appropriate for the agency to determine
whether the allegations should be
accepted for investigation, dismissed
due to procedural grounds, or partially
accepted and partially dismissed.
Complainants are provided a Privacy
Act statement noting the purposes and
uses of the information collected. No
assurance of confidentiality is provided,
because the collection is governed by
EEOC Management Directive 110, which
provides that ‘‘Once the complaint is
filed, the complaint file, or part of it,
may be shared only with those who are
involved and need access to it. This
includes the EEO Director, agency EEO
officials, and possibly persons whom
the aggrieved person has identified as
being responsible for the actions that
gave rise to the complaint. The
complaint file is not a public document
to be released outside the EEO
complaint process. The identity of the
aggrieved person does not remain
confidential in the formal complaint
process.’’ EEOC Management Directive
110 provides that aggrieved persons be
so informed by an EEO counselor prior
to the initiation of a formal complaint.
There is a decrease in burden. The
previous approval documentation
mistakenly included the burden for
Federal Employees. This error has been
corrected, resulting in the reporting of a
reduced annual burden.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

Notice of Final Determination for the
Sharing of Formula Area Data as the
Result of Expansion of Formula Area
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice advises the public
of HUD’s final determination to approve
a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between the Kalispel Indian Community
(KIC), Colville Indian Housing
Authority (CIHA) and Spokane Indian
Housing Authority (SIHA) to allocate
Needs data under the Indian Housing
Block Grant (IHBG) program. This MOA
resulted from HUD’s decision to include
the balance of Pend Oreille, Spokane
and Stevens counties in the state of
Washington into the Formula Area of
the KIC, creating overlapping Formula
Areas for the KIC, CHIA and SIHA.
Consistent with IHBG program
regulations HUD is announcing its final
determination to approve the MOA.
DATES: Effective Date: August 2, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Management, Office of Native American
Programs, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street

number via TTY by calling the toll-free

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
program allocation formula is
authorized by section 302 of the Native
American Housing Assistance and Self
Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C.
4101 et seq.) (NAHASDA). In
accordance with program regulations at
24 CFR part 1000, funds appropriated

by Congress for the IHBG program are
made to eligible grant recipients by
formula to ensure the equitable and fair
distribution of funds. The formula has
four components including Need. Need
is calculated using the seven factors
listed at 24 CFR 1000.324, each based
on a tribe’s formula area. Should a
tribe’s formula area overlap with one or
more other Indian tribes, 24 CFR
1000.326 provides the procedure HUD
will use to resolve issue.
On October 22, 2020, HUD informed
the KIC, CHIA and SIHA of its
preliminary decision to increase the
formula area of the KIC to include the
balance of Pend Oreille, Spokane and
Stevens counties in the state of
Washington. HUD’s preliminary
decision was based on the Department
of the Interior’s Near Reservation Area
Designation (44 FR 154, August 8,
1979). As a result of this decision
overlapping formula areas were created
for the KIC, CHIA and SIHA.
Whenever tribes have overlapping
formula area, the Needs data for all the
individual areas for all tribes are
combined and then apportioned among
the tribes in the overlap. Section
1000.326(b) provides that tribes affected
may develop their own method of
partitioning the Needs data associated
with their overlapping geographies.
Consistent with 24 CFR 1000.302, HUD
is required to notify the affected Indian
tribes by certified mail and provided the
tribes with opportunity to comment for
a period of not less than 90 days. HUD
met this requirement with its October
22, 2020, letter to the KIC, SIHA and
CIHA.
By letter dated December 3, 2020, KIC
transmitted a MOA dated November 3,
2020, and signed by KIC, CIHA, and
SIHA that outlined an alternative
method of sharing data. The MOA
provides that the KIC and SIHA will
receive double their Tribal enrollment
as their proportional share of the Needs
component and the CIHA will receive as
its proportional share, the remaining
Needs portion. The formula area to be
shared consists of the Reservation and
trust lands of the three Tribes plus the
balance of Douglas, Ferry, Lincoln,
Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, and
Stevens counties, all in the State of
Washington. Finally, the MOA states
that the agreement covers the period FY
2021 through FY 2025 unless it is
terminated by any of the Tribes or
extended by agreement of all Tribes.
Absent any further notification from the
Tribes, HUD will share Needs associated
with the geographies listed above based
on the method and time-period outlined
in the MOA. HUD will resume
allocating such Needs data based on

Consistent with 24 CFR 1000.302,
HUD must consider all comments on its
preliminary determination and publish
the notice of final determination in the
Federal Register. Consequently, this
notice provides final determination that
HUD is accepting the Tribe’s MOA.
