    Title: Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Plan Guidance and 
Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Report.
    OMB No.: 0970-0174.
    Description: The Native Employment Works (NEW) program plan is the

application for NEW program funding. As approved by the Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS), it documents how the grantee will 
carry out its NEW program. The NEW program plan guidance provides 
instructions for preparing a NEW program plan and explains the process 
for plan submission every third year. There are two versions of this 
plan guidance: One for tribes that include their NEW program in a 
Public Law 102-477 project, and one for tribes that do not. The primary 
difference between the guidance documents is in the instructions for 
how to submit the plan. The NEW program report provides information on 
the activities and accomplishments of grantees' NEW programs. The NEW 
program report and instructions specify the program data that NEW 
grantees report annually.
    Respondents: Federally recognized Indian Tribes and Tribal 
organizations that are NEW program grantees.
