collection conducted under 25 U.S.C.
43, 36 Stat. 472, inter alia, and
implementing regulations, at 25 CFR
part 5, regarding verification of Indian
preference for employment. The
purpose of Indian preference is to
encourage qualified Indian persons to
seek employment with the BIA and the
Indian Health Service (IHS) by offering
preferential treatment to qualified
candidates of Indian heritage. The BIA
collects the information to ensure
compliance with Indian preference
hiring requirements. The information
collection relates only to individuals
applying for employment with the BIA
and/or IHS. The tribe’s involvement is
limited to verifying membership
information submitted by the applicant.
The collection of information allows
certain persons who are of Indian
descent to receive preference when
appointments are made to vacancies in
positions with the BIA and the IHS as
well as in any unit that has been
transferred intact from the BIA to a
Bureau or office within the Department
of the Interior or the Department of
Health and Human Services and that
continues to perform functions formerly
performed as part of the BIA and the
IHS. You are eligible for preference if (a)
you are a member of a federally
recognized Indian tribe; (b) you are a
descendent of a member and you were
residing within the present boundaries
of any Indian reservation on June 1,
1934; (c) you are an Alaska native; or (d)
you possess one-half degree Indian
blood derived from tribes that are
indigenous to the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection

reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On June 7, 2024, we published a
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of

no comments in response to that notice.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
OS–OEPC; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the OS–OEPC enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the OS–OEPC minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

part 1, 43 CFR part 45, and 50 CFR part
221, to implement section 241 of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EP Act),
Public Law 109–58, enacted on August
8, 2005. Section 241 of the EP Act added
a new section 33 to the Federal Power
Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 823d, that allowed
the license applicant or any other party
to the license proceeding to propose an
alternative to a condition or prescription
that one or more of the Departments
develop for inclusion in a hydropower
license issued by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) under
the FPA. This provision required that
the Department of Agriculture, the
Department of the Interior, and the
Department of Commerce collect the
information covered by 1094–0001.
Under FPA section 33, the Secretary
of the Department involved must accept
the proposed alternative if the Secretary
determines, based on substantial
evidence provided by a party to the
license proceeding or otherwise
available to the Secretary, (a) that the
alternative condition provides for the
adequate protection and utilization of
the reservation, or that the alternative
prescription will be no less protective
than the fishway initially proposed by
the Secretary, and (b) that the
alternative will either cost significantly
less to implement or result in improved
operation of the project works for
electricity production.
In order to make this determination,
the regulations require that all of the
following information be collected: (1) a
description of the alternative, in an
equivalent level of detail to the
Department’s preliminary condition or
prescription; (2) an explanation of how
the alternative: (i) if a condition, will
provide for the adequate protection and
utilization of the reservation; or (ii) if a
prescription, will be no less protective
than the fishway prescribed by the
bureau; (3) an explanation of how the
alternative, as compared to the
preliminary condition or prescription,
will: (i) cost significantly less to
implement; or (ii) result in improved
operation of the project works for
electricity production; (4) an
explanation of how the alternative or
revised alternative will affect: (i) energy
supply, distribution, cost, and use; (ii)
flood control; (iii) navigation; (iv) water
supply; (v) air quality; and (vi) other
aspects of environmental quality; and
(5) specific citations to any scientific
studies, literature, and other
documented information relied on to
support the proposal.
This notice of proposed renewal of an
existing information collection is being

Environmental Policy and Compliance,
