The Department of Commerce plans to submit an information collection request related to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. This request is part of their efforts to assess and improve information collection and reduce public reporting burdens. They are seeking comments from the public and other federal agencies on this proposed collection, which is primarily aimed at ensuring compliance with requirements for obtaining Economic Development Administration (EDA) investment assistance. The comment period is open for 30 days, and interested parties can view and comment on the request at www.reginfo.gov.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce wants to check how useful their plans for helping communities grow are and make it easier for people to give them information without spending too much time on it. They're asking people to tell them if their ideas make sense and are worth the effort.
