    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking renewal of the

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. A response is 
required to obtain and/or retain a benefit.

II. Request for Comments

    On June 30, 2015, BIA published a notice announcing the renewal of 
this information collection and provided a 60-day comment period in the

response to this notice.

of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will

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

of the information on the respondents.

has a valid OMB Control Number.
