The Bureau of Indian Affairs solicits comments in order to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the bureau,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the bureau'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.
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove the information
collection but may respond after 30 days; therefore, comments submitted
within 30 days are more assured of receiving maximum consideration.
Please note that comments, names and addresses of commentors are
