SUMMARY: The Minerals Management Service's Office of Indian Royalty 
Assistance (OIRA) is soliciting comments from Indian mineral owners to 
determine the effectiveness of its services. OIRA will use this 
information to develop and implement new procedures to improve and 
streamline its services.
    Individual Indian mineral owners are requested to respond, using a 
customer comment postcard, to three questions by checking ``Yes'' or 
``No'' boxes and to a fourth question with a written response. The four 
questions are: 1. Did we answer your questions? 2. Did we respond 
timely? 3. Did we treat you courteously? 4. How can we improve our 
service? We estimate that it takes about 2 minutes to respond to these 
questions and that approximately 60 respondents will respond annually.
    Description of Respondents: Individual Indian mineral owners.
    Frequency of Response: Upon request after receiving assistance from 
the Office of Indian Royalty Assistance.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden: 2 minutes.
    Annual Responses: 60 responses.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2 hours.
    Bureau Clearance Officer: Jo Ann Lauterbach, (202) 208-7744.
