SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

collection project was last published in
the Federal Register (81 FR 24108), on
April 25, 2016 and allowed 60 days for
public comment. No public comment

IHS–2016–0003).
I. Abstract
Representatives of the IHS seek
renewal of the approval for information
collections conducted under 25 CFR
part 900, implementing the Indian SelfDetermination and Education
Assistance Act (ISDEAA), as amended
(25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.), which describes
how contracts are awarded to Indian
Tribes. The rule at 25 CFR part 900 was
developed through negotiated
rulemaking with Tribes in 1996 and
governs, among other things, what must
be included in a Tribe’s initial ISDEAA
contract proposal to IHS. A response is
required to obtain and retain a benefit.
The information requirements for this
rule represent significant differences
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
from other agencies in several respects.
Under the Act, the Secretary of
Department of Health and Human
Services is directed to enter into selfdetermination contracts with Tribes
upon request, unless specific
declination criteria apply, and,
generally, Tribes may renew these
contracts annually, whereas other
agencies provide grants on a
discretionary or competitive basis.
Additionally, IHS awards contracts for
multiple programs whereas other
agencies usually award single grants to
Tribes.
The IHS uses the information
collected to determine applicant
eligibility, evaluate applicant
capabilities, protect the service
population, safeguard Federal funds and
other resources, and permit the Federal
agency to administer and evaluate
contract programs. Tribal governments
or Tribal organizations provide the
information by submitting contract
proposals, and related information, to
the IHS, as required under Public Law
93–638. No third party notification or
public disclosure burden is associated
with this collection.
II. Request for Comments
The IHS requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The
necessity of this information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s 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.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.

waivers of regulations that HUD has
approved, by publishing a notice in the
Federal Register. These notices (each
covering the period since the most
recent previous notification) shall:
a. Identify the project, activity, or
undertaking involved;
b. Describe the nature of the provision
waived and the designation of the
provision;
c. Indicate the name and title of the

This notice follows procedures
provided in HUD’s Statement of Policy
on Waiver of Regulations and Directives
issued on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337).
In accordance with those procedures
and with the requirements of section

regulations are granted by the Assistant

granted by HUD are listed by HUD
program office (for example, the Office
of Community Planning and
Development, the Office of Fair Housing
and Equal Opportunity, the Office of
Housing, and the Office of Public and
Indian Housing, etc.). Within each
program office grouping, the waivers are
listed sequentially by the regulatory
section of title 24 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) that is being waived.
For example, a waiver of a provision in
24 CFR part 58 would be listed before
a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part
570.
Where more than one regulatory
provision is involved in the grant of a
particular waiver request, the action is
listed under the section number of the
first regulatory requirement that appears
in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For
example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and
§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the
listing under § 58.73.
Waiver of regulations that involve the
same initial regulatory citation are in
