OIED anticipates award of 

approximately 10 to 15 grants under this 

announcement ranging in value from 

approximately $100,000 annually to 

$300,000 annually. IBIP awards will be 

for a three-year period of performance. 

OIED will use a competitive evaluation 

process based on criteria described in 

the Review and Selection Process 

section (see Section XII. Review and 

Selection Process, of this notice). 

III. Background 

On October 20, 2020, Congress 

enacted the Native American Business 

Incubators Program Act, Public Law 

116–174, codified at 25 U.S.C. 5801 et 

seq. In the Act, Congress established the 

Native American Business Incubators 

Program and required the Secretary of 

the Interior to promulgate regulations to 

implement the program. See 25 U.S.C. 

5804. 

The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary—Indian Affairs, through 

OIED, is soliciting proposals from 

eligible entities (as outlined in section 

IV of this notice) for grant funding to 

establish Indian Business Incubators 

that serve entrepreneurs with start-up 

and early-stage businesses who will 

provide products or services to Tribal 

reservation communities. The Indian 

Business Incubator will deliver a range 

of business services such as: 

Mentorships, networking, technical 

assistance, and access to investors. 

Further, Indian Business Incubators will 

promote collaboration, address 

challenges, and provide individually 

tailored services to overcome the 

obstacles that are unique to each 

participating business. 

The OIED, previously referred to as 

the Office of Indian Energy and 

Economic Development (IEED), 

administers this grant program through 

the DED funded under a non-recurring 

appropriation budget. Congress 

appropriates funds on a year-to-year 

basis. Thus, while IBIP projects may 

extend over several years, funding for 

successive years beyond the original 

period of performance depends on each 

fiscal year’s appropriations. 

The projects awarded are expected to 

be for a project period of 36 months, 

with an option of an additional 36 

months. The initial grant award will be 

for a 12-month budget period. The 

award continuation beyond each 12- 

month budget period will be subject to 

the availability of funds, satisfactory 

progress on the part of each recipient, 

and a determination that continued 

funding would be in the best interest of 

the Federal government. Neither the 

Department of the Interior (DOI) nor 

Indian Affairs will be held responsible 

for proposal or application preparation 

costs. Publication of this solicitation 

does not obligate DOI or Indian Affairs 

to award any specific grant or to obligate 

all or any part of available funds. 

IV. Eligibility for Funding 

The Secretary, through the OIED, will 

solicit proposals for an IBIP grant from 

eligible entities that are able to provide 

the physical workspace, equipment, and 

connectivity necessary for Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs to 

collaborate and conduct business on a

Native businesses and Native 

entrepreneurs under the IBIP, 

demonstrating that together they meet 

the requirements of 2 CFR 1187.13; and 

D The application must indicate 

which eligible entity will be the lead 

contact for the purposes of grant 

management. 

V. Requirements for an IBIP Proposal 

Applicants must provide a 

certification that they are eligible to 

receive an IBIP grant, as well as 

designate an executive director or 

program manager to manage the 

business incubator. Applicants must 

submit the necessary documents per 

Section X. Mandatory Components, of 

this notice. 

VI. Required Non-Federal 

Contributions 

Applicants must include a description 

of the non-Federal contributions, in an 

amount equal to not less than 25 percent 

of the grant amount requested, or submit 

a waiver request. OIED may waive the 

requirement for the non-Federal 

contribution, in whole or in part, for one 

or more years of the initial IBIP grant 

award if OIED determines that the 

waiver is appropriate based on: 

• The awardee’s ability to provide 

non-Federal contributions; 

• The quality of business incubation 

services; and 

• The likelihood that one or more 

reservation communities served by the 

awardee will not receive similar 

services elsewhere because of the 

remoteness or other reasons that inhibit 

the provision of business and 

entrepreneurial development services. 

In a non-competitive renewal, the 

Awardee must provide non-Federal 

contributions in an amount not less than 

33 percent of the total amount of the 

grant. Failure to provide the nonFederal contribution will result in 

noncompliance and OIED withholding 

of funds, unless OIED waives the 

requirement under 25 CFR 1187.43. 

