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
BIA enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Abstract: Submission of this
information allows Assistant SecretaryIndian Affairs, Office of Federal
Acknowledgment (OFA) to review
applications for the Federal
acknowledgment of a group as an Indian
tribe. The acknowledgment regulations
at 25 CFR part 83 contain seven criteria
that unrecognized groups seeking
Federal acknowledgment as Indian
tribes must demonstrate that they meet.
Information collect from petitioning
groups under these regulations provide
anthropological, genealogical and
historical data used by the AS–IA to
establish whether a petitioning group
has the characteristics necessary to be
acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the
United States. Respondents are not
required to retain copies of the
information submitted to OFA but will
probably maintain copies for their own
use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping
requirement included in this
information collection.

addition to other public-facing methods
(e.g., the BLM website).
Although the BLM has previously
held localized, in-person meetings on
the use of motorized vehicles and
aircraft in the management of wild
horses and burros on public lands, the
BLM has determined that, in light of the
ongoing COVID–19 pandemic, a virtual

applies to all Western states where the
BLM manages wild horses and burros
on public lands will provide an
opportunity for broader participation by
members of the public who might be
unable to travel and attend an in-person
meeting
The hearing will be open to the public
and will be live streamed at
www.blm.gov/live and through the
Zoom Webinar Platform.
Information about the hearing and
how to register to speak will be posted
3 days prior to the hearing online at
www.blm.gov/whb. The public will have
an opportunity to provide verbal
comments to the BLM during the 2-hour
