collections of information. We are

performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

Abstract: The BIA owns, operates, and
maintains irrigation projects that
provide a service to the end user. To
properly bill for the services provided,
the BIA must collect customer
information to identify the individual
responsible for repaying the government
the costs of delivering the service;
determine eligibility for waiver of fees;
and determine designation of irrigable
lands as assessable or non-assessable.
Additional information necessary for
providing the service is the location of
the service delivery, and the number of
serviced acres. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA)
requires that certain information be
collected from individuals and
businesses doing business with the
government. This information includes
the taxpayer identification number for
possible future use to recover
delinquent debt. To implement the
