[[Page 23005]]

Hopi Indian Relocation Amendments Act of 1980, 94 Stat. 929, and the 
Federal court decisions of Healing v. Jones, 174 F. Supp.211 (D Ariz. 
1959) (Healing I), Healing v. Jones, 210 F. Supp. 126 (D. Ariz. 1962),

Supp. 1217 (D. Ariz. 1982), and Hopi Tribe v. Watt, 719 F.2d 314(9th 
Cir. 1983).
    This information collection allows BIA to receive the information 
necessary to determine whether an applicant to obtain, modify, or 
assign a grazing permit on Navajo Partitioned Lands is eligible and 
complies with all applicable grazing permit requirements. BIA, in 
coordination with the Navajo Nation, will continue to collect grazing 
permit information up to and beyond the initial reissuing of the 
grazing permits, likely within a 1-3 year time period from the date of 
publication of this notice. The data is collected by electronic global 
positioning systems and field office interviews by BIA & Navajo Nation 
staff. The data is maintained by BIA's Navajo Partitioned Lands office. 
The burden hours for this continued collection of information are 
reflected in the Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden in this notice.

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
