SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Regulations, 43 CFR Part 10.
Bureau Form Number: None.
OMB Control Number: 1024-0144.
Current Expiration Date: August 31, 2009.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of
information that was reinstated in February 2009 based on an emergency
submission to OMB.
Description of Need: The Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), requires museums to compile certain
information (summaries, inventories, and notices) regarding Native
American cultural items in their possession or control and provide that
information to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian tribes
and Native Hawaiian organizations, and the National Park Service
(acting on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior).
Description of respondents: Museums, defined in NAGPRA as any
institution that receives Federal funds and has possession of or
control over Native American cultural items.
Estimated average number of respondents: To date, 1,202 museums
have completed summaries, inventories, or notices. NPS estimates about
50 new submissions or revision of previous submissions each year.
Estimated average burden hours per response: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information is expected to average 100
hours for the exchange of summary/inventory information between a
museum or Federal agency and an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization and six hours per response for the notification to the
Secretary, including time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collected information.
Frequency of Response: Information collection requirements are done
on an as-needed basis, with summaries due within six months of either
receipt of a new collection or acknowledgement of a new Indian tribe,
and inventories due within two years of either receipt of a new
collection or acknowledgement of a new Indian tribe. An institution
receiving Federal funds for the first time must provide a summary
within three years and an inventory within five years.
Estimated total annual reporting burden: 5,224 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) the practical utility of the
information being gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden hour
estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden hour
to respondents, including use of automated information techniques or
other forms of information technology.
