    The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for 
public comment until July 15, 1999. This process is conducted in 
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.

    Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should 
address one or more of the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of response.
    The proposed collection is listed below:
    (1) Type of information collection. Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection. Trust '99.

information collected is used to determine applicant eligibility for 
the TRUST '99 Grant Program. The program could provide funding for

Communities '99 grant program. Funds to Tribal Communities is a grant 
which would fund salaries and benefits of new police officer, academy/
basic training, departmental/field training, supplemental community 
policing training, computer training, uniforms, and equipment for 
eligible federally recognized tribal communities.
