I. Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking renewal of the
approval for the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part
243, Reindeer in Alaska, which is used to monitor and regulate the
possession and use of Alaskan reindeer by non-Natives in Alaska. The
information to be provided includes an applicant's name and address,
and where an applicant will keep the reindeer. The applicant must fill
out an application for a permit to get a reindeer for any purpose, and
is required to report on the status of reindeer annually or when a
change occurs, including changes prior to the date of the annual
report. This information collection utilizes four forms. This renewal
request does not include any changes to the burden hours.
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
has 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 personally
identifiable 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.
