SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of the Interior, through BIE, 
may solicit grant proposals from federally recognized tribes and their 
tribal education departments (TEDs) for projects defined by 25 U.S.C. 
2020. These funds will support the program goals for the following 
areas to promote tribal education capacity building within Indian 
reservations to:
     Provide for the development and enforcement of tribal 
educational codes, including tribal educational policies and tribal 
standards applicable to curriculum, personnel, students, facilities, 
and support programs;
     Facilitate tribal control in all matters relating to the 
education of Indian children on reservations (and on former Indian 
reservations in Oklahoma); and
     Provide for the development of coordinated educational 
programs (including all preschool, elementary, secondary, and higher or 
vocational educational programs funded by tribal, Federal, or other 
sources) on reservations (and on former Indian reservations in 
Oklahoma) by encouraging administrative support of all BIE-funded 
educational programs and encouraging tribal cooperation and 
coordination with entities carrying out all educational programs 
receiving financial support from other Federal agencies, State 
agencies, or private entities.
    Grant awards will range from $25,000 to $150,000 per fiscal year 
depending on the number of projects, number of educational programs 
impacted, project design and expected outcomes. Subject to the 
availability of appropriated funds, a grant provided under 25 U.S.C. 
2020 shall be provided for a period of three years. If the performance 
of a grant recipient is satisfactory to the Secretary, the grant may be 
renewed for an additional two-year term. As defined by 25 U.S.C. 2020, 
top priority will be given to proposals that meet the following:
     Serve three or more separate BIE-funded schools;
     Provide coordinating services and technical assistance to 
all relevant BIE-funded schools;
     Plan to monitor and audit grant funds by or through the 
TED; and/or
     Provide a plan and schedule that:
    [cir] Provides for:
    [ssquf] The assumption, by the TED, of all assets and functions of 
the BIE agency office associated with the tribe, to the extent the 
assets and functions relate to education; and
    [ssquf] the termination by BIE of such functions and office at the 
time of such assumption; and
    [cir] provides that the assumption will occur over the term of the 
grant, unless mutually agreeable to the tribal governing body and the 
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs, the period in which such 
assumption is to occur may be modified, reduced, or extended after the 
initial year of the grant.
    BIE is seeking proposals from tribes that support the development 
of TEDs to improve educational outcomes for students and improve 
efficiencies and effectiveness in the operation of BIE-funded schools. 
Each proposal must include a project narrative, a budget narrative, and 
a work plan outline. Grant recipients must submit quarterly budget 
updates and an annual report at the end of each project year to ensure 
that the TED fulfills the obligations of the grant. Complete details on 
requirements for proposals and the evaluation and selection process can 
be found on the BIE Web site at the address in the ADDRESSES section of 
this notice. In addition, BIE will hold pre-grant proposal training at 
several sites:
