SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

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: Title III of the Indian Trust Asset Reform Act (25 U.S.C. 
5601, et seq) requires the Secretary of the Interior to publish minimum 
qualifications for appraisers of Indian property and allows the 
Secretary to accept appraisals performed by those appraisers without 
further review or approval. The Secretary has developed a regulation at 
43 CFR 100 to implement these provisions. The regulation requires 
appraisers to submit certain information so that the Secretary can 
verify that the appraiser meets the minimum qualifications.
