The Energy Policy Act of 2005
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to provide assistance to Indian tribes
and tribal energy resource development
organizations for energy development
and appropriates funds for such projects
on a year-to-year basis. See 25 U.S.C.
3502. When funding is available, the
Office of Indian Energy and Economic
Development (IEED) may solicit
proposals for projects for building
capacity for tribal energy resource
development on Indian land from tribal
energy resource development
organizations and Indian tribes,
including Alaska Native regional and
village corporations under the TEDC
program. For the purposes of this
program, ‘‘Indian land’’ includes: All
land within the boundaries of an Indian
reservation, pueblo, or Rancheria; any
land outside those boundaries that is
held by the United States in trust for a
tribe or individual Indian or by a tribe
or individual Indian with restrictions on
alienation; and land owned by an
Alaska Native regional or village
corporation.
Those who would like to submit a
TEDC project proposal must submit an
application that includes certain
information and, once funding is
received must submit reports on how
they are using the funding. A complete
application must contain the following:
• A formal signed resolution of the
governing body of the tribe or tribal
energy resource development
organization demonstrating authority to
apply;
• A proposal describing the planned
activities and deliverable products; and
• A detailed budget estimate,
including contracted personnel costs,
travel estimates, data collection and
analysis costs, and other expenses.
The project proposal must include the
information about the tribe or tribal
energy resource development
organization sufficient to allow IEED to
evaluate the proposal based on the
following criteria:
(a) Energy resource potential;
(b) Applicant’s energy resource
development history and current status;
(c) Applicant’s existing energy
resource development capabilities;
(d) Demonstrated willingness of the
applicant to establish and maintain an
independent energy resource
development business entity;
(e) Intent to develop and retain energy
development capacity within the
applicant’s government or business
entities; and
(f) Applicant commitment of staff,
training, or monetary resources.

I. Abstract

III. Data
OMB Control Number: 1076–0164.
Title: Home-living Programs and
School Closure and Consolidation.
Brief Description of Collection:
Submission of this information allows
the Department of the Interior to ensure
that minimum academic standards for
the education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met.
Response is required to obtain a benefit.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Indian tribes.
Number of Respondents: There are 66
schools with residential programs, of
which 28 are Bureau-operated and 38
are tribally operated. Thus, the
collection of information must be
cleared for 38 of the 66 residential
schools.
Total Number of Responses: 730 per
year, on average.
Frequency of Response: Annual or on
occasion, depending on the activity.
Estimated Time per Response: Ranges
from 0.02 hours to 40 hours, depending
on the activity.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,344 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Non-Hour
Dollar Cost: $0.

Public Law 107–110, the No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act of January 8,
2001, requires all schools including
Bureau-funded boarding/residential
schools to ensure that all children have
a fair, equal, and significant opportunity
to obtain a high-quality education and
reach, at a minimum, proficiency on
challenging academic achievement
standards and assessments. The NCLB
Act, and implementing regulations at 25
CFR part 36, requires the Bureau to
implement national standards for homeliving situations in all Bureau-funded
residential schools. The Bureau must
collect information from all Bureaufunded residential schools in order to
assess each school’s progress in meeting
the national standards. The Bureau is
seeking renewal of the approval for this
information collection to ensure that
minimum academic standards for the
education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Triballycontrolled contact and grant schools are
met.
