*Type of Review:*                     Regular submission.                

*Affected Public:*                     Enrolled members of the Navajo Nation or Hopi Tribe contemplating filing Applications for Relocation Benefits and members of their families.

The time needed to complete and file an Application for Relocation Benefits will vary depending on individual circumstances. As provided in 5 CFR § 1320.3(b)(2), the information sought on the Application is information that Applicants can be assumed to have gathered and maintained in the normal course of their lives such as their age, marital status, children and employment and residence history. Consequently it is the Agency's position that the burden involved in completion of an Application would be limited to the time needed to read the Application, fill in the Application form itself and then transmit it to the Agency. The estimated average time is thirty minutes.

(1) Reviewing instructions—10 minutes;

(2) Acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems—0;

(3) Adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements—0;

(4) Searching data sources—5 minutes;

(5) Completing and reviewing the collection of information (form)—10 minutes;