Matching and cost-sharing 

requirements are discussed in 2 CFR 

200.306. The primary recipient is 

responsible for the full amount of the 

non-Federal match proposed, including 

any amount provided by one or more 

third parties as listed on the Standard 

Form 424, Application for Federal 

Assistance. Whereas the full match 

contribution does not need to be in 

hand as of the date of the application, 

the application must provide 

commitments for the non-Federal 

contribution through the term of the 

grant. Applicants may meet the required 

non-Federal cost share or match through 

in-kind contributions, which must be 

necessary and reasonable for 

accomplishing the proposed project 

objective(s). The applicant must 

describe and attribute fair and equitable 

market value (2 CFR 200.306) to any inkind match proposed in lieu of cash, 

which may include, but is not limited 

to: 

• Not paid from, or sourced, from 

other Federal funds, programs or grants; 

• Documented in project records and 

not be used as match in another grant; 

• An allowable cost under 2 CFR 200 

Subpart E—Cost Principles; 

• Must occur within the period of 

performance of the award; 

• Value of services and property 

donated as per 2 CFR 200.306, for 

instance; 

Æ Space as measured by the value of 

rent; 

Æ Materials and Equipment; 

Æ Donated Services and Technical 

Assistance; 

D Payroll or volunteer services from 

personnel working on the incubator 

who are not funded by IBIP, which must 

be well documented and supported per 

methods used for regular personnel 

costs; 

• Contribution from a third party(ies) 

per 2 CFR 200.434. A third party is any 

individual or organization other than 

the eligible applicant, such as a partner, 

that is not receiving grant funds; 

• Projected earnings through the term 

of the grant; 

VII. Applicant Procurement Procedures 

The applicant is subject to the 

procurement standards in 2 CFR 

200.318 through 200.326. In accordance 

with 2 CFR 200.318, an applicant must 

use its own documented procurement 

procedures which reflect Tribal laws 

and regulations, provided that the 

procurements conform to applicable 

Federal law and standards identified in 

title 2 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations.

other institutions and entities to provide 

comprehensive business incubation 

services to Native businesses and Native 

entrepreneurs participating in the 

business incubator, as well as for any 

other uses typically associated with 

business incubators that OIED

support and supervision of liaison(s). 

• Salary and Fringe Benefit costs that 

will be coordinated with OIED to ensure 

salary costs are reasonable and 

relatively consistent across the liaison 

network nationwide. 

• Travel costs should be itemized by 

airfare, vehicle rental, lodging, and per 

diem, based on the current Federal 

government per diem schedule. 

• Data collection and analysis costs 

should be itemized in sufficient detail 

for the OIED review committee to 

evaluate the charges.

proposed project. 

• Match requirements must also be 

documented, as outlined per Section VI. 

Required Non-Federal Contribution, of 

this notice. 

Annual Meetings: Applicants are 

required to attend annual IBIP meetings. 

Some of the meetings may be held in 

Washington, DC, and some of the 

meetings may be held in a regional 

location. For the annual meetings, 

grantees should have allocated 

sufficient grant funding in their 

proposed program budgets to cover 

travel, accommodation, and per diem 

expenses for two individuals for a 11⁄2

day meeting that will occur once each 

year. OIED may specify the individuals 

who will attend these meetings (e.g., 

Project Directors, Business Incubator 

participants). Additional funds for these 

expenses will not be available once 

grants are awarded. 

Commitment of Non-Federal 

Resources Description: Amounts of nonfederal resources that will be used to 

support the project as identified in 

Block 18 of the SF–424. This line 

should be used to indicate required and/ 

or voluntary committed cost sharing or 

matching, if applicable. 

For all federal awards: Any shared 

costs or matching funds and all 

contributions, including cash and thirdparty in-kind contributions, must be 

accepted as part of the recipient’s cost 

sharing, or matching when such 

contributions meet all of the criteria 

listed in 2 CFR 200.306. 

For awards that require matching or 

cost sharing by statute: Recipients will 

be held accountable for projected 

commitments of non-federal resources 

(at or above the statutory requirement) 

in their application budgets and budget 

justifications by budget period, or by 

project period for fully funded awards. 

A recipient’s failure to provide the 

statutorily required matching or cost 

sharing amount (and any voluntary 

committed amount in excess) may result 

in the disallowance of federal funds. 

Recipients will be required to report 

these funds in the Federal Financial 

Report. 

Justification: If an applicant is relying 

on cost share or match from a thirdparty, then a firm commitment of these 

resources (letter(s) or other 

documentation) is required to be 

submitted with the application. Detailed 

budget information must be provided 

for every funding source identified in 

Item 18. ‘‘Estimated Funding ($)’’ on the 

SF–424. 

Applicants are required to fully 

identify and document in their 

applications the specific costs or 

contributions they propose in order to 

meet a matching requirement. 

