SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: Section 677 of the CSBG Act requires Indian tribes or 
tribal organizations to submit an application and plan (CSBG Model 
Tribal Plan). The CSBG Model Tribal Plan must meet statutory 
requirements prior to OCS awarding CSBG tribal grant recipients with 
CSBG funds. Tribal grant recipients have the option to submit a 
detailed plan annually or biannually. Tribal grant recipients that 
submit a biannual plan must provide an abbreviated plan the following 
year if substantial changes to the initial plan will occur. The CSBG 
Model Tribal Plan has been used in previous years without OMB approval. 
To come into compliance with the PRA, ACF is submitting the CSBG Model 
Tribal Plan as a new request to OMB.
    Respondents: Tribal grant recipients (tribes and tribal 
organizations)
