information collection requests. We did
not receive any comments during the
request for comments period published
January 24, 2006 (67 FR 3883). The

Please note that we will not sponsor

Class III Gaming Procedures
Type of review: Renewal.
Title: Class III Gaming Procedures, 25
CFR Part 291.
Summary: The collection of
information will ensure that the
provisions of the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act, the relevant provisions
of State laws, Federal law and the trust
obligations of the United States are met
when federally recognized tribes submit
class III procedures for review and
approval by the Secretary of the Interior.
Sections 291.4, 291.10, 291.12 and
291.15 of 25 CFR part 291 Class III
Gaming Procedures, specifies the
information collection requirement. An
Indian tribe must ask the Secretary to
issue class III gaming procedures. The
information to be collected includes:
name of Tribe and State; tribal
documents, State documents, regulatory
schemes, the proposed procedures and
other documents deemed necessary.
Collection of this information is
currently authorized under an approval
by OMB (OMB Control Number 1076–
0149). All information is collected when
the tribe makes a request for class III
gaming procedures. Annual reporting
and record keeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
occur one time on an annual basis. The
estimated number of annual requests is

procedures. The estimated time to
review instructions and complete each
application is 320 hours. Thus, the total
annual reporting and record keeping
burden for this collection is estimated to
be 3,840 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Description of Respondents: Federally
recognized tribes.
Total Respondents: 12.
Response Hours per Application: 320.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,840
hours.
Tribal Revenue Allocation Plans
Type of review: Renewal.
Title: Tribal Revenue Allocation
Plans, 25 CFR part 290.
Summary: In order for Indian tribes to
distribute net gaming revenues in the
form of per capita payments,
information is needed by the BIA to
ensure that Tribal Revenue Allocation
Plans include assurances that certain
statutory requirements are met, a
breakdown of the specific uses to which
net gaming revenues will be allocated,
eligibility requirements for
participation, tax liability notification
and the assurance of the protection and
preservation of the per capita share of
minors and legal incompetents. Sections
290.12, 290.17, 290.24 and 290.26 of 25
CFR part 290, Tribal Revenue Allocation
Plans, specifies the information
collection requirement. An Indian tribe
must ask the Secretary to approve a
Tribal Revenue Allocation Plan. The
information to be collected includes:
name of Tribe, tribal documents, the
allocation plan and other documents
deemed necessary. Collection of this
information is currently authorized
under an approval by OMB (OMB
Control Number 1076–0152). All
information is collected when the tribe
submits a Tribal Revenue Allocation
Plan. Annual reporting and record
keeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
between 75–100 hours for
approximately 20 respondents,
including the time for reviewing
instructions, researching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information.
Thus, the total annual reporting and
record keeping burden for this
collection is estimated to be 1,500–2,000
hours. We are using the higher estimate
for purposes of estimating the public
burden.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Description of Respondents: Federally
recognized tribes.
Total Respondents: 20.
Annual Response Hours: 100.