Applicants are also required to provide 

documentation in their applications on 

the sources of funding or 

contribution(s). In-kind contributions 

must be accompanied by a justification 

of how the stated valuation was 

determined. Matching or cost sharing 

must be documented by budget period 

(or by project period for fully funded 

award. 

Applications that lack the required 

supporting documentation will not be 

disqualified from competitive review; 

however, it may impact an application’s 

scoring under the evaluation criteria. 

Key Contacts [V2.0]: Applicants must 

include the Key Contacts information 

page that includes: 

• Lead Applicant contact information 

including address, email, desk, and cell 

phone number;

not be reviewed. If an application is not 

complete and the submission deadline 

has not passed, the applicant will be 

notified and given an opportunity to 

resubmit its application. 

The OIED Review Committee, 

comprised of OIED staff, staff from other 

Federal agencies, and subject matter 

experts, will evaluate the proposals 

against the ranking criteria per Section 

XIII. Evaluation Criteria, of this notice. 

Proposals will be evaluated with a 

maximum achievable total of 100 

points. 

Final award selections will be 

approved by the Assistant Secretary— 

Indian Affairs and the Associate Deputy 

Secretary, U.S. Department of the 

Interior. Applicants not selected for 

award will be notified in writing. 

XIII. Evaluation Criteria 

Proposals will be formally evaluated 

by an OIED review committee using 

criteria listed below. Each criterion 

provides a percentage of the total 

maximum rating of 100 points. Key 

criteria that will be considered in the 

review process include: 

• The ability of the eligible 

Applicant(s) to: 

Æ Operate a business incubator that 

effectively imparts entrepreneurship 

and business skills to Native businesses 

and Native entrepreneurs, as 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1

demonstrated by the experience and 

qualifications of the eligible applicant; 

Æ Commence providing services 

within three months; and 

Æ Provide quality incubation services 

to a significant number of Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs or 

provide such services at geographically 

remote locations where quality business 

guidance and counseling is difficult to 

obtain; 

• The experience of the eligible 

applicant in providing services in 

Native American communities, 

including in the one or more reservation 

communities described in the 

application; 

• The extent to which a grant award 

will enable an entity that is already 

providing business incubation services 

to appreciably enhance those services; 

and 

• The proposed location of the 

business incubator. 

Æ OIED will evaluated the location of 

the business incubator to: 

D Consider the program goal of 

achieving broad geographic distribution 

of business incubators; and 

D Give priority to eligible applicants 

that will provide business incubation 

services on or near the reservation of the 

one or more communities that were 

described in the application, except that 

OIED may give priority to an eligible 

applicant that is not located on or near 

the reservation of the one or more 

communities that were described in the 

application if OIED determines that: 

• The location of the business 

incubator will not prevent the eligible 

applicant from providing quality 

business incubation services to Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs 

from the one or more reservation 

communities to be served; and 

• Documenting that the business 

incubator in the identified location will 

serve the interests of the one or more 

reservation communities to be served. 

Æ OIED will conduct the site 

evaluation: 

• Before awarding a grant to an 

eligible applicant, OIED will conduct an 

evaluation of the proposed site to verify 

that the applicant has (or will have) the 

physical workspace, equipment, and 

connectivity necessary for Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs to 

collaborate and conduct business on a 

local, regional, national, and/or 

international level. 

• To determine whether the site 

meets the requirements of paragraph 

above: 

Æ If the applicant is in possession of 

the proposed site, OIED will conduct an 

on-site or virtual visit or review a video 

submission before awarding the grant. 

Æ If the applicant is not yet in 

possession of the proposed site and has 

submitted a written site proposal, OIED 

will review the written site proposal 

before awarding the grant and will 

conduct an on-site or virtual visit or 

review a video submission to ensure the 

site is consistent with the written site 

proposal no later than one year after 

awarding the grant. If OIED determines 

the site is not consistent with the 

written site proposal, OIED will use that 

information in determining the ongoing 

eligibility of the applicant under 

§ 1187.50. 

Business Incubator Operation 

Description: 25 Points. 

Description of Providing Services 

Within Three Months: 10 points. 

Description of Incubation Services to 

Entities and Locations: 25 points. 

Description of Reservation 

Community(ies) Served: 15 points. 

Location of Business Incubator: 10 

points. 

Budget Justification (Line Item Budget 

and Budget Narrative): 15 points. 

Business Incubator Operation 

Description: 25 Points. 

