SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: There are no changes proposed to the OPR or OWP.
    The OPR information collection is conducted in accordance with 
section 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 information in the OPR is collected on a semi-annual 
basis to monitor the performance of grantees and better gauge grantee 
progress.
    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 information in the OWP is collected at time of 
application to detail the project goal, objectives, activities, and 
outputs.
    Respondents:
    Federally and state recognized tribes, Native Pacific Islanders, 
Tribal colleges and universities, Native non-profits, and consortia.
