information was published on April 9, 

2018 (83 FR 15171). No comments were 

received. 

We are again soliciting comments on

below. We are especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is the collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

AS–IA; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the AS–IA enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the AS–IA 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,

Abstract: Submission of this 

information allows the Office of Federal 

Acknowledgment (OFA), within the 

Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian 

Affairs, to review groups’ documented 

petitions for the Federal 

acknowledgment as an Indian tribe. The 

acknowledgment regulations at 25 CFR 

83 contain seven criteria that 

unrecognized groups seeking Federal 

acknowledgment as Indian tribes must 

demonstrate that they meet. Information 

collected from petitioning groups under 

these regulations provide 

anthropological, genealogical and 

historical data used by the AS–IA to 

establish whether a petitioning group 

has the characteristics necessary to be 

acknowledged as a continuously 

existing Indian tribe. Federal 

acknowledgment establishes a 

government-to-government relationship 

with the United States. Respondents are 

not required to retain copies of the 

information submitted to OFA but will 

probably maintain copies for their own 

use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping 

requirement included in this 

information collection. 

Title of Collection: Documented 

Petitions for Federal Acknowledgment 

as an Indian Tribe. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0104. 

Form Number: BIA–8304, BIA–8305, 

and BIA–8306. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Groups 

petitioning for Federal acknowledgment 

as Indian Tribes. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 10. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 1,436 hours, on average. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 14,360, on average. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain or Retain a Benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Once. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $21,000,000. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
