SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 

authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 

to provide grants to Indian tribes for 

energy development. See 25 U.S.C. 

3502. The Office of Indian Energy and 

Economic Development (IEED) 

administers and manages the Energy 

and Minerals Development Program 

(EMDP). Congress appropriates funds to 

EMDP on a year-to-year basis. When 

funding is available, IEED may solicit 

proposals for energy and mineral 

development projects from Indian tribes 

whose lands are held in trust or 

restricted fee by the Federal 

government. Tribes may use the 

contracting mechanism established by 

the Indian Self-Determination Act or 

may receive the grant money through 

adjustments to their funding from the 

Office of Self-Governance. See 25 U.S.C. 

450 et seq. The projects may be in the 

areas of exploration, assessment, 

development, feasibility, or market 

studies. Indian tribes that would like to 

apply for an EMDP grant must submit 

an application that includes certain 

information, and must assist IEED by 

providing information in support of any 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) analyses. A complete 

application must contain the following 

elements. 

• A current, signed tribal resolution 

that: (1) Authorizes the energy and 

mineral development project for the 

appropriate fiscal year; (2) describes 

the commodity or commodities to 

be studied; (3) states that the tribe 

is willing to consider developing 

any potential energy or mineral 

resources discovered; (4) describes 

how the tribe prefers to have the 

energy or mineral program 

conducted (i.e., through the sole 

utilization of IEED in-house 

professional staff, in conjunction 

with professional tribal staff, 

through private contractors, or 

through other appropriate means); 

and (5) states that the tribe will 

consider public release of 

information obtained from the 

energy and mineral development 

study upon request from IEED. 

• A proposal describing the planned 

activities and deliverable products 

that will be accomplished within 

the fiscal year for which funding is 

requested, including: 

Æ Overview, including the elements 

of the proposed study, reasons why 

the proposed study is needed, total 

requested funding, responsible 

parties for technical exaction and 

administration, and tribal point of 

contact for the project; 

Æ Technical summary of the project, 

including whether the request will 

begin a new study or continue a 

study and the duration of the study, 

a description of any known energy 

and/or mineral deposit, reference to 

any existing mineral exploration 

information, and a description of 

any environmental or cultural 

sensitive areas; 

Æ Project objective, goals and scope of 

work; 

Æ Deliverable products, such as 

technical data and maps; and 

Æ Resumes of key personnel. 

• A detailed budget estimate, including 

contracted personnel costs, travel 

estimates, data collection and 

analysis costs, and other expenses. 

The IEED requires this information to 

ensure that it provides funding only to 


Cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
6406 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2010 / Notices 

those projects that meet the goals of the 

EMDP and the purposes for which 

Congress provides the appropriations. 

Once a tribe has been accepted into 

the EMDP, the tribe must also submit 

quarterly reports, which are one- or twopage documents summarizing events, 

accomplishments, problems and/or 

results in executing the project. Each 

report is due two weeks after the end of 

the fiscal quarter. 

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

provides an opportunity for interested 

parties to comment on proposed 

information collection requests. The 

IEED is proceeding with this public 

comment period as the first step in 

obtaining an information collection 

clearance from OMB. Each clearance 

request contains (1) type of review, (2) 

title, (3) summary of the collection, (4) 

respondents, (5) frequency of collection, 

(6) reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

II. Request for Comments 

The IEED requests your comments on 

this collection concerning: (a) The 

necessity of this information collection 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden (hours 

and cost) of the collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways we could enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) ways we could 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the information on the respondents, 

such as through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or request, and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address or other 

personally identifiable information, be 

advised that your entire comment— 

including your personally identifiable 

information—may be made public at 

any time. While you may request that 

we withhold your personally 

identifiable information, we cannot 

guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Brief Description of Collection: Indian 

tribes that would like to apply for an 

EMDP grant must submit an application

which Congress provides the 

appropriation. Upon acceptance of an 

application, a tribe must then submit 

one- to two-page quarterly progress 

reports summarizing events, 

accomplishments, problems and/or 

results in executing the project.

of those applications each year.
