Recipient Section Instructions

Private Investment Generated as a result of the EDA investment.

The total private sector 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.

Direct Project Jobs:

Total Jobs: Total of jobs created and retained at the time of this report.

Jobs Generally: Only permanent and direct jobs may be counted. Part-time jobs should be converted to full-time equivalents (sum the total part-time hours worked per week and divide by the hourly work week for full-time employees, normally 35-40 hours).

Jobs Created: Private sector jobs created by businesses and other project beneficiaries as a result of the EDA project.

Jobs Retained: Private sector jobs retained as a result of the EDA project.

Direct Jobs: Include those created or retained by employers located at the project site or by firms that require services of the EDA-funded facility in order to locate, expand or operate in the project area. Recipients should report other direct or directly-related jobs, including subsequent employers that locate or expand in the project area as a result of the project. For some projects (e.g., roads, water and sewer lines), direct jobs may include those created by firms that were not originally anticipated as part of the project; however the firms required the facility or service provided by the EDA project in order to locate or expand in the area.

Record retention: Recipients must retain supporting performance documentation for a minimum of three years.

For RLF reporting: Actual Created Jobs are the result of and attributable to the RLF loan, and have been verified by the borrower. Created jobs may be credited if the jobs were created within five years of loan disbursement or, if construction is involved, within five years after construction completion regardless of the status of the loan. A created job must be removed if the job fails to last 18 months. For loans paid in full, borrowers may use the job data on file provided there is confidence in the reliability of the data. If there is a question on reliability, the data should be verified by the next annual reporting period. Retained Jobs are existing jobs where it can be documented that without the RLF assistance, the jobs would have been lost.

Special Provision for RLF Recapitalization: For GPRA purposes, private investment and jobs reported in years three, six and nine (3, 6 and 9) following award of an RLF recapitalization should be reported from the date of the recap, not from the date of the initial RLF award. For example, if the RLF was initially awarded in 1995 and received a recapitalization award in 1999, only those jobs and private sector investments dollars generated from 1999 to the end of the appropriate reporting period should be reported.
