I. Abstract

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking to renew the

20 to eligible Indians when comparable financial assistance or social 
services either are not available or not provided by State, tribal, 
county, local, or other Federal agencies. Approval for this collection 
expires June 30, 2017. The information collection allows BIA to 
determine whether an individual is eligible for assistance and 
services. No third party notification or public disclosure burden is 
associated with this collection.

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 personal 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your
