SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 1024-0144.
    Title: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation 
Regulations 43 CFR 10.
    Form(s): None.
    Type of request: Extension of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Description of need: The Native American Graves Protection and 
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) requires museums to compile certain 
information (summaries, inventories, and notices) regarding Native 
American cultural items in their possession or control and provide that 
information to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian tribes 
and Native Hawaiian organizations, and the National Park Service 
(acting on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior).
    Affected public: Museums defined in NAGPRA as any institution that 
receives Federal funds and has possession of or control over Native 
American cultural items.
    Obligation to respond: It is mandatory to comply with the 
requirements of the law.
    Frequency of response: Information collection requirements are done 
on an as-needed basis, with summaries due within six months of either 
receipt of a new collection or acknowledgment of a new Indian tribe, 
and inventories due within two years of either receipt of a new 
collection or acknowledgment of a new Indian tribe. An institution 
receiving Federal funds for the first time must provide a summary 
within three years and an inventory within five years.
    Estimated total annual responses: 150 total responses (Responses 
for summaries or inventories at 46, notices at 104).
    Estimated average completion time per response: Public reporting 
burden for this collection of information is expected to average 100 
hours for the exchange of summary/inventory information between a 
museum or Federal agency and an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian 
organization and six hours per response for the notification to the 
Secretary, including time for reviewing instructions, searching 
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and 
completing and reviewing the collected information.
    Estimated annual reporting burden: 5,224 hours.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The practical utility of the 
information being gathered; (2) the accuracy of the burden hour 
estimate; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden to 
respondents, including use of automated information collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Before including 
your address, phone number, e-mail 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 OMB will be able to do so.
