SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is currently in the process of
revising the regulations governing the Indian Reservations Roads (IRR)
program. The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on
December 19, 2014 (79 FR 76192), which will update the Indian
Reservation Roads program to the Tribal Transportation Program. The
request for extension for this information collection request do not
include the suggestions and feedback on the proposed regulations, but
instead will allow current participants to submit information required
under the current regulations, pending the finalization and effective
date of any revisions. For this reason, the BIA is requesting an
extension without change of the approval for the information collection
conducted under 25 CFR part 170.
This collection allows Federally recognized tribal governments to
participate in the Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) program as defined in
25 U.S.C. 202. The information collection determines the allocation of
the IRR program funds to Indian tribes as described in 25 U.S.C.
202(b).
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. 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.