Points will be awarded based on the 

applicant’s description of how they will 

operate a business incubator that will 

effectively impart entrepreneurship and 

business skills to Native businesses and 

Native entrepreneurs, as demonstrated 

by the experience and qualifications of 

the eligible applicant. Milestone goals 

and objectives and outcomes of the 

project proposal should outline the 

success parameters and deliverables of 

the incubator through the term of the 

grant, see Section X. Mandatory 

Components, of this notice. 

Description of Providing Services Within 

Three Months: 10 Points 

The Applicant proposal must 

demonstrate the ability for the incubator 

to begin providing services within three 

months from the date of award. 

Description of Incubation Services to 

Entities and Locations: 25 Points 

Points will be awarded based on the 

Applicant’s ability to provide quality 

incubation services to a significant 

number of Native businesses and Native 

entrepreneurs or provide such services 

at geographically remote locations 

where quality business guidance and 

counseling are difficult to obtain. 

‘‘Significant’’ will be considered the 

relative quality incubation services 

provided to the number of Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs in 

the proposal to the overall amount of 

funding requested. Identified goal(s) of 

the anticipated number of Native 

businesses starting, and the anticipated 

number of Native businesses help 

maintaining. 

The Applicant will have broad 

discretion in determining what structure 

their competitive process will be in 

selecting participants into their 

incubator program. They will also 

determine appropriate curriculum, 

training and program completion 

requirements that determine participant 

‘‘graduation.’’ 

Description of Reservation 

Community(ies) Served: 15 Points 

The Applicant’s proposal must 

demonstrate experience in providing 

services in Native American 

communities. Applicants have 

flexibility in who they identify to serve, 

which must identify one or more 

reservation communities, regardless if 

the communities are near their own 

Tribe’s homelands. Applicant must 

demonstrate they are serving a diverse 

population and include justifications 

around socioeconomic factors and 

considerations related to size and 

location, often to geographically remote 

locations where quality business 

guidance and counseling is difficult to 

obtain. Applicants may see Regional 

and diverse market representation 

across Indian Country. 

Location of Business Incubator: 10 

Points 

Applicant must have a location 

secured that provides physical space to 

its participating businesses. Whereas the 

applicant does not have to be in 

possession of the proposed site at the 

time of application, it must be secured 

as soon as services are provided. 

Budget Justification (Line Item Budget 

and Budget Narrative): 15 Points 

Points will be awarded based on the 

reasonableness of the proposed IBIP 

project in view of the types and range 

of activities to be conducted and the 

expected outcomes and benefits. The 

application includes a strong plan for 

oversight of federally awarded funds 

and activities. In particular, the 

application describes the rules and 

procedures in place to ensure the 

prudent use, proper disbursement, and 

accurate accounting of funds. The 

budget includes expenses for travel and 

accommodation costs for two IBIP 

representatives to attend the 11⁄2 day 

IBIP annual meeting in Washington, DC, 

or another regional location. For the 

purpose of estimating travel expenses, 

the program can use the Washington, 

DC, area as the location for the regional 

location. If a virtual IBIP annual meeting 

is convened, grantees can reallocate 

their travel funds back to their budget.

XIV. Transfer of Funds 

OIED’s obligation under this 

solicitation is contingent on receipt of 

congressionally appropriated funds. No 

liability on the part of the U.S. 

Government for any payment may arise 

until funds are made available to the 

awarding officer for this grant and until 

the recipient receives notice of such 

availability, to be confirmed in writing 

by the grant officer. 

All payments under this agreement 

will be made by electronic funds 

transfer through the ASAP system. All 

award recipients are required to have a 

current and accurate UEI number to 

receive funds. All payments will be 

deposited to the banking information 

designated by the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs in the SAM. 

OIED will disburse grant funds 

awarded to eligible applicants in annual 

installments except that, OIED may 

make disbursements more frequently, 

on request by the applicant, as long as 

disbursements are not made more 

frequently than quarterly. IBIP grant 

awards may not be duplicative of 

existing Federal funding from another 

source that overlaps funding for the 

same activities described in the 

Applicant’s proposal. 

XV. Reporting Requirements for Award 

Recipients 

The applicant must deliver all 

products and data required by the 

signed Grant Agreement for the 

proposed IBIP grant to OIED within 30 

days of the end of each reporting period 

and 120 days after completion of the 

project. The reporting periods will be 

established in the terms and conditions 

of the final award. IBIP will require 

yearly cumulative financial reporting 

per a SF–425. IBIP will require annual 

Performance reporting, which will be 

used to conduct annual grantee 

evaluations towards renewal 

determinations, as well as final reports 

due at the end of the 3-year term. 

