Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Plan Guidance and 
Report Requirements.
    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. 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.

[[Page 64999]]

    Respondents: Federally recognized Indian Tribes and Tribal 
organizations that are NEW program grantees.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,474.
\*\ 79 grantees divided by 3 (because grantees submit the NEW plan once every 3 years) = 26.
\**\ We estimate that 48 of the 79 NEW grantees will not include their NEW programs in P.L. 102-477 projects and
  therefore will submit the NEW program report to HHS.
