SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

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.

    This information collection allows BIA to receive the information 
necessary to determine whether an applicant to obtain, modify, or 
assign a grazing permit on Navajo Partitioned Lands is eligible and 
complies with all applicable grazing permit requirements. BIA, in 
coordination with the Navajo Nation, will continue to collect grazing 
permit information up to and beyond the initial reissuing of the 
grazing permits, likely within a 1-3 year time period from the date of 
publication of this notice. The data is collected by electronic global 
positioning systems and field office interviews by BIA & Navajo Nation 
staff. The data is maintained by BIA's Navajo Partitioned Lands office. 
The burden hours for this continued collection of information are 
reflected in the Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden in this notice.
