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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BTFA; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BTFA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BTFA minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
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.

trust fund accounts for individuals and tribes. The collection of 
information is required to facilitate the processing of deposits, 
investments, and distribution of monies held in trust by the U.S. 
Government and administered by the BTFA. The collection of information 
provides the information needed to establish procedures to: Deposit and 
retrieve funds from accounts, perform transactions such as cashing 
checks, reporting lost or stolen checks, stopping payment of checks, 
change of address and general verification for account activities.
