SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The ``American Indian Agricultural Resource Management Act,'' 
(AIARMA), 25 U.S.C. 3701 et seq., authorizes the Secretary of the 
Interior, in participation with the beneficial owner of the land, to 
manage Indian agricultural lands in a manner consistent with identified 
Tribal goals and priorities for conservation, multiple use, sustained 
yield, and consistent with trust responsibilities, related to grazing 
on Tribal land, individually-owned Indian land, or government land. The 
regulations at 25 CFR 166, Grazing Permits, implement the AIARMA and 
include the specific information collection requirements.
    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. The burden hours for this continued 
collection of information are reflected in the Estimated Total Annual 
Hour Burden in this notice.

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 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 we will be able to do so.
