Miscellaneous Actions
The comment received from the Tribe (question 8) in response to the 60-day notices does have merit and the BIA is in agreement that applications may require more than 60-110 hours as previously estimated. Therefore, the BIA has increased the burden hours to 100 – 150. The BIA still retains technical assistance and will perform the completion of some documentation in order to accommodate such requests from the tribes. That, along with less complex issues and cases that have no change in land use, as well as the less stringent title evidence requirements. • Decrease to the number of respondents from 800 to 350 – Tribal application to take on-reservation land into trust: The BIA has been tracking the number of new applications on what is referred to as the BIA national spreadsheet, which is internal to BIA. The average number of respondents for the renewal of this information collection was calculated from the numbers reported for the last five years. The data reflects a decrease in the average of new applications. While this number reflects a decrease, BIA estimated the future expected applications on the high side of the average numbers. • Decrease of the number of respondents from 160 to 100 – Tribal application to take off-reservation land into trust: The BIA has been tracking the number of new applications on what is referred to as the BIA national spreadsheet, which is internal to BIA. The average number of respondents for the renewal of this information collection was calculated from the numbers reported for the last five years. The data reflects a decrease in the average of new applications. While this number reflects a decrease, BIA estimated the future expected applications on the high side of the average numbers. • Removed information collection for – Individual application to take off-reservation land into trust: Within 25 CFR 151.11 Off-reservation acquisitions – this section only speaks to Tribal request for the acquisition of lands into trust status. Individual Indians are only authorized by law to submit an application for the acquisition of lands into trust status for On-Reservation land; 25 CFR 151.10 On-Reservation acquisition.
