The Department of Commerce is asking for public comments on a request they will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding information collection for managing properties. This process allows the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to evaluate if properties funded by EDA can be used in different ways without affecting their original purpose or funding terms. Individuals or organizations that currently receive EDA support are required to submit this information if they wish to use or alter the properties. They invited the public to offer feedback within 30 days, which helps lessen the reporting burden for everyone involved.
