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 Section 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: Federally and state recognized tribes, Native Pacific 
Islanders, Tribal Colleges and Universities, native non-profits, and 
consortia.
