Office of Indian Energy and Economic
Development (IEED) may solicit
proposals for projects for building
capacity for Tribal energy resource
development on Indian land from Tribal
energy resource development
organizations and 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

alienation; and land owned by an
Alaska Native regional or village
corporation.
Those who would like to submit a

• A formal signed resolution of the
governing body of the Tribe or Tribal
energy resource development
organization demonstrating authority to
apply;
• 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 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.
