Approved with
changes and revised instruments consistent with ACF memos of
07/19/02, 07/30/02, and 07/31/02. ACF will provide information when

generalize from the case study, as selected respondents may not be
representative of Indian Tribes that do or do not receive PSSF
funding. Approval is for one year.
