This is a new request for
information collection approval, associated with updating the
regulations. While this information has been collected in the past,
the agency previously determined no approval was necessary because,
in collecting the information for Secretarial elections, the
Department was fulfilling functions that would otherwise be imposed
by tribal governments. The agency has since determined that the
information collections require OMB approval under a strict reading
of the Paperwork Reduction Act regulations; therefore, in its
discretion, it estimated the information collection burdens,
resulting in an adjustment increasing burden hours.
