SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on

following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.

public record. Before including your address, phone number, email

should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.

party notification or public disclosure burden is associated with this
collection.
