SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand our information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
[[Page 41349]]
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: Enrollment data is an important source of information
which allows the Indian Affairs and other Federal agencies to equitably
distribute resources because it is a quantifiable representation of a
Tribe's population. Different population sizes generally require
different levels of services and resources. BIA must collect this
information to ensure effective, accurate, and timely distribution of
assistance to respond to funds specifically appropriated for Indian
Country, where applicable. This data may assist Federal agencies in
developing distribution formulas for funds provided under the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act as well as for use in
distribution of resources for such programs as the Department of
Energy's Energy Efficient and Conservation Block Grant or the
Department of Treasury's Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Specifically, enrollment data will be a data source to assist Indian
Affairs' allocation of supplemental appropriations by the Congress such
as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The authority for this
information collection is 25 U.S.C. 2.
Title of Collection: Tribal Enrollment Count.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0197.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federally recognized Indian Tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 574 per year.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 574 per year.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 1 hour.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 574 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Steven Mullen,
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Regulatory Affairs
and Collaborative Action--Indian Affairs.
