review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on February 17, 2022 during a 60-day comment period.

Needs and Uses: With this information collection, NTIA will monitor
grant recipients' spending and activities to ensure compliance with
TBCP requirements and program priorities. In the absence of collecting
this information, NTIA would fail to evaluate effectively the award
recipients' progress toward completing project activities and achieving
core purposes of the TBCP. Moreover, without these reports, NTIA would
lack the ability to monitor effectively the award recipients'
expenditure of funds to deter waste, fraud, and abuse of TBCP funds.
Therefore, it is necessary for NTIA to collect information using the
Baseline Report, Semi-Annual Reports, and Annual Report.
Affected Public: Grant award recipients consisting of Tribal
Governments, Tribal Colleges or Universities, the Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands on behalf of the Native Hawaiian Community,
including Native Hawaiian Education Programs, Tribal organizations, or
Alaska Native Corporations.

one-time collection of information from award recipients covering
project plans and details about key outputs and outcomes.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.

Title IX, Section 905(c), Public Law 116-260, 134 Stat. 1182 (Dec. 27,
2020).
