result if the
project is funded and is not a legal assurance. While the ED-900B does not create a repayment obligation if the estimates are
not achieved, EDA expects the form to represent a good-faith estimate of projected impact as a result of the proposed
investment. EDA carefully reviews project impacts from the ED-900B against publicly available data to gauge the
reasonableness of estimates provided based on project type, geography and past work and estimates and information reported
erroneously can impact the competitiveness of applications.

A. General Information
A.1. Proposed EDA Project Title:
Lead Applicant:
EDA provides competitive grant assistance to eligible public entities to support the construction of public
infrastructure that helps create the competitive environment where companies can create and retain jobs and invest
private capital.
This form must be completed by an authorized or corporate representative of the identified beneficiary
organization whose position reflects the authority required to make these assurances (such as the authority
to hire employees). Legal authorization for a corporate official may be specified in the Corporation’s or LLC’s
formation documentation, bylaws, or similar document and under the laws governing the Virgin Islands, American
Samoa, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. In the case of an individual executing this
form as a sole proprietor or private owner, the sole proprietor’s or owner’s role and position must be indicated. For
other circumstances, please contact your Regional Office.

B. Products or Services
Briefly describe the products or services your business produces or sells, and if any of these products or services

C. Estimated Impact of the EDA Investment
C.1. Complete the table below to specify the number of long-term, full time direct jobs and private investment that
are estimated to be realized as a result of the proposed EDA investment. For the purposes of completing the
table in this section:
• Jobs created should be a direct result of this project. For example, a water or sewer project that will service
a firm and allow the firm to grow its capacity and hire 60 full-time workers. In this example, 60 would be
entered in the table under jobs created.
• Jobs saved means that without this project the jobs listed would be lost. For example, a company is
experiencing adverse production impacts due to ongoing disruptions to its wastewater system. If the
disruptions continue, it could jeopardize the company’s ability to continue operating at the location and
risks 40 jobs being lost. If the proposed project would address the disruption and allow the plant to continue
operating at the proposed site, then those 40 jobs would be identified as jobs saved. Please note, the
current number of employees of a beneficiary should not be included as jobs saved unless there is a
confirmed threat that the jobs would be lost (i.e., the company would move or close) if the project were not
undertaken.
• Only long-term, full-time direct jobs should be listed in the table. Part-time jobs should be converted to fulltime equivalents (sum the total part-time hours worked per week and divide by the hourly work week for fulltime employees, normally 35-40 hours).
• Private Investment means the total private sector capital investment made because of the EDA investment,
including investments in new plant and equipment. Do not report private sector contributions to project
construction or loan fund capitalization reported above in this section.
