This information collection allows the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED) to solicit proposals for projects for building capacity for tribal energy resource development from Indian tribes whose lands are held in trust or restricted fee by the Federal government. IEED then provides funding in the form of Tribal Energy Development Capacity Program (TEDC) grantts. Indian tribes that would like to apply for a TEDC grant must submit an application.
The program has been continuously collecting quarterly reports from respondents; however, the program only submitted semi-annual reporting to OMB for approval. This is a mistake that is now being remedied. Quarterly reporting is allowed under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
