{"abstract":"The Economic Development Administration (\"EDA\") published final regulations in the Federal Register on September 27, 2006. In March 2007, the Office of the Inspector General (\"OIG\") published a report titled Aggressive EDA Leadership and Oversight Needed to Correct Persistent Problems in the RLF Program. In the time since the publication of this report, EDA has made significant improvements in the management and oversight of its revolving loan fund (\"RLF\") program, including the issuance of written guidance that provides EDA staff with reasonable steps to help better ensure grantee compliance with RLF requirements. EDA is publishing this interim final rule (this \"IFR\") to synchronize the RLF regulations with that guidance. Additionally, EDA is publishing this IFR to make changes to certain definitions in the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms Program regulations set out in 13 CFR part 315. This IFR also provides notice of other substantive and non-substantive revisions made to the EDA regulations.","action":"Interim final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"Economic Development Administration","name":"Economic Development Administration","id":120,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/economic-development-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/120","parent_id":54,"slug":"economic-development-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2008/10/22/E8-25004.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":300,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":301,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":302,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":303,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":305,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":307,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":308,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":310,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":314,"title":13},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":315,"title":13}],"citation":"73 FR 62858","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2008-12-22","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The effective date of this IFR is October 22, 2008.
