Abstract: This information collection allows the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED) to solicit proposals for projects for building capacity for tribal energy resource development from Indian tribes whose lands are held in trust or restricted fee by the Federal government. IEED then provides funding in the form of Tribal Energy Development Capacity Program (TEDC) grantts. Indian tribes that would like to apply for a TEDC grant must submit an application.
