Summary

Grants made under this subchapter that are put, directly or indirectly, into a small investment company, local development company, limited small business investment company, or a small business investment company licensee under section 681(d) of title 15 must be counted as paid-in capital and surplus for the purposes of sections 682, 683, and 696 of title 15. Within 90 days after August 13, 1981, the Small Business Administration’s Administrator, after talking with the Secretary, must write rules so community development corporations can use programs that support the goals of this subchapter, including programs under section 637(a) of title 15. Areas chosen for help under this subchapter are treated as “redevelopment areas” under section 401 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965. They qualify for assistance under titles I and II of that Act and meet the overall economic development program rules in section 202(b)(10). Within 90 days after August 13, 1981, the Secretary of Commerce must issue rules so community development corporations and cooperatives qualify for and can receive Economic Development Administration programs that support this subchapter.
