energy resource development
organizations and Indian tribes,
including Alaska Native regional 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.
The IEED requires this information to

those projects that meet the goals of the
