I. Abstract
The information collection is needed
to establish whether a petitioning group
has the characteristics necessary to be
acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the
United States. Federal recognition
makes the group eligible for benefits
from the Federal government.
II. Method of Collection
The acknowledgment regulations at
25 CFR part 83 contain seven criteria
(§ 83.7) which unrecognized groups
seeking Federal acknowledgment as

Indian tribes must demonstrate that they
meet. Information collected from
petitioning groups under these
regulations provide anthropological,
genealogical and historical data used by
the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs
to establish whether a petitioning group
has the characteristics necessary to be
acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the
United States. Respondents are not
required to retain copies of information
submitted to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs but will probably maintain
copies for their own use. No periodic
reports are required which would
impose a recordkeeping requirement.
