Indian or Alaska Native blood. When
applying for program services
authorized by these laws, an applicant
must provide acceptable documentation
to prove that he or she meets the
minimum required degree of Indian or
Alaska Native blood. Currently, the BIA
certifies an individual’s degree of Indian
or Alaska Native blood if the individual
can provide sufficient information to
prove his or her identity and prove his
or her descent from an Indian
ancestor(s) listed on historic documents
approved by the Secretary of the Interior
that include blood degree information.
To obtain the CDIB, the applicant must
fill out an application form and provide
supporting documents. BIA is seeking
renewal of OMB approval to collect the
information necessary to issue CDIBs.
One minor non-substantive change is
being made to the CDIB application
form, to clarify where the applicant
should submit the form.
II. Request for Comments
The BIA requests that you send your
comments on this collection to the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of the
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden (hours and cost) of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways we could enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. This information
collection expires July 31, 2011.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section

identifiable information, be advised that

III. Data
OMB Control Number: 1076–0153.
Title: Request for Certificate of Degree
of Indian or Alaska Native Blood.
Brief Description of Collection:
Submission of this information allows
BIA to verify the applicant’s Indian
ancestry and to determine the
applicant’s degree of Indian blood. The
applicant will provide information,
such as birth certificates, death
certificates, and probates to document
the applicant’s descent from an Indian
ancestor(s). Response to the information
collection is required to obtain a benefit.
BIA uses historic roll(s) or other
documents that list the ancestors’ name,
gender, date of birth, date of death,
blood degree and other identifying
information to verify the applicant’s
descent. After the information and
supporting documentation has been
verified, BIA will issue a CDIB to the
applicant. The applicant may use the
CDIB to help document their eligibility
for BIA programs and services. Other
agencies may also rely on a CDIB as
proof of eligibility for certain programs
and services. CDIBs do not establish
membership in an Indian tribe. A CDIB
is not an enrollment document.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents: Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 154,980 per
year, on average.
Total Number of Responses: 154,980
per year, on average.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
232,470 hours.
Estimated Cost Burden; $ 6,199,200.
Dated: July 20, 2011.

Affairs.
