collection with revisions.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
June 8, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to the Robin M. Phillips, Superintendent, Osage Agency, 
P.O. Box 1539, Pawhuska, OK 74056 or by email to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information

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: Congress passed legislation specifically addressing oil 
and gas leasing on Osage lands and requiring Secretarial approval of 
leases. See 34

[[Page 15174]]

Stat. 543, section 3, as amended. The regulations art 25 CFR 226 
implement that statute by specifying what information a lessee must 
provide related to drilling, development, and production of oil and gas 
on Osage reservation land. The oil, gas, and land are assets that the 
United States holds in trust or restricted status for Indian 
beneficiaries. The information collections in 25 CFR 226 are necessary 
to ensure that the beneficial owners of the mineral rights are provided 
the royalties due them, ensure that the oil and gas trust assets are 
protected, and to ensure that the surface estate assets are protected.
    Title of Collection: Leasing of Osage Reservation lands for Oil and 
Gas Mining.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0180.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individual Indians, businesses, and 
Tribal authorities.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 965.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 14,436.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 15 minutes to 
eight hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 21,954.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Varies from yearly to monthly.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $496.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

    Dated: April 3, 2018.
