This information collection is used to
process contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements for award by
the Bureau of Indian Affairs as authorized by Section 107 of the
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, as amended,
and as implemented in 25 CFR Part 900.
US Code:
25 USC 450f et seq Name of Law: Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act
The Departments made revisions
to collect accurate estimates by condensing the information
collection table, as the previous format was collecting duplicate
information. The Departments did their best to avoid duplicate
reporting, but many of the information collection items overlap.
Changes were made to the burden hours to reflect these changes,
which resulted in a decrease in the hourly burden. Also, IHS burden
hours are not included, which resulted in a decrease in the hourly
burden. IHS will be requesting its own OMB Control Number for the
information it collects.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
