SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the BIA (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the

Abstract: The BIA is seeking renewal
of the approval for the information
collection conducted under 25 U.S.C.
43, 36 Stat. 472, inter alia, and
implementing regulations, at 25 CFR
part 5, regarding verification of Indian
preference for employment. The
purpose of Indian preference is to
encourage qualified Indian persons to
seek employment with the BIA and
Indian Health Service (IHS) by offering
preferential treatment to qualified
candidates of Indian heritage. BIA
collects the information to ensure
compliance with Indian preference
hiring requirements. The information
collection relates only to individuals
applying for employment with the BIA
and IHS. The tribe’s involvement is
limited to verifying membership
information submitted by the applicant.
The collection of information allows
certain persons who are of Indian
descent to receive preference when
appointments are made to vacancies in
positions with the BIA and IHS as well
as in any unit that has been transferred
intact from the BIA to a Bureau or office
within the Department of the Interior or
the Department of Health and Human
Services and that continues to perform
functions formerly performed as part of
the BIA and IHS. You are eligible for
preference if (a) you are a member of a
federally recognized Indian Tribe; (b)
you are a descendent of a member and
you were residing within the present
boundaries of any Indian reservation on
June 1, 1934; (c) you are an Alaska
native; or (d) you possess one-half
degree Indian blood derived from Tribes
that are indigenous to the United States.
