Proposed Projects

    Title: ANA Project Impact Assessment Survey.
    OMB No.: 0970-0379
    Description: The information collected by the Project Impact 
Assessment Survey is needed for two main reasons: (1) To collect 
crucial information required to report on the Administration for Native 
Americans' (ANA) established Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA) measures, and (2) to properly abide by ANA's congressionally-
mandated statute (42 United States Code 2991 et seq.) found within the 
Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, which states that ANA 
will evaluate projects assisted through ANA grant dollars ``including 
evaluations that describe and measure the impact of such projects, 
their effectiveness in achieving stated goals, their impact on related 
programs, and their structure and mechanisms for delivery of 
services.'' The information collected with this survey will fulfill 
ANA's statutory requirement and will also serve as an important 
planning and performance tool for ANA.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments, Native American nonprofit 
organizations, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
