    The BIA is seeking renewal of the approval for the information 
collection conducted under 25 CFR part 166, related to grazing on trust

necessary to determine whether an applicant to obtain, modify, or

complies with all applicable grazing requirements. Some of this 
information is collected on forms that may be revised as part of this 
renewal process. No third party notification or public disclosure 
burden is associated with this collection. There is no change to the 
approved burden hours for this information collection.
