SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization
Act of June 18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 465) and
the Indian Land Consolidation Act of
January 12, 1983 (25 U.S.C. 2202)
authorize the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary), in his/her discretion, to
acquire lands through purchase,
relinquishment, gift, exchange, or
assignment within or without existing
reservations for the purpose of
providing land for Indian Tribes. Other
specific laws also authorize the
Secretary to acquire lands for individual
Indians and Tribes. Regulations
implementing the acquisition authority
are at 25 CFR 151. In order for the
Secretary to acquire land on behalf of
individual Indians and Tribes, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) must
collect certain information to identify
the party(ies) involved and to describe
the land in question. The Secretary also
solicits additional information deemed
necessary to make a determination to
accept or reject an application to take
land into trust for the individual Indian
or Tribe, as set out in 25 CFR 151.
This information collection allows the
BIA to review applications for
compliance with regulatory and
statutory requirements. No specific form
is used. The burden hours for this
continued collection of information are
reflected in the Estimated Total Annual
Hour Burden in this notice.
II. Request for Comments
The BIA requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the
agency’s 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.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
