information.

Abstract: The Native American Career
and Technical Education Program
(NACTEP) is requesting approval to
collect semi-annual, annual/
continuation reports, and final
performance reports from currently
funded NACTEP grantees. This
information is necessary to (1) manage
and monitor the current NACTEP
grantees, and (2) award continuation
grants for years four and five of the
grantees’ performance periods. The
continuation performance reports will
include budgets, performance/statistical
reports, GPRA reports, and evaluation
reports. The data, collected from the
performance reports, will be used to
determine if the grantees successfully
met their project goals and objectives, so
that NACTEP staff can award
continuation grants. Final performance
reports are required to determine
whether or not the grant is in
compliance with the NACTEP grant
program requirements.
