    Title of Collection: Native American Career and Technical Education 
Program (NACTEP) Performance Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 1830-0573.
    Type of Review: an extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 30.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,200.
    Abstract: The Native American Career and Technical Education 
Program (NACTEP) is requesting approval to collect semi-annual, annual/
continuation reports, and final performance reports from currently 
funded NACTEP grantees. This information is necessary to (1) manage and 
monitor the current NACTEP grantees, and (2) award continuation grants 
for years four and five of the grantees' performance periods. The 
continuation performance reports will include budgets, performance/
statistical reports, GPRA reports, and evaluation reports. The data, 
collected from the performance reports, will be used to determine if 
the grantees successfully met their project goals and objectives, so 
that NACTEP staff can award continuation grants. Final performance 
reports are required to determine whether or not the grant can be 
closed out in compliance with the grant's requirements.
