issues: (1) is the collection necessary to 

the proper functions of the USGS; (2) 

will this information be processed and 

used in a timely manner; (3) is the 

estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 

might the USGS enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (5) how might the 

USGS minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology. 

Comments that you submit in

Abstract: The USGS Water Resources 

Research Act (WRRA) program issues an 

annual announcement to solicit 

applications for noncompetitive State 

Water Resources Research Program 

annual base grants authorized by section 

104(c) and for the national competitive 

grant program authorized by section 

104(g) of the Water Resources Research 

Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–242), as 

amended [42 U.S.C. 10303(c)]. 

Annual base grants may support 

research and information transfer 

projects as well as administration 

projects that advance the institutes’ 

overall administration and objectives; 

these research projects are generally 

selected in a competitive statewide 

solicitation, peer review, and selection 

process designed and conducted by 

each institute. National competitive 

grants (104g) focus on water problems 

and issues of a regional or interstate 

nature beyond those of concern only to 

a single state and which relate to 

specific program priorities identified 

jointly by the Secretary (of the Interior, 

as delegated to the USGS) and the 

institutes. 

The State Water Resources Research 

Institutes were established under 

Section 104(a) of the Act [42 U.S.C. 

10303(a)]. There are 54 Water Resources 

Research Institutes, one in each state, 

the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 

the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The 

Institutes cooperate with the USGS in 

establishing total programmatic 

direction, reporting on the activities of 

the institutes and associated 

researchers, as well as coordinating and 

facilitating regional research and 

information and technology transfer.

Research Act Program—State Water 

Resources Research Institute Annual

Abstract: Enrollment data is an 

important source of information which 

allows the Indian Affairs and other 

Federal agencies to equitably distribute 

resources because it is a quantifiable 

representation of a Tribe’s population. 

Different population sizes generally 

require different levels of services and 

resources. BIA must collect this 

information to ensure effective, 

accurate, and timely distribution of 

assistance to respond to funds 

specifically appropriated for Indian 

Country, where applicable. This data 

may assist Federal agencies in 

developing distribution formulas for 

funds provided under the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act as well as for 

use in distribution of resources for such 

programs as the Department of Energy’s 

Energy Efficient and Conservation Block 

Grant or the Department of Treasury’s 

Emergency Rental Assistance Program. 

Specifically, enrollment data will be a 

data source to assist Indian Affairs’ 

allocation of supplemental 

appropriations by the Congress such as 

the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 

Act. The authority for this information 

collection is 25 U.S.C. 2. 

Title of Collection: Tribal Enrollment 

Count. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0197. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Federally recognized Indian Tribes. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 574 per year. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 574 per year. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 1 hour. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 574 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $0. 

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.

Assessment of Eligible and Ineligible 

Lands for Consideration as Wilderness 

Areas, Valles Caldera National 

Preserve 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to assess Valles 

Caldera National Preserve lands for 

wilderness eligibility. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Wilderness 

Act of 1964, and in accordance with 

National Park Service (NPS) 

Management Policies (2006), Section 

6.2.1, the NPS has initiated an 

assessment of lands within the 

authorized boundary of Valles Caldera 

National Preserve for their eligibility for 

inclusion in the national wilderness 

preservation system. 

DATES: The eligibility assessment will be 

formally initiated on July 12, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: A map of lands to be 

assessed is on file at Valles Caldera 

National Preserve Headquarters, 90 Villa 

Louis Martin, Jemez Springs, NM 87025. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Information about the wilderness 

character of these lands, and requests 

for information about the eligibility 

assessment process, should be directed 

to: Brian Smith, Valles Caldera National 

Preserve, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, 575–829–4100, vall_

compliance@nps.gov, or by mail at 

Valles Caldera National Preserve, PO 

Box 359, Jemez Springs, New Mexico 

87025. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NPS 

Management Policies (2006) Section 

6.2.1 requires that ‘‘All lands 

administered by the National Park 

Service, including new units or 

additions to existing units since 1964, 

will be evaluated for their eligibility for 

inclusion in the national wilderness 

preservation system.’’ The lands to be 

assessed at Valles Caldera National 

Preserve include approximately 88,900 

acres designated to be managed by the 

National Park Service since 2014 by 

Section 3043 of Public Law 113–291 

(December 19, 2014). 

Section 6.2.1.1 and 6.2.1.2 of NPS 

Management Policies (2006) describe 

the primary eligibility criteria and 

additional considerations in 

determining eligibility that will be used 

during the assessment process. Pursuant 

to Section 6.2.1.3 of NPS Management 

Policies (2006), the determination of an 

area’s eligibility, or ineligibility, for 

further study will be approved by the 

Director before publication of the final 

eligibility determination in the Federal 

Register. 

For areas determined to be ineligible 

for wilderness designation, the 

wilderness preservation provisions in 

the NPS Management Policies (2006) 

would not apply (NPS Management 

Policies (2006) Section 6.2.1.3). 

However, ineligible lands will continue 

to be managed in accordance with the 

NPS Organic Act and all other laws, 

executive orders, regulations, and 

policies applicable to units of the 

national park system. 

Lands and waters found to possess the 

characteristics and values of wilderness, 

as defined in the Wilderness Act and 

determined eligible pursuant to the 

wilderness eligibility assessment, will 

be formally studied to develop the 

recommendation to Congress for 

wilderness designation (NPS 

Management Policies (2006), Section 

6.2.2). The wilderness study will be 

supported by appropriate 

documentation of compliance with the
