requests by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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 ANA established 
Government Performance and Results Act measures, and (2) to properly 
abide by ANA's congressionally mandated statute (42 U.S.C. 2992 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.
    Updates to this information collection address the Indian Community 
Economic Enhancement Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-261). It also addresses 
the flexibilities and assistance offered under COVID-19 recovery 
assistance.
    Respondents: Tribal Governments, Native American nonprofit 
organizations, and Tribal Colleges and Universities.
