Tribal Energy and Environmental Information Clearinghouse
The Energy and Mineral Development Program (EMDP) provides funding to tribes with the mission goal of assessing, evaluating, and promoting energy and mineral resources on Indian trust lands for the economic benefit of Indian mineral owners. To achieve these goals, the Department of the Interior’s Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED), through its Division of Energy and Mineral Development (DEMD) office, is soliciting proposals from tribes. The Department will use a competitive evaluation process to select several proposed projects to receive an award.

About the TEEIC
The TEEIC Web site (http://teeic.anl.gov) provides information about the environmental effects of energy development on tribal lands.
The site includes information about energy resource development and associated environmental impacts and mitigation measures; guidance for conducting site-specific environmental assessments and developing monitoring programs; information about applicable federal laws and regulations; and federal and tribal points of contact.
The U.S. Department of the Interior is funding the development of the TEEIC through the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs’ Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development.
