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.
