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.

1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
