This information collection allows BIA
to obtain the information necessary to determine whether an
applicant is eligible to acquire, modify, or assign a grazing
permit on trust or restricted lands and to allow a successful
applicant to meet bonding requirements, related to grazing on
Tribal land, individually-owned Indian land, or government
land.
US Code:
25 USC 3701, et seq. Name of Law: American Indian Agriculture
Resource Management Act
The BIA added space for the
applicants’ contact information to Form 5-5524 based on the
permittee comments. Information concerning mortgage holders and
non-permit grazing lands is needed for the BIA to prevent
individuals from obtaining allotted grazing privileges when they
are not bona fide, tribal-member livestock operators. A new
Authority to Grant Grazing Privileges (Form 5-5525) is needed only
when a change in the beneficial owner of a parcel occurs. Other
increases and decreases in burden estimates occurred due to
interest in grazing privileges, increased program accuracy due to
technology and Departmental initiatives, and changes in respondent
activity.
