implements the Navajo-Hopi Indian Relocation Amendments Act of 1980, 94 
Stat. 929, codified as 25 U.S.C. 640d-640d-31, 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), aff'd 363 U.S.

manage Indian agricultural lands in a manner consistent with trust 
responsivities and with identified Tribal goals and priorities for

assign a grazing permit on Navajo Partitioned Lands is eligible and 
complies with all applicable grazing permit requirements. BIA, in

of information are reflected in the Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden 
in this notice.
