The Defense Economic Adjustment Program assists communities in the alleviation of serious socioeconomic impacts from major Department of Defense (DoD) base closures. The Secretary of Defense may make grants to information clearinghouses, or serve as an information clearinghouse, for state and local governments for planning community adjustments and economic diversification in response to base closures and realignments. To facilitate evaluation of the Defense Economic Adjustment Program, the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) collects specific reuse data regarding the conversion of military installations to civilian uses on an annual basis. There are no substantial changes from the old submission other than the mentioned burden increase which is why this is labeled as a reinstatement with change.
