SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The BIA is seeking to revise the 

information collection it conducts to 

provide assistance under 25 CFR 20 to 

eligible Indians when comparable 

financial assistance or social services 

either are not available or not provided 

by State, tribal, county, local, or other 

Federal agencies. Approval for this 

collection expires March 31, 2012. The 

information collection allows BIA to 

determine whether an individual is 

eligible for assistance and services. This 

information collection is being revised 

to allow revisions to the Application to 

promote usefulness in obtaining needed 

client information. Specifically, the 

application form was revised to include 

all Financial Assistance and Social 

Service components including General 

Assistance, Child Assistance, Adult 

Care Assistance, Burial Assistance, and 

Emergency Assistance. The Application 

was also revised to be more userfriendly and assist in the eligibility 

determination process. In addition, the 

revised Application includes a case 

management tool for case workers. The 

case management tool is a breakdown of 

each Financial Assistance component to 

be utilized as a checklist of items to 

include in the case file, to check for 

during the application and intake 

process, and again during the eligibility 

determination. The checklist is a guide 

to 25 CFR part 20. The Application 

includes instructions on client appeal 

rights, the fraud statement, the appeal 

process, Paperwork Reduction Act and 

the Privacy Act. This information 

collection is also being revised to 

standardize the Individual SelfSufficiency Plan (ISP) that is used for a 

subset of the General Assistance 

applicants. The standardized form will 

guide BIA and tribal case workers in 

obtaining information to develop the 

ISP with the client. The form will allow 

case workers to develop more 

meaningful and attainable goals through 

specific action steps. No third party 

notification or public disclosure burden 

is associated with this collection. BIA is 

requesting an increase in the estimated 

burden hours for this information 

collection to better account for the 

groups of respondents (applicants for 

any of the five types of assistance versus 

the subset of applicants requesting 

General Assistance), to better account 

for the time it takes respondents to 

complete the application and, where 

appropriate, provide information for an 

employability assessment and ISP. 

II. Request for Comments 

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 31, 2012. 

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, 

e-mail address or other personally 

identifiable information, be advised that 

your entire comment—including your 

personally identifiable information— 

may be made public at any time. While 

you may request that we withhold your 

personally identifiable information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Brief Description of Collection: 

Submission of this information is

occasion. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 (0.5
