SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  *Description:*
                     The information in the OPR is collected on a semi-annual basis to monitor the performance of grantees and better gauge grantee progress. The OPR information collection is conducted in accordance with sec. 811 [42 U.S.C. 2992] of the Native American Programs Act and will allow ANA to report quantifiable results across all program areas. It also provides grantees with parameters for reporting their progress and helps ANA better monitor and determine the effectiveness of their projects. The OWP information collection is conducted in accordance with 42 U.S.C. of the Native American Programs Act of 1972, as amended. This collection is necessary to evaluate applications for financial assistance and determine the relative merits of the projects for which such assistance is requested, as set forth in sec. 806 [42 U.S.C. 2991-d 1](a)(1). The report was revised based on a review by ANA and feedback from grantees, which identified some data elements that could be eliminated and areas that could be clarified. *Respondents:*
