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 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. Comments were received in
response to the Federal Register notice
(76 FR 71600) which did not address the
information collection; therefore, we
have not changed the collection. This
renewal does include changes to the
burden hours, reducing the number of
respondents from 21 to 18. In addition,
we have changed the number of forms
associated with this collection from two
to four to accurately reflect the forms
being used to collect this information.
The BIA requests that you send your
comments on this collection to the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of the
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of our 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,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. Approval for this
collection expires March 30, 2012.
Response to the information collection
is required to obtain a benefit.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section
during the hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m.,
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday
except for legal holidays. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address or other personally
identifiable information, be advised that
