DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
January 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to Ms. Evangeline Campbell, Chief, Division of Human

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Ms. Evangeline Campbell, (202) 513-7621.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying 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.
    Abstract: The BIA is seeking to renew the information collection 
conducted under 25 CFR 23, related to the Indian Child Welfare Act 
(ICWA). BIA collects information using a consolidated caseload form, 
which tribal ICWA program directors fill out. BIA uses the information 
to determine the extent of service needs in local Indian communities, 
assess ICWA program effectiveness, and provide date for the annual 
program budget justification. The aggregated report is not considered 
confidential.
    This form must completed by tribes that operate child protection 
programs.
