SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking renewal of the 
approval for the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part 
166, Grazing Permits, related to grazing on tribal land, individually-
owned Indian land, or government land. This information collection 
allows BIA to obtain the information necessary to determine whether an 
applicant is eligible to acquire, modify, or assign a grazing permit on 
trust or restricted lands and to allow a successful applicant to meet 
bonding requirements. Some of this information is collected on forms. 
No third party notification or public disclosure burden is associated 
with this collection.

II. Request for Comments

    The BIA requests your comments on this collection concerning: (a) 
The necessity of this information collection for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of information, including 
the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways we could 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) Ways we could minimize the burden of the collection 
of the information on the respondents.
    Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an 
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB Control Number.
    It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for 
review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before 
including your address, phone number, email address or other personally 
identifiable 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.
