SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on new, proposed, revised, 

and 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 BIA; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

BIA enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the BIA 

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. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. 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. 

Abstract: The BIA owns, operates, and 

maintains three electric power utilities 

that provide a service to the end user, 

pursuant to 25 CFR 175 (Indian Electric 

Power Utilities). The BIA must collect

individual responsible for repaying the 

government its costs for delivering the 

service and bill for those costs. The BIA 

must also collect information to identify 

the location of the service delivery (i.e., 

electrical hook-up). In addition, the 

Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996 (DCIA), 31 U.S.C. 3701–3733 

requires that certain information be 

collected from individuals and 

businesses doing business with the 

government. This information includes 

the taxpayer identification number for 

possible future use to recover 

delinquent debt.
