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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The BIA added space for the applicants’ contact information to Form 5-5524 based on the permittee comments. Information concerning mortgage holders and non-permit grazing lands is needed for the BIA to prevent individuals from obtaining allotted grazing privileges when they are not bona fide, tribal-member livestock operators. A new Authority to Grant Grazing Privileges (Form 5-5525) is needed only when a change in the beneficial owner of a parcel occurs. Other increases and decreases in burden estimates occurred due to interest in grazing privileges, increased program accuracy due to technology and Departmental initiatives, and changes in respondent activity.
