Secretary of the Interior to provide
grants to assist Indian tribes in the
development of energy resources and
further the goal of Indian selfdetermination.
The Office of Indian Energy and
Economic Development (IEED)
administers and manages the energy
resource development grant program
under the Energy and Minerals
Development Program (EMDP).
Congress may appropriate funds to
EMDP on a year-to-year basis. When
funding is available, IEED may solicit
proposals for energy resource
development projects from Indian tribes
and tribal energy resource development
organizations for use in carrying out
projects to promote the integration of
energy resources, and to process, use or
develop those energy resources on
Indian land. The projects may be in the
areas of exploration, assessment,
development, feasibility, or market
studies. Indian tribes that would like to
apply for an EMDP grant must submit
an application that includes certain
information, and must assist IEED by
providing information in support of any
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analyses.
II. Request for Comments
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
requests your comments on this
collection concerning: (a) The necessity
of this information collection for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden (hours and cost)
of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
