‘‘American Indian Agricultural Resource 

Management Act,’’ as amended. Tribes, 

tribal organizations, individual Indians, 

and those entering into permits with

(a) Whether or not a permit for grazing 

may be approved or granted; 

(b) The value of each permit; 

(c) The appropriate compensation to 

landowners; and 

(d) Provisions for violations of permit

A request for comments on this 

information collection request appeared

collected to reimburse the BIA for

program. In recent years, administrative 

fees have generated approximately 

$175,000 per year.

practical utility;

estimate of the burden (hours and cost) 

of the collection of information,
