Abstract: The NEW program plan guidance specifies the information needed to complete a NEW program plan and explains the process for plan submission every third year. The program plan is the application for NEW program funding. As approved by HHS, the plan documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW program. The NEW program report and instructions specify the program data that NEW grantees report annually. The program report provides HHS, Congress, and grantees information to document the activities and accomplishments of the NEW program and to assess the success of the NEW program in meeting its goals. HHS needs the information in the program plan and the program report to fulfill statutory and regulatory requirements. The respondents are federally-recognized Indian tribes and tribal organizations that are NEW program grantees.