The Performance Report will include: 

• Not later than one year after the 

date OIED awards the grant, and then 

annually for the duration of the grant, 

the awardee must submit to OIED a 

report describing the services the 

awardee provided under the IBIP during 

the preceding year, including: 

Æ A detailed breakdown of the Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs 

receiving services from the business 

incubator, including, for the year 

covered by the report: 

D The number of Native businesses 

and Native entrepreneurs participating 

in or receiving services from the 

business incubator and the types of 

services provided to those Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs; 

D The number of Native businesses 

and Native entrepreneurs established 

and jobs created or maintained; and 

D The number of Native businesses 

and Native entrepreneurs maintained; 

and 

D The performance of Native 

businesses and Native entrepreneurs 

while participating in the business 

incubator and after graduation or 

departure from the business incubator; 

and 

Æ Any other information the 

Secretary may require to evaluate the 

performance of a business incubator to 

ensure appropriate implementation of 

the IBIP. 

• To the maximum extent practicable, 

OIED will not require an awardee to 

report the information listed above that 

the awardee provides to OIED under 

another program. 

• OIED will coordinate with the 

heads of other Federal agencies to 

ensure that, to the maximum extent 

practicable, the report content and form 

above are consistent with other 

reporting requirements for Federal 

programs that provide business and 

entrepreneurial assistance. 

Annual Evaluations will measure 

successful outcomes of the grant based 

on the identified milestones and 

outcomes from the incubator project 

application, as well as identified 

deliverables. OIED will measure 

performance of an awardee’s business 

incubator as it compares to the 

performance of other business 

incubators receiving grants under IBIP. 

The reporting function will not require 

detailed capital investments and 

revenue growth information, instead it 

will focus on the total number of Native 

businesses and entrepreneurs the 

incubator assists and their performance 

while participating and after graduation 

or departure from the incubator. 

OIED oversight reporting is tracking 

grant funding only, not incubator 

activities. Proper justification and use of 

grant funds in the application and 

through the term of the grant are 

required. Release of business and 

entrepreneur financial disclosures, that 

may deter participation in the program, 

will not be required. Equity created 

from the program should be reinvested 

back into the program by mentoring and 

sharing best practices with other 

businesses. 

OIED requires that deliverable 

products be provided in digital format 

and submitted in the GrantSolutions 

system. Reports can be provided in 

either Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat 

PDF format. Spreadsheet data can be 

provided in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft 

Access, or Adobe PDF formats. All 

vector figures should be converted to 

PDF format. Raster images can be 

provided in PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or any of 

the Windows metafile formats. The 

contract between the grantee and the 

consultant conducting the IBIP grant 

must include deliverable products and 

require that the products be prepared in 

the format described above. 

The contract should include budget 

amounts for all printed and digital 

copies to be delivered in accordance 

with the grant agreement. In addition, 

the contract must specify that all 

products generated by a consultant 

belong to the grantee and cannot be 

released to the public without the 

grantee’s written approval. Products 

include, but are not limited to, all 

reports and technical data obtained, 

maps, status reports, and the final 

report. 

In addition, this funding opportunity 

and financial assistance award must 

adhere to the following provisions in 

Section XVI Conflicts of Interest through 

Section XIX Authority. 

XVI. Conflicts of Interest 

Applicability 

• This section intends to ensure that 

non-Federal entities and their 

employees take appropriate steps to 

avoid conflicts of interest in their 

responsibilities under or with respect to 

Federal financial assistance agreements. 

• In the procurement of supplies, 

equipment, construction, and services 

by recipients and by sub-recipients, the 

conflict of interest provisions in 2 CFR 

200.318 apply. 

Requirements 

• Non-Federal entities must avoid 

prohibited conflicts of interest, 

including any significant financial 

interests that could cause a reasonable 

person to question the recipient’s ability 

to provide impartial, technically sound, 

and objective performance under or 

with respect to a Federal financial 

assistance agreement. 

• In addition to any other 

prohibitions that may apply with 

respect to conflicts of interest, no key 

official of an actual or proposed 

recipient or sub-recipient, who is 

substantially involved in the proposal or 

project, may have been a former Federal 

employee who, within the last one (1) 

year, participated personally and 

substantially in the evaluation, award, 

or administration of an award with 

respect to that recipient or sub-recipient 

or in development of the requirement 

leading to the funding announcement.

