The Secretary, using the process described in subsection (d), shall develop a formula to determine the amount of an award under paragraph (1). Such formula shall take into account the populations of eligible entities whose rates of overdose deaths or suicide are substantially higher relative to the populations of other Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, Urban Indian organizations, or Native Hawaiian health organizations, as applicable. The Secretary shall— provide technical assistance to applicants and awardees under this section; and collect and evaluate information on the program carried out under this section.

For purposes of such rulemaking, the Indian Health Service shall be the lead agency for the Department. In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary shall adapt any negotiated rulemaking procedures to the unique context of the government-to-government relationship between the United States and Indian Tribes. The lack of promulgated regulations under this subsection shall not limit the effect or implementation of this section. An entity desiring an award under subsection
(b)shall submit an application to the Secretary at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such information as the Secretary may reasonably require.
