Abstract: This previously approved information collection project was published in the Federal Register (78 FR 15035), as a joint submission with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), under OMB Control Number 1076-0136, on March 8, 2013 and allowed 60 days for public comment, as required by 3506(c)(2)(A). In the past, BIA was the lead for this ICR, and submitted the request on behalf of both BIA and IHS to the Department. As of May 2013, the IHS is pursuing its own OMB Control Number for this information collection and will submit information collection requests to OMB separately in the future. Representatives of the IHS seek renewal of the approval for information collections conducted under 25 C.F.R Part 900, implementing the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), as amended (25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.), which describes how contracts are awarded to Indian Tribes. The rule at 25 C.F.R. Part 900 was developed through negotiated rulemaking with Tribes in 1996 and governs, among other things, what must be included in a Tribe's initial ISDEAA contract proposal to IHS. A response is required to obtain and retain a benefit. Under the Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed to enter into self-determination contracts with Tribes upon request, unless specific declination criteria apply, and, generally, Tribes may renew these contracts annually. Additionally, IHS awards contracts for multiple programs. The IHS uses the information collected to determine applicant eligibility, evaluate applicant capabilities, protect the service population, safeguard Federal funds and other resources, and permit the Federal agency to administer and evaluate contract programs. Tribal governments or Tribal organizations provide the information by submitting contract proposals, and related information, to the IHS, as required under Public Law 93-638.
