Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This program change implements a U.S. District Court decision holding that the Department has the statutory authority to take Alaska land into trust for Alaska Natives outside of Metlakatla subsequent to the enactment of Alaska Native Claim Settlement Act, and vacating the provision of the regulations prohibiting the Department from taking Alaska land into trust. We came to this estimate based on our experience that, with approximately 60% of all tribes in the 48 states, approximately 150 off-reservation applications are submitted each year. The program change would allow the remaining 40% of tribes the opportunity to submit applications, so we increased our estimate of off-reservation applications by 40%.
