Abstract: Enrollment data is an
important source of information which
allows the Indian Affairs and other
Federal agencies to equitably distribute
resources because it is a quantifiable
representation of a Tribe’s population.
Different population sizes generally
require different levels of services and
resources. BIA must collect this
information immediately to ensure
effective, accurate, and timely
distribution of assistance to respond to
the coronavirus pandemic in Indian
Country, as provided in the American
Rescue Plan which was recently signed
into law. Specifically, enrollment data
will be a primary data source to inform
Indian Affairs’ allocation of $900
million in assistance to Tribal nations,
as well as $19 billion to be distributed
by the Department of the Treasury.
Timely collection is especially critical
as Treasury must allocate their funding
within 60 days of enactment of the
American Rescue Plan.

Count.
OMB Control Number: 1076- NEW.

have come together by passing the
American Rescue Plan to offer relief to
the public and, relevant to this
information collection, to Tribes
affected by the COVID–19 pandemic.
BIA must collect this information
immediately to ensure effective,
accurate, and timely distribution of
assistance to respond to the coronavirus
pandemic in Indian Country, as
provided in the American Rescue Plan.

sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
