Title: Department of the Interior,
Office of the Assistant Secretary—
Indian Affairs, American Indian
Population and Labor Force Report.
Brief Description of Collection: Public
Law 102–477, the Indian Employment,
Training, and Related Services
Demonstration Act of 1992, mandates
the Secretary to publish, not less than
biennially, a report on the American
Indian and Alaska Native population
eligible for services by gender, income
level, age, and availability for work. The
process for collecting data has included
the use of a paper data submission form
with written instructions to be filled out
by tribes and then certified at the tribal,
agency, and regional level. The BIA
believes that many of the reporting
issues may be the result of

misunderstanding of how to fill out this
data submission form. The Office of
Indian Energy and Economic
Development has examined the data
collection process and is hoping to
address a truer depiction of tribal
enrollment and BIA service population
in Indian Country.
The Office of Indian Energy and
Economic Development consulted with
5 of the 562 federally recognized tribal
entities, ranging in membership less
than 5,000 members to more than
250,000 members. The estimated time it
took each tribe to respond to the
biennial report was between one hour
and four days, depending on the
resources of the tribal government. It
will take tribal representatives an
estimated eight hours to complete the
survey.
Number of Respondents: 562.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Reponses: Biennially.
Total Annual Burden to Respondents:
5,000 hours biennially.
Total Annual Cost to Respondents:
N/A.
Dated: September 5, 2008.
