The proposed regulations establish who is eligible for the program, how to apply, how IEED will evaluate applications and make awards, and how IEED will administer the program. The proposed rule is published in the Federal Register and is available at the following link: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-04-13/pdf/2021-07175.pdf&nb…;
