SUMMARY: The Administration for
Native Americans (ANA) herein issues
final interpretive rules, general
statement of policy, and rules of agency
procedure or practice in relation to the
Social and Economic Development
Strategies (SEDS) project SMART NA
Communities (Strengthening Marriages
and Relationships in Tribal and Native
American Communities). For FY 2005,
ANA reserved an amount of funding
under the SEDS program to fund
projects that are beneficial to the
development of healthy Native
American communities. ANA has
decided to participate in ACF’s Healthy
Marriage Initiative, and intends to use
the reserved SEDS funds to support
projects that improve child well-being
by removing barriers associated with
forming and retaining healthy families
and marriages in Native American
communities. Under the statute, ANA is
required to provide members of the
public an opportunity to comment on
proposed changes in interpretive rules,
statements of general policy, and rules
of agency procedure or practice, and to
give notice of the final adoption of such
changes at least 30 days before the
changes become effective. The notice
also provides additional information
about ANA’s plan for administering the
programs.
DATES: June 28, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila Cooper, Director of Program
Operations, at (877) 922–9262.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Section 814 of the Native American
Programs Act of 1974 (the Act), as
amended, ANA is required to provide
notice of its proposed interpretive rules,
statements of policy and rules of agency
organization, procedure or practice. The
Administration for Native Americans
published a Notice of Public Comment
(NOPC) on May 27, 2005 (70 FR 30755),
on proposed ANA policy and program

clarifications, modifications and
activities for the FY 2005 SEDS–SMART
NA program announcement. The NOPC
closed June 27, 2005. ANA did not
receive any public comments on the
NOPC, and this notice shall suffice as
ANA’s final policy.
Additional Information
Final Policies and Procedures
1. General
This SEDS SMART NA Communities
program area incorporates a majority of
the requirements as contained in the
SEDS program announcement. There are
a few instances where ANA has opted
to change the request for information for
this program area only. The differences
are noted below.
2. Evaluation Criteria
The Impact Indicators, as established
in the FY 2005 SEDS program
announcement under ANA Evaluation
Criteria Five, will be used for this
program area except for the following:
(2) Number of codes or ordinances
developed and implemented; (3)
number of people to successfully
complete a workshop/training; (8)
number of community-based small
businesses established or expanded; (9)
identification of Tribal or Village
government business, industry, energy
or financial codes or ordinances that
were adopted or enacted; and (10)
number of micro-businesses started.
ANA does not believe that the capture
of this data will affect the impact or
demonstrate the success of the grants.
The number of suggested ANA Impact
Indicators has been reduced to five
indicators. (Legal authority: Section
803(a) of the Native American Programs
Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 2991b)
3. ANA Funding Restrictions
ANA will use the Funding
Restrictions established under the FY
2005 SEDS program announcement,
except for the following: Core
Administration has been modified to
remove the last sentence, ‘‘Under Alaska
SEDS projects, ANA will consider
funding core administrative capacity
building projects at the Village
government level if the Village does not
have governing systems in place.’’ and
the sentence, ‘‘Projects that do not
further the three interrelated ANA goals
of economic development, social
development and governance or meet
the purpose of this program
announcement.’’ This program area is
not associated with the Alaska SEDS
program area nor is it intended to
interrelate to the goals of economic
development, social development or

governance. (Legal authority: Section
803(a) of the Native American Programs
Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 2991b)

4. Administrative Policies
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Comprehensive Conservation Plan and
Environmental Assessment for
Sacramento, Delevan, Colusa and
Sutter National Wildlife Refuges,
Glenn, Colusa, and Sutter Counties,
CA
ANA will be using the administrative
policies as included in the FY 2005
SEDS program announcement except:
‘‘An applicant can have only one active
ANA SEDS grant operating at any given
time’’ and ‘‘Applicants proposing an
Economic Development project must
address the project’s viability. A
business plan, if applicable, must be
included to describe the project’s
feasibility, cash flow and approach for
the implementation and marketing of
the business.’’ Neither of these policies
applies to this program. Special
initiative awards such as this program
will be issued a SEDS grant number and
therefore an entity will be able to
administer a regular SEDS award in
addition to this project. Business
development and the promotion of
economic development are not
components of this demonstration.
(Legal authority: Section 803(a) of the
Native American Programs Act of 1974,
45 U.S.C. 2991b)
5. Funding Thresholds
The funding threshold for this
program area will be $50,000 (floor
amount) to $150,000 (ceiling amount)
per budget period. Applications
exceeding the $150,000 threshold will
be considered non-responsive and will
not be considered for funding under this
announcement. (Legal authority: Section
803(a) of the Native American Programs
Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 2991b)
Technical Correction
Upon general review of the Notice,
the phrase ‘‘demonstration project’’ has
been replaced with the text ‘‘program
area’’. The reference to demonstration
projects was inadvertently placed in the
text. Upon general review, the legal
authority was clarified to reflect that
specific section of the authority under
which this program area will be funded.
