concerning the proposed collection of
information to: (1) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

Estimation of the total number of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of response, and
hours of response: APR Non-Profit
recipients (3,250 responses × 1,680
minutes = 91,000 hours per annum) +

The BIA is
proposing to develop a ten-year
integrated weed management plan for
the Navajo Indian Reservation. The
Navajo Indian Reservation lands are
infested with noxious and/or invasive
weeds that have social and economic
impacts on the Navajo Nation. The BIA,
in partnership with cooperating
agencies, intends to develop an
integrated weed management plan to
prevent, control, reduce, and eliminate
the detrimental impacts of weed
infestations throughout the reservation.
The proposed action would authorize
new treatments of noxious and invasive
weed infestations throughout the Navajo
Indian Reservation. The number of
infestations and amount of acreage
treated will be determined by the
annual funding allocations for project
implementation. The various methods
of noxious/invasive weed control that
will be considered during development
of alternatives for the integrated weed
management plan include, but will not
be limited to, mechanical, cultural,
biological and herbicidal treatments,
and other methods that may be
identified during the public scoping
process.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. At present, the BIA
has identified the following preliminary
issues: Surface and ground water
quality; environmental justice
considerations; cultural and historic

health; and socioeconomics.
The BIA will use and coordinate the
NEPA commenting process to satisfy the
public involvement process for Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f) as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
Native American tribal consultations
will be conducted in accordance with
the Department of the Interior’s
consultation policy, and tribal concerns
will be given due consideration,
including impacts on Indian trust assets.
Federal, State, and local agencies, along
with other stakeholders that may be
interested in or affected by the BIA’s
decision on this project are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested
by the BIA to participate as a
cooperating agency.
