intertribal consortia.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory if the recipient 
chooses to combine their GAP EPA-Tribal Environmental Plan and Work 
Plan into one document.
    Estimated number of respondents: 520 (total).
    Frequency of response: once every 3-5 years with annual updates.
    Total estimated burden: 212.5 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $23,035 (per year), which includes $0

    Changes in the estimates: This is a new collection.
