information collection requests. The 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of

Class III Gaming Procedures 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0149. 

Type of review: Extension of a 

currently-approved collection. 

Title: Class III Gaming Procedures, 25 

CFR Part 291. 

Summary: The collection of 

information will ensure that the 

provisions of the Indian Gaming 

Regulatory Act (IGRA), the relevant 

provisions of State laws, Federal law 

and the trust obligations of the United 

States are met when federally 

recognized Tribes submit Class III 

procedures for review and approval by 

the Secretary of the Interior. Sections 

291.4, 291.10, 291.12 and 291.15 of 25 

CFR Part 291, Class III Gaming 

Procedures, specify the information 

collection requirement. An Indian Tribe 

must ask the Secretary to issue Class III 

gaming procedures. The information to 

be collected includes: the name of the 

Tribe and name of the State; Tribal 

documents, State documents, regulatory 

schemes, the proposed procedures, and 

other documents deemed necessary. 

Collection of this information is 

currently authorized under an approval 

by OMB (OMB Control Number 1076– 

0149). All information is collected when 

the Tribe makes a request for Class III 

gaming procedures. Annual reporting 

and recordkeeping burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

occur one time on an annual basis. The 

estimated number of annual requests is 

12 Tribes seeking Class III gaming 

procedures. The estimated time to 

review instructions and complete each 

application is 320 hours. Thus, the total 

annual reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

be 3,840 hours. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Description of Respondents: Federally 

recognized Tribes. 

Total Respondents: 12. 

Response Hours per Application: 320. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,840 

hours. 

Tribal Revenue Allocation Plans 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0152. 

Type of review: Extension of a 

currently-approved collection. 

Title: Tribal Revenue Allocation 

Plans, 25 CFR Part 290. 

Summary: In order for Indian Tribes 

to distribute net gaming revenues in the 

form of per capita payments, 

information is needed by the BIA to 

ensure that Tribal Revenue Allocation 

Plans include assurances that certain 

statutory requirements are met, a 

breakdown of the specific uses to which 

net gaming revenues will be allocated, 

eligibility requirements for 

participation, tax liability notification, 

and the assurance of the protection and 

preservation of the per capita share of 

minors and legal incompetents. Sections 

290.12, 290.17, 290.24 and 290.26 of 25 

CFR Part 290, Tribal Revenue Allocation 

Plans, specify the information collection 

requirement. An Indian Tribe must ask 

the Secretary to approve a Tribal 

Revenue Allocation Plan. The 

information to be collected includes: the 

name of the Tribe, Tribal documents, 

the allocation plan, and other 

documents deemed necessary. 

Collection of this information is 

currently authorized under an approval 

by OMB (OMB Control Number 1076– 

0152). All information is collected when 

the Tribe submits a Tribal Revenue 

Allocation Plan. Annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

of information is estimated to average 

between 75 and 100 hours for 

approximately 20 respondents, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, researching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

Thus, the total annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

is estimated to be 1,500 to 2,000 hours. 

We are using the higher estimate for 

purposes of estimating the public 

burden. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Description of Respondents: Federally 

recognized Tribes. 

Total Respondents: 20. 

Total Annual Responses: 100. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,000

Summary: The collection of 

information will ensure that the 

provisions of IGRA, Federal law and the 

trust obligations of the United States are 

met when Federally recognized Tribes 

submit an application seeking a 

Secretarial determination that a gaming 

establishment on land acquired in trust
