SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 23, 2023, the Department published the NATRI NIA in the Federal Register (88 FR 33098).

Therefore, for clarity, as well as consistency with the competitive preference priority for Tribal lead applicants, we are correcting the list of eligible applicants in the NIA by adding TCUs.
