This rule makes final an interim rule published on January 18, 1994 that implemented that portion of Subchapter C, Part I (Empowerment Zones, Enterprise Communities and Rural Development Investment Areas) of Title XIII of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 dealing with the designation of urban Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities. The interim rule, consistent with the statute, authorized the Secretary of HUD to designate not more than six urban Empowerment Zones and not more than 65 urban Enterprise Communities based upon the effectiveness of the strategic plan submitted by a State or States and local government(s) nominating an area for designation.
