The Act also establishes the Indian Business Development program to provide equity capital through nonreimbursable grants to Indian-owned economic enterprises. Proposed regulations for the Act are being published, and comments can be submitted within 30 days. Loans will only be made when there is a reasonable chance of payment, and grants will only be given if they contribute to the economy of a reservation.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
