approval for the information collection 

conducted under 25 CFR 83, to establish 

whether a petitioning group has the 

characteristics necessary to be

makes the group eligible for benefits 

from the Federal Government. Approval 

for this collection expires April 30, 

2010. Three forms are used as part of 

this information collection; but no 

changes to the forms are proposed as 

part of this renewal. No third party

Your comments should address: (a) The 

necessity of the information collection 

for the proper performance of the 

agencies, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden (hours and cost) of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;

Title: Documented Petitions for 

Federal Acknowledgment as an Indian 

Tribe, 25 CFR 83. 

Brief Description of Collection: 

Submission of this information allows 

OFA to review applications for the 

Federal acknowledgment of a group as 

an Indian tribe. The acknowledgment 

regulations at 25 CFR Part 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 Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs 

to establish whether a petitioning group 

has the characteristics necessary to be 

acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the 

United States. Respondents are not 

required to retain copies of information 

submitted to OFA but will probably 

maintain copies for their own use; 

therefore, there is no recordkeeping 

requirement included in this 

information collection. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents: Groups petitioning for 

Federal acknowledgment as Indian 

tribes. 

Number of Respondents: 10 per year, 

on average. 

Total Number of Responses: 10 per 

year, on average. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2,075 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

20,750 hours. 

Dated: January 28, 2010.

Background 

Reclamation is evaluating the 

construction of downstream juvenile 

fish passage and upstream adult fish 

passage alternatives at the dam for the 

Cle Elum Dam Fish Passage Facilities 

Project. Cle Elum Dam did not include 

fish passage facilities when constructed 

in 1933; consequently, fish passage to 

upstream habitat for fish species was 

blocked. 

As part of the effort to restore fish 

above Cle Elum Dam, the Washington 

Department of Fish and Wildlife, in 

collaboration with Yakama Nation, is 

evaluating the implementation of a 

project to reintroduce fish populations 

above the dam. The reintroduction plan 

would involve the transportation and 

release of adults for natural spawning 

and potentially hatchery 

supplementation techniques to restore 

fish above the dam. 

Early in 2001, Yakima River basin 

interest groups urged Reclamation to 

incorporate fish passage facilities as part 

of the reconstruction of Keechelus Dam 

under the Safety of Dams program. 

Reclamation determined that fish 

passage facilities could not be added 

under existing Safety of Dams authority. 

However, in the January 2002 Record of 

Decision for Keechelus Dam 

Modification EIS, Reclamation 

committed to seek funding under 

existing authorities to conduct a 

feasibility study for providing fish 

passage at all Yakima Project storage 

dams. Additionally, Reclamation agreed 

to mitigation agreement terms and 

Hydraulic Project Approval conditions 

with Washington Department of Fish
