I. Abstract

    This collection allows Federally recognized Tribal governments to 
participate in the Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) program as defined in 
25 U.S.C. 204(a)(1). The information collected determines the 
allocation of IRR program funds to Indian tribes as described in 25 
U.S.C. 202(d)(2)(A).

II. Request for Comments

    The BIA requests your comments on these collections 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, such as through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an 
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it 
has a valid OMB Control Number.
    It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for 
review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Before 
including your address, phone number, email address or other personally 
identifiable information, be advised that your entire comment--

identifiable information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to 
do so.
