Revision of Agency Information
Collection for Financial Assistance and
Social Services
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) is proposing to revise and submit
to the Office of Management and Budget
the information collection, titled
‘‘Financial Assistance & Social Services,
25 CFR 20.’’ The information collection
is currently authorized by OMB Control
Number 1076–0017, which expires
March 31, 2012. The information
collection requires applicants to provide
information in support of their
eligibility for BIA assistance and
services and requires a subset of those
applicants to complete an ISP in order
to obtain General Assistance. Revisions
include changes to the application form
to address all five types of assistance
authorized by 25 CFR part 20, a new
standardized form for Individual SelfSufficiency Plans (ISPs), and a new form
for tribes to submit information on the
amounts of financial assistance received
in the prior year.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before June 15,
2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on the information collection to Sue
Settles, Chief, Division of Human
Services, Office of Indian Services,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of
the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW., Mail
Stop 4513, Washington, DC 20240,

collection request submission from Sue

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The BIA is seeking to revise the
information collection it conducts to
provide assistance under 25 CFR part 20
to eligible Indians when comparable
financial assistance or social services
either are not available or not provided
by State, tribal, county, local, or other
PO 00000

Federal agencies. Approval for this
collection expires March 31, 2012. The
information collection allows BIA to
determine whether an individual is
eligible for assistance and services. This
information collection is being revised
to allow revisions to the Application to
promote usefulness in obtaining needed
client information. Specifically, the
application form was revised to include
all Financial Assistance and Social
Service components including General
Assistance, Child Assistance, Adult
Care Assistance, Burial Assistance, and
Emergency Assistance. The Application
was also revised to be more userfriendly and assist in the eligibility
determination process. In addition, the
revised Application includes a case
management tool for case workers. The
case management tool is a breakdown of
each Financial Assistance component to
be utilized as a checklist of items to
include in the case file, to check for
during the application and intake
process, and again during the eligibility
determination. The checklist is a guide
to 25 CFR part 20. The Application
includes instructions on client appeal
rights, the fraud statement, the appeal
process, Paperwork Reduction Act and
the Privacy Act. This information
collection is also being revised to
standardize the Individual SelfSufficiency Plan (ISP) that is used for a
subset of the General Assistance
applicants. The standardized form will
guide BIA and tribal case workers in
obtaining information to develop the
ISP with the client. The form will allow
case workers to develop more
meaningful and attainable goals through
specific action steps. No third party
notification or public disclosure burden
is associated with this collection. BIA is
requesting an increase in the estimated
burden hours for this information
collection to better account for the
groups of respondents (applicants for
any of the five types of assistance versus
the subset of applicants requesting
General Assistance), to better account
for the time it takes respondents to
complete the application and, where
appropriate, provide information for an
employability assessment and ISP.
II. Request for Comments
The BIA requests that you send your
comments on this collection to the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of the
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden (hours and cost) of the collection
of information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways we could enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. Approval for this
collection expires March 31, 2012.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section
during the hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m.,
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday
except for legal holidays. Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address or other personally
identifiable information, be advised that
your entire comment—including your
personally identifiable information—
may be made public at any time. While
you may request that we withhold your
