SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
    Abstract: The BIA owns, operates, and maintains three electric 
power utilities that provide a service to the end user, pursuant to 25 
CFR 175 (Indian Electric Power Utilities). The BIA must collect 
customer information to identify the individual responsible for 
repaying the government its costs for delivering the service and bill 
for those costs. The BIA must also collect information to identify the 
location of the service delivery (i.e., electrical hook-up). In 
addition, the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), 31 U.S.C. 
3701-3733, requires that certain information be collected from 
individuals and businesses doing business with the government. This 
information includes the taxpayer identification number for possible 
future use to recover delinquent debt.
