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

[[Page 36962]]

impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the 
public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our 
information collection requirements and provides the requested data in 
the desired format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
April 9, 2018 (83 FR 15171). No comments were received.
    We are again 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 AS-IA; (2) will this information be processed 
and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 
(4) how might the AS-IA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (5) how might the AS-IA 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. 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: Submission of this information allows the Office of 
Federal Acknowledgment (OFA), within the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary-Indian Affairs, to review groups' documented petitions for 
the Federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe. The acknowledgment 
regulations at 25 CFR 83 contain seven criteria that unrecognized 
groups seeking Federal acknowledgment as Indian tribes must demonstrate 
that they meet. Information collected from petitioning groups under 
these regulations provide anthropological, genealogical and historical 
data used by the AS-IA to establish whether a petitioning group has the 
characteristics necessary to be acknowledged as a continuously existing 
Indian tribe. Federal acknowledgment establishes a government-to-
government relationship with the United States. Respondents are not 
required to retain copies of the information submitted to OFA but will 
probably maintain copies for their own use; therefore, there is no 
recordkeeping requirement included in this information collection.
    Title of Collection: Documented Petitions for Federal 
Acknowledgment as an Indian Tribe.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0104.
    Form Number: BIA-8304, BIA-8305, and BIA-8306.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Groups petitioning for Federal 
acknowledgment as Indian Tribes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 10.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 1,436 hours, on average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 14,360, on average.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $21,000,000.
    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).

Elizabeth K. Appel,
Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs and Collaborative Action--Indian 
Affairs.
