SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

[[Page 58399]]
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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
January 5, 2023 (88 FR 879). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. 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. 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: The Land Title and Records Office (LTRO) maintains title
documents for land that the United States holds in trust or restricted
status for individual Indians or Tribes (Indian land), much like
counties and other localities maintain title documents for fee land
within their jurisdictions. Individuals or entities that are requesting
information regarding title documents--either for property they own or
for property they seek to lease or encumber--must provide certain
information to the LTRO in order for LTRO to accurately identify the
property for which they are seeking information. LTRO uses the
information provided by individuals or entities in order to identify
the property so that they can retrieve the appropriate title documents
and produce reports for that property. The collection of information is
found in Sec. 150.305, which provides that anyone requesting title
documents or reports must provide certain information, such as the name
of the reservation where the land is located and the tract number or
legal description.
Title of Collection: Requests for Indian Land Title and Records
Information.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0196.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, private sector,
government.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 36.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 36.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 0.5 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 19 hours (consisting
of 10 hours for private sector respondents, 3 hours for individual
respondents, and 6 hours for government respondents).
Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Once per year for applications; 4 times
per year for progress reports.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $500.
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
