I. Abstract

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking renewal of the 
approval for the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part 
243, Reindeer in Alaska, which is used to monitor and regulate the 
possession and use of Alaskan reindeer by non-Natives in Alaska. The 
information to be provided includes an applicant's name and address, 
and where an applicant will keep the reindeer. The applicant must fill 
out an application for a permit to get a reindeer for any purpose, and 
is required to report on the status of reindeer annually or when a 
change occurs, including changes prior to the date of the annual 
report. This information collection utilizes four forms. This renewal 
request does not include any changes to the burden hours.

II. Request for Comments

    The BIA requests your comments on this collection concerning: (a) 
The necessity of this information collection for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of information, including 
the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways we could 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) Ways we could minimize the burden of the collection 
of the information on the respondents.
    Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an 
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it 
has a valid OMB Control Number.
    It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for 
review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before 
including your address, phone number, email address or other personally 
identifiable 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.
