Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Administration for Native Americans (ANA) On-Going Progress Report 
(OPR) and Objective Work Plan (OWP).
    OMB No.: 0970-0452.
    Description: Content changes are being made to the Objective 
Progress Report, now known as the On-going Progress Report (OPR) 
previously approved under information collection (OMB No. 0980-0204. 
ANA reduced and renumbered the OPR questions to allow for the 
collection of information necessary for the ongoing monitoring of 
grantee progress and performance of their grant award. The majority of 
information requested from the grantees is less than previous OPR 
versions and includes edits for clarification and simplification 
purposes.
    The information in the OPR is collected on a semi-annual basis to 
monitor the performance of grantees and better gauge grantee progress. 
The semi-annual data collection replaces the previous quarterly filing 
requirement of the OPR.
    The Objective Work Plan 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. 2991d-1](a)(1).
    The Ongoing Progress Report 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.
