I. Abstract
This notice is for collection of
information and public comment.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8 (d)).
Under 25 CFR 1000.355, the
Secretary’s designated representative
will conduct trust evaluations for each
self-governance tribe that has an annual
funding agreement. The end result is the
issuance of a report, which is required
by 25 CFR 1000.365. Currently,
Department of the Interior, Office of the
Special Trustee for American Indians,
Office of Trust Review & Audit (OTRA),
conducts an on-site review of trust
operations where a tribe has compacted
a trust program. During that review,
under current methodology, interviews
are conducted and documents are
requested on site. Information collected
is then brought back to the Albuquerque
office and analyzed. A draft report is
written and provided to the tribe for
comment where applicable, comments
received back are incorporated into the
report, and a final report is issued to the
tribe. The purpose of this notice is to
inform tribes and solicit comment that
the method of collecting the information
to conduct that annual evaluation is
changing to an electronic method. Each
year, tribes that compact trust programs
will be asked to conduct an online
assessment where they respond to
questions, upload documentation, and
provide a certification upon completion
that answers provided are true and
complete to the best of their knowledge.
The information received will then be
analyzed by OTRA, and a draft and or
a final report will be issued. Pending the
responses provided, additional

information may be requested. An onsite inspection will still occur, however,
it may be less often than annually.

collection is being published by the

II. Data
Title: Tribal Evaluation of Indian
Trust Programs Compacted by Tribes.
OMB Control Number: 1035–0NEW.
Current Expiration Date: Not
Applicable.
Type of Review: New Information
Collection.
Affected Entities: Tribes that have an
annual funding agreement in place to
compact Indian trust programs.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 111.
Frequency of responses: Once per
fiscal or calendar year (year the
respective tribe operates under).
(2) Annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden:
Total annual reporting per program: 6
hours.
Total number of estimated responses:
111 tribes with an estimated average of
7 compacted programs each.
Total annual reporting: 4,662 hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: The need and use of
the information is to comply with 25
CFR 1000.355. The CFR requires an
annual review of each Tribe that has an
annual funding agreement in place.
Information electronically received will
be used to conduct an initial review of
all these compacted tribes on an annual
basis. After the information is received
and analyzed, an on-site review will
occur as needed, based on risk. When an
on-site review does occur, it will
involve less time on-site than occurs
with the current on-site reviews, as
much of the documentation will have
been submitted electronically. We are
converting from collecting the
information manually to collecting the
information electronically as it is more
efficient.
III. Request for Comments
The Departments invite comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information and the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and

techniques or other forms of information
technology.

a collection of information, to search