16488 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 23, 2022 / Notices 

• No actual or prospective recipient 

or sub-recipient may solicit, obtain, or 

use non-public information regarding 

the evaluation, award, administration of 

an award to that recipient or subrecipient or the development of a 

Federal financial assistance opportunity 

that may be of competitive interest to 

that recipient or sub-recipient. 

Notification 

• Non-Federal entities, including 

applicants for financial assistance 

awards, must disclose in writing any 

conflict of interest to the DOI awarding 

agency or pass-through entity in 

accordance with 2 CFR 200.112, 

Conflicts of Interest. 

• Recipients must establish internal 

controls that include, at a minimum, 

procedures to identify, disclose, and 

mitigate or eliminate identified conflicts 

of interest. The recipient is responsible 

for notifying the Financial Assistance 

Officer in writing of any conflicts of 

interest that may arise during the life of 

the award, including those that have 

been reported by sub-recipients. 

• Restrictions on Lobbying. NonFederal entities are strictly prohibited 

from using funds under this grant or 

cooperative agreement for lobbying 

activities and must provide the required 

certifications and disclosures pursuant 

to 43 CFR part 18 and 31 U.S.C. 1352. 

• Review Procedures. The Financial 

Assistance Officer will examine each 

conflict of interest disclosure on the 

basis of its particular facts and the 

nature of the proposed grant or 

cooperative agreement, and will 

determine whether a significant 

potential conflict exists and, if it does, 

develop an appropriate means for 

resolving it. 

• Enforcement. Failure to resolve 

conflicts of interest in a manner that 

satisfies the Government may be cause 

for termination of the award. Failure to 

make the required disclosures may 

result in any of the remedies described 

in 2 CFR 200.338, Remedies for 

Noncompliance, including suspension 

or debarment (see also 2 CFR part 180). 

Data Availability 

• Applicability. The Department of 

the Interior is committed to basing its 

decisions on the best available science 

and providing the American people 

with enough information to thoughtfully 

and substantively evaluate the data, 

methodology, and analysis used by the 

Department to inform its decisions.

publish, or otherwise use the data 

produced under a Federal award as well 

as authorize others to receive, 

reproduce, publish, or otherwise use 

such data for Federal purposes. 

• Availability of Data. The recipient 

shall make the data produced under this 

award and any subaward(s) available to 

the Government for public release, 

consistent with applicable law, to allow 

meaningful third-party evaluation and 

reproduction of the following: 

Æ The scientific data relied upon; 

Æ The analysis relied upon; and 

Æ The methodology, including 

models, used to gather and analyze data. 

XVII. Questions and Requests for OIED 

Assistance 

OIED staff may provide technical 

consultation, upon written request by an 

applicant. The request must clearly 

identify the type of assistance sought. 

Technical consultation does not include 

funding to prepare a grant proposal, 

grant writing assistance, or predeterminations as to the likelihood that 

a proposal will be awarded. The 

applicant is solely responsible for 

preparing its grant proposal. Technical 

consultation may include clarifying 

application requirements, confirming 

whether an applicant previously 

submitted the same or similar proposal, 

and registration information for SAM or 

ASAP. 

XVIII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection 

requirements contained in this notice 

have been reviewed and approved by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3504(h). The OMB 

control number is 4040–0004. The 

authorization expires on December 31, 

2022. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and Applicant is not required 

to respond to, any information 

collection that does not display a 

currently valid OMB Control Number. 

XIX. Authority 

This is a discretionary grant program 

authorized under the Native American 

Business Incubators Program Act, Public 

Law 116–174, codified at 25 U.S.C. 

5801. The IBIP, also known as the 

Native American Business Incubator’s 

Program, is a program in which OIED 

provides competitive grants to eligible 

applicants to establish and operate 

business incubators that serve Tribal 

reservation communities. Congress 

enacted the Native American Business 

Incubators Program and required the 

Secretary to promulgate regulations to 

implement the program, see 25 U.S.C. 

5804. The regulations are codified at 25 

CFR part 1187 and provide the 

framework for operation of the grant 

program so that there is certainty as to 

who is eligible for a grant, how eligible 

applicants can apply for a grant, how 

OED will evaluate, award and 

administer the grants, and what terms 

and conditions will apply to the grants. 

The Final Rule enabled OED to provide 

grants that will stimulate economic 

development in reservation 

communities.
