SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Energy Policy Act of 2005
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to provide assistance to Indian tribes 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 IEED may
solicit proposals for projects for
building capacity for tribal energy
resource development on Indian land
from 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.
Tribes may use the contracting
mechanism established by the Indian
Self-Determination Act or may receive
the money through adjustments to their
funding from the Office of SelfGovernance. See 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.
Indian tribes that would like to submit
a TEDC project proposal must submit an
application that includes certain

received, must submit reports on how
they are using the funding. A complete
application must contain the following
elements:
• A formal signed resolution of the
governing body of the tribe;
• 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
information about the tribe sufficient to
allow IEED to evaluate the proposal
based on the following criteria:
(a) Energy resource potential;
(b) Tribe’s energy resource
development history and current status;
(c) Tribe’s existing energy resource
development capabilities;
(d) Demonstrated willingness of the
tribe to develop independent energy
resource development business entity;
(e) Intent to develop and retain energy
development capacity within tribal
government or business entities; and
(f) Tribal commitment of staff,
training, or monetary resources.
The IEED requires this information to
ensure that it provides funding only to
those projects that meet the goals of the
TEDC and the purposes for which
Congress provides the appropriations.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
provides an opportunity for interested
parties to comment on proposed
information collection requests. The
IEED is proceeding with this public
comment period to obtain an
information collection clearance from
OMB.
II. Request for Comments
The IEED requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden (hours
and cost) of the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
