Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Administration for Native Americans Annual Data Collection 
(Annual Data Report).
    OMB No.: New collection.
    Description: Content and formatting changes are being made to the 
Objective Progress Report (OPR). Content changes are being made to the 
OPR, now known as the Annual Data Report (ADR) previously approved 
under information collection OMB No. 0980-0204. ANA has determined that 
the requirement for ANA grantees to submit information about the 
project activities on quarterly basis creates undue burden for 
Grantees. Therefore, ANA has reformatted the OPR to require Grantees 
submit an annual report instead of quarterly report when reporting on 
partnerships, youth and elder engagement, impact indicators, community 
involvement etc. This will reduce the administrative burden on 
Grantees, especially the smaller organizations. The majority of content 
being requested from the grantees essentially remain same except for 
the frequency of reporting. The other sections of the document with 
reference to ``quarterly'' information will be changed to reflect the 
shift from four-times a year reporting requirement to once per year and 
once at the end of the project period.
    Respondents: Tribal Government, Native non-profit organizations, 
Tribal Colleges & Universities receiving ANA funding.
